Which would you choose?

UCLA (69k CoA)
UT (59k CoA)

Would do entertainment at UCLA or energy at UT. Like entertainment slightly more, but can you crack it after LS without prior experience? Do the jobs pay well?

Where are you from? Where do you want to practice? Where are your networks? What have you thought about the programs of the two schools? Which school do you like better? Money isnt really a major factor- you need to decide which school and area you prefer and go with that. There is a good chance that you will change your mind about what type of law you want to practice- so unless you have experience in either industry acknowledge the fact that you may change your mind a few times.

1. from Texas
2. I want to practice in either TX or CA
3. I do not have an extensive network in either place (may be larger in CA)
4. I really liked both programs
5. UCLA seems like a slightly better time-LA baby!
6. No experience in either industry

I need help.

Entertainment is very hard to break into even with experience. UCLA will help, but it will by no means make things easy.

Where are NYU for public interest, GW for IP, and Vermont for environmental?
