Texas vs G-Town Forum

[lawschool22]

If you take Texas make sure you're comfortable working in Texas. Yes, Texas and GULC have similar biglaw + fed clerk percentages, but the vast majority of Texas' strength is in Texas. According to LST, 65% of UT grads ended up in Texas. The next highest geographic location was NY, at 5%. Think about that.

Don't take that to mean that I think GULC at that cost is a good idea. I think you should probably choose UT, but only if you are okay with Texas. Otherwise I wouldn't choose either.

ETA: I'm still a little confused by your total COA numbers. So if you could give real numbers to us that would be great. I made a thread in this forum (I think it's on the first page) that has a spreadsheet which will do this for you.

Exactly. How have we gone a week and a number of posts and we still don't have cost of attendance numbers?

People are lazy and ignore us when we say this. I literally ask for COA numbers in every one of these threads, point to the handy spreadsheet I made, and then get no response lol. I think law students in general do not like to think about numbers, and therefore avoid them if possible.

The people who totally ignore it just shouldn't go to law school if they don't want to actually think about such a huge financial commitment.

This case is particularly absurd to me because the OP has taken a couple weird stabs at it, he/she is just not doing exactly what has been requested.

I want 4 numbers. Cost of attendance at each. That's it.

Agree completely. Let's try to make it easier.
