BLS (full ride) vs. Cardozo (25k in debt)
Posted: Fri May 27, 2011 10:07 pm
Just got my BLS scholarship upgraded to a full ride (with same top 40% stipulation, I would assume--calling on Monday to confirm this). If I pick BLS, I would have no debt and an extra 16k times 3 years in my bank account (money I would have otherwise spent on Cardozo).
Cardozo has offered me 21k per year, plus I can pay another 16k per year. I would commute from home and would end up owing approx 25k total in debt once I finished school.
Which option makes the most sense? I prefer Cardozo but BLS is throwing 47k per year at me. In terms of career options, I want the best job possible but do not have a "biglaw"-or-bust mentality.
Is Cardozo a better enough school to justify choosing in this situation?
