USC (sticker) vs. Notre Dame (25k per year)
Alright guys, so I just found out I was admitted at USC. So far no word on any scholarships so I assume they are not offering me anything. Is it worth it to pay sticker at USC or should I go with my original choice which was to attend Notre Dame at 25k per year? I'd like to do big law and I'm open to LA, Chicago, or NYC.

that was terribly worded. I meant that ND is offering me a scholarship of 25k per year.

USC maximizes your chances at biglaw in LA, so if LA >>>>> NY or DC, go there. On the whole though, I can't imagine their biglaw stats being that much better than ND's. Does anyone have these stats?
Also, make sure to negotiate with USC using ND's scholarship.

thanks for the input. do you think that getting into USC will give me any bargaining power for a scholly increase at ND as well? (even though they haven't given me any money)

Yikes! USC at 33% and ND at 13.5% looks pretty bad for ND.

Congrats on USC.
I know I mentioned this before, but you should really consider sitting out and reapplying next cycle. A URM (AA right?) with a 3.8/164 should have better options, or these same options with more money. I really think you underperformed and applying late killed your cycle.
