If you're looking at New York BigLaw, then I'd say that Michigan has better placement there.

Mich is certainly a bit better, but you wouldn't be insane to choose GULC over Mich if there was money or a strong location preference involved.

Michigan, unless you receive hefty $ from GULC like nealric said.

Do you want to compete against 350 people or 650 people for BigLaw? If you believe in your abilities enough and have a huge desire to attend Gtown, go for it. Personally, ranking+small class size has made Michigan the clear choice for me between the two. I have no preference yet as to where I would like to work so Michigan is perfect for my situation. If you must work in DC, Gtown may be more suited to your situation.

At least this is a decision we get to make though. Not the worst situation in the world to be in.

So true, a lot of posters here would sacrifice their firstborn to be stuck with this choice. I don't think you can go wrong with either excellent school.

Georgetown is a diploma mill. Michigan is TCR

Michigan. Mich's first most common destination is NYC. GULC did worse than other schools at OCI partly because of their large class size.

True, but a lot of posters who had even better options pre-ITE would now happily sacrifice their firstborn in order to stanch the hemophiliac financial drain that is law school.

I see that you too have recently gone to buy books for the semester.
