Cornell Law (135k) vs Columbia (0) vs Berkeley (45k) Forum

Location is not a factor.
What would you choose?

[kobe1020]

no idea what you are after so i guess all we can tell you is to take the money and run

[hephaestus]

What do you want to do and where do you want to practice? I think Cornell is the easy choice here.

wrong thread?

Cornell and it's not even hard. You'll be taking big law to service that kind of debt at Columbia anyway. Might as well as go to Cornell and get NYC big law for cheaper.

I see no reason that Columbia is worth 135k more than Cornell in any situation for anyone ever.

Maybe Berkeley is worth 90k more for someone absolutely hell bent on Cali with tenuous ties, but you have given us no information so I don't know if this is you.

With no information the only decision anyone can logically give you is the free ride to Cornell. You said location is not a factor, but who knows if that means location of the law school itself or location of preferred employment or both. If you prefer to work in CA then Berkeley at $45k is pretty stellar.
