Some people might think this is a no-brainer because Miami is higher ranked, but some background info: I've always lived in Miami and I'm not particularly fond of the city...for many reasons. The only thing that would keep me here is the fact that I'm very close to my family and they happen to live here. Also, I've always loved Boston when I visit and could see myself living there (despite the winters...which kind of suck). I like the people and the culture more in Northeastern cities. Maybe the grass *is* always greener?
HOWEVER, I want to go into International/Business Law and know that Northeastern is mostly geared towards Public Interest and is, furthermore, competing with Harvard, BU, AND BC for jobs. But a mid-level firm paying a decent amount in Boston trumps a top job in Miami in my opinion any day (again, I'm not too keen on staying in Miami). I know both schools are largely regional, but 2 questions:
1. What kind of job can I get in Boston (if any) graduating from UMiami? What % rank do I have to be in going from Miami law school --> Boston work?
2. Is it easier to transfer to a better school in Boston from Northeastern (which has no class rank but is in the city) or from Miami (which has a class rank, is a higher ranked school, but is regional to South Florida)?
Need to make deposit ASAP so please...HELP!!!!!
