Damn! I'm guessing you went Cornell? Any regrets?
Went to Vanderbilt. No regrets.

Really? Did they give you even more money? Vandy offered me a deal almost identical to UT, but I kind of crossed it off after visiting (great school, but I liked UT's larger class size and Austin more than Nashville).

If you think you'd be satisfied living in Texas long-term and going into one of the major markets there, then I would choose that and avoid the debt. If not, you should probably look elsewhere.
I also have to admit that Cornell's placement from the recent NLJ 250 numbers (58%!!!!!!) versus Texas and their 26%, is also giving me something to think about.

Next year for Cornell was around 40%, don't get too excited.

But still better than UT or UCLA...

Since UT does not have a satellite campus in California, it's probably downright impossible to go to UT in California. OP, you can only go to UT in Texas. You're welcome.
Edit: Not being so snide, UT can travel to Cali. I work at a small firm in Los Angeles that's 50% UT law grads.

But what you're not sharing is that there are only two lawyers there.

I'd bet whatever Cornell's placement for Class of '11, they are still in the top 10 and significantly better than UCLA/UT/Vandy/Georgetown. And pretty much all of the Cornell posters on the board have said that OCI was pretty much "win" this past year (Class of '12). I know personally that '10 did well and even some of the no-offered people have gotten picked up by BigLaw.
That said, I do have a Cornell bias even though I don't go there.
