Full ride at SCU vs Transfer to Berkeley at Sticker Forum

[hopefulIPgirl]

I already have a big law job in the field I want to practice in (patents).

Transferring would mean spending 3 hours commuting, giving up a well-paid job and going 100K debt. Alternatively, I finish up school part-time with a full scholarship, no debt and keep my big law job.

You have a non-legal job at a biglaw firm? Unless they have given you the contract to join the firm when you graduate from Santa Clara, transfer to Berkeley.

if you were at berkeley, and somebody gave you a biglaw job and 100k cash to go to SCU, would you do it?

I do patent prosecution, which is a legal job (though the litigators may disagree). Barring a major disaster, I should keep the job after I graduate and make more money doing the same thing.

Yes. I'd also have an awesome story to tell if someone asked me why I transferred to SCU.

well, then you have your answer . FWIW SCU seems to be highly respected in the silicon valley patent world
