Considering Wake Forest, Emory, and Michigan
Costs
Wake Forest ($35k/yr scholarship) : (7,500 tuition + 20,500 COL) x3 = $84,000
Emory ($29k/yr scholarship) : (20,000 tuition + 25,000 COL) x3 = $135,000
Michigan (sticker) : (52,000 tuition + 23,000 COL) x3 = $225,000
Paying With:
All Loans. Parents would help me out, and I realize this is, on its face, a better option because of the lack of interest, but they just finished paying off 400k+ of their own debt, and I'd like for them to be able to relax.
Ties:
Born and raised in Charlotte, North Carolina. HS and undergrad in Michigan. I love North and South Carolina, and my goal is biglaw in Charlotte or Raleigh, but I realize the market is saturated. I would prefer biglaw anywhere in the south (namely, Atlanta) to NYC or Chicago. Do not want PI or gov by any means.
170, 3.3
Many Thanks

Re: Wake v. Emory v. Mich
Is it more important for you to have biglaw or to be working in the south?

Re: Wake v. Emory v. Mich
southern small firm (midlaw?) > northern biglaw > southern gov or PI
I'm just not sure of the small firm possibilities in the Carolinas.

Your COL estimates seem a little high.
Maybe just borrow some money from them? Interest free principle ftwoldhornets wrote: Paying With:All Loans.

I'm interested in this as well. What is the employment situation looking like in Charlotte and RTP?
