Cardozo vs. UCLA vs. UT-Austin
Cardozo offered me a full tuition scholarship 450000. I went to NYU undergrad and have a lot of contacts in New York who would probably be able to help me find a job out of school.
UCLA or UT-Austin would be sticker price.
Any thoughts?

That's 45,000 NOT 450,000, much to my own dismay...

Re: Cardozo vs. UCLA vs. UT-Austin
where do you want to work?
california- ucla will be your best bet
Texas- UT
NYC- Dozo
do you have any other options there/ Right now your choices of which school to choose should be based on where you want to work after law school.

Scholarship stipulation is that I have to remain in the top 90% of the class. Frankly, if I can't do that, I'm dropping out because I couldn't get a job anyways...
Still waiting to hear from Fordham, NYU, Columbia.

Top 90% would be extremely easy to maintain. Just don't get straight C's. If you mean top 10%, however, then taking the scholarship could be risky. Try to negotiate out of the condition.robchuckbob wrote:Scholarship stipulation is that I have to remain in the top 90% of the class.

Personally, I'd take a full ride at T2 over sticker at any place except HYS. Employment, even big law, is still very likely coming out of a T2 if you are in the top 10%. Your scholarship seems to indicate that you would be able to achieve that.

Re: Cardozo vs. UCLA vs. UT-Austin
Honestly if you have good contacts in NY already I would go to Dozo. It seems like the safe play in this economy. Even assuming you need help for cost of living, coming out of Dozo with 50k in debt and contacts doesn't seem terrible.
With that said, I will say its important to know what you want to do. If you want firm work I suggest waiting on Fordham, and leveraging UCLA/UT acceptances to get half-ride or something like that from them. Fordham will likely be your best option, though if you get in at either NYU or Columbia I would just take that at sticker and run.

You should get some money from Fordham. Go there (unless you get into NYU or CLS.)
