GW vs Notre Dame
Posted: Sat Apr 14, 2012 7:26 pm
Want to do big law. Some background info - Bio major, stats are 3.50/168.
60k at GW, 66k at ND, and 90k at Minnesota. I want to go to George Washington because I am interested in IP, but GW would cost me an additional 67k more than Minnesota and 44k more than ND over three years (and that's not even counting interest on my loans).
Shelling out an additional 67k? That's pretty much an extra year of school + living expenses...that's steep. Problem is I do not want to be stuck in Minnesota for years after graduation, I freakin hate the cold. Portability of a degree is important to me. Honestly I would like to work in DC, Texas, or California, but I got wait listed at UCLA and Texas and stupidly chose not to apply to USC. Does ND have a national alumni base, and would doing IP at GW allow me to get a job anywhere? Would I be trapped in the Twin Cities if I chose Minny?
If you guys could provide a little feedback in addition to your poll response, that'd be cool. Just wanted to get some other people's thoughts/opinions. Thanks
UPDATE - I have removed Minnesota from the list because I really do not want to live in the Twin Cities after graduation.
