Re: BU ($$) v Fordham ($$) v GW ($) v BC ($$), retaking in June

I think I lean towards depositing at BC from these options. For you, since you managed to save a lot of money, I think it'd be helpful to know what your opportunity costs. How else could you invest that money? Why are you giving up your job? Why do you want to do biglaw?

I know this is a little different than what you asked about in the OP, but I think they're important threshold questions for answering your non-technical questions (which you're best off asking Spivey about, IMO).

I try not to pay attention to small shifts each year, but the numbers look better at BC over time. Here are the school comparison pages for prior years:

Couple that with BC being cheaper.

That's remarkable that BC had that kind of advantage over BU in 2011.

I vote BC OP. But how are the figures you have this low? Presumably they're the figures without your savings tacked on? I have BC at 118k debt at a 100+k scholarship.

Just a quick estimate, they also don't have interest added to them because I will not be taking out loans.
