-Assuming sticker at both, so according to LST, Penn is $260k and NU is $287k (
-Like I said, I'm gunning for CA biglaw, and I'm assuming they are a wash in this regard but I'd love to get some current students thoughts on this. Penn has better NLJ 250 numbers but NU sends more grads to Cali.
-My goal overall is to get any kind of high paying job (so Penn), but from what I've heard I think I would prefer Chicago to NY, and with no ties to Chicago, Penn would limit me to NY/CA, whereas NU could potentially open up the Chicago market as well as NY and LA (so NU, correct me if I'm wrong). Take this with a huge grain of salt as I've never been to Chicago and haven't been to NY since I was a kid. Though I didn't like NY much at all.
As of now I'm thinking Penn because of their recent employment numbers (big thanks to Rayiner for the excellent employment/un employment threads), but maybe I'm just falling in love with numbers that won't necessarily be repeated. Also, NU's numbers are right there with Penn. I will say I do have WE but it is not too impressive, so being in a student body like NU may be a bit of a detriment come OCI.
TYIA for the responses.
