Regional southwest schools vs. T-14

[kfischm1]

Is the University of Arizona/Arizona State/UCLA/USC/New Mexico/UC Davis or any non-14 school in the Southwest worth it at sticker price if I want to practice in the Southwest? What about a T-14 at sticker? Would a T-14 make sense at sticker over a lesser ranked school in the region (such as those listed above) if they offered a significant scholarship? Interested in the non-profit sector, not big law.

GPA 4.0+ and sub-170 LSAT.

Take time off to gain more work experience?

Edited to include more schools in the question and clarify question.

Neither of these schools is worth that price. Go to Spain and retake the LSAT. A 4.0 with a better score will get you better schools or at least more money
