Michigan, Virginia, or Penn? Forum

[Dr. Strangelove]

Which would you choose and why?

[JollyGreenGiant]

M. closer to home and where I want to practice.

[MC Southstar]

Penn, closer to home and where I want to practice. Also, it's in a city.

[09042014]

Virgina because it's the one you have the better shot at.

[motiontodismiss]

M. closer to where I want to practice.

[holydonkey]

Whichever is cheaper for you

[flyingpanda]

Virgina because it's the one you have the better shot at.

[Bronte]

It's the FINAL COUNTDOWN!!!!



MICHIGAN vs. VIRGINIA vs. PENN! The three titans clash for the first and last time ever on TLS. Who will be victorious? Tickets are scarce, so get them now while they last.

The weather at all three certainly isn't ideal, but out of these three, I chose Michigan. Part of the reason I chose Michigan is because I really liked their collegiate atmosphere. That doesn't mean the other two lacked a collegiate atmosphere, it just means I liked Michigan's atmosphere better. Also, Michigan gave me $ which was a big plus. I could probably list out detailed reasons why I chose one over the other two... but I'm at work.

Would lean towards UVA because I want to practice in DC, but otherwise whichever is cheaper after scholly.

Definitly Penn, its IVY and has the best placement in NLJ250 in NYC, according to some stats. High job prospects no matter which way you look at it, all 3 schools are amazing. Just wish i would see more love for Penn (no i dont go there).

- Michigan gives the best money

- Virginia is easiest to get into

- Penn has the best job and clerkship placement (obv. close though)

- Virginia has the best weather

- Michigan's OCS tricks their students into bidding poorly at OCI

- Penn is in Philly, ick

- Penn is the most LGBT friendly, if that's your cup of tea

- Virginia has the party image

- If you want a specific market, M=Chi/West Coast, P=NY, V=DC

- Michigan has the most historic prestige

I'm sure there's more

-Penn has a number of amazing 3-year joint-degree programs.
-Michigan seems to have the most "national" placement (this is debatable, but it seems to be a prevalent perception).
-Penn has the smallest class size of the bunch (definite plus ITE).
-Michigan's facilities are beautiful (minor consideration, but still). Think Hogwarts .
