michigan. is this decision even close?

This. $20k is definitely not enough.

Come on, USC definitely has the edge in LA. USC and its alumni are like a cartel there. And its improving all around. It's just silly rankings and T-14 whoring to say otherwise. Michigan is definitely the superior law school everywhere else though.

Why not also leave open the possibility of pitching in the majors, appearing on The Bachelor, and sitting on the board of Exxon? Those are also good options you should think about maximizing.

Because I already pitched in the majors, and frankly I can't imagine the latter two experiences being nearly as awesome.
