U Oregon $ or Seattle $$
So I have 1/3 tuition scholly at UO with no strings, and a little over 1/2 tuition scholly from Seattle but with a top 25% stipulation.
UO also offers law students graduate fellowships that cover 50% tuition for 2nd and 3rd years, which I would probably apply for.
With the scholly, Seattle becomes cheaper by a significant amount, but if I lose the scholly it is significantly more expensive.
I'm leaning UO (unless I get off WLs at some of my reaches), but I want to make sure that I'm not missing some over arching reason to choose Seattle over UO.
I plan on practicing in the NW, either in Portland or Seattle.

then take UO. with in-state tuition UO should also get pretty cheap with that scholarship

I would choose UO primarily on account of the strings attached to the Seattle scholarship. Top 25% is a pretty harsh condition.
UO may not be ideal given where you want to practice, but it seems reasonable to believe you will have a reasonable shot at those markets if you network well and target your summer work appropriately.

Yeah, I would tend to agree.
For whatever it's worth, I am also potentially interested in the Pacific NW and I chose to apply to UO and not Seattle.

Yeah, b/c at least with U of O you have great placement throughout Oregon and into Portland AND a decent alumni network up in Seattle. With SU you are looking at Seattle and basically Seattle only, a very tough market. Add on those GPA requirements and you are looking at a one year scholly at SU if you consider the odds objectively.Lonagan wrote:Yeah, I would tend to agree.
