I have 110k in undergraduate debt. BS in Environmental Studies.
I have been admitted to both. I received a 5,000 per year scholarship to Seton with no stipulations.
I'm looking to practice health or environmental law.
Originally from South, would like to practice on west coast.
Thanks everyone I appreciate your input on this decision I have to make.

Your best choice would be to not attend law school for at least another year so that you can retake the LSAT and attend schools with reasonable employment prospects. You should also do more research about the law that you would like to practice.

Yep. You're definitely going to want to retake. Either that or don't go to law school... with your current admissions offers, it wouldn't make sense (unless
maybe you had a full-ride scholly--even then I wouldn't go to those schools).

I didn't know the boarding school from D3: The Mighty Ducks had a law school.

With your current undergrad debt, you shouldn't go anywhere except for free + COL stipend. But even if you do that, recognize that neither of these schools give you a decent shot at becoming a lawyer (or any kind).

How do you have 110K in UG debt? That sounds almost impossible, like you went out of your way to accumulate that amount...
As others said, though, do not go to law school now. Get a job of some measurable respect and pay down some debt. Then take your experience and apply to law school with a new LSAT in a few years.
If this is a troll, F-you for wasting my time.

Lol at Seton Hall or Northeastern to get to the west coast. The only school that gives you a better chance of getting to the west coast is Barry, in Florida.

Barry won't get you a job on the west coast of Florida let alone California

True story: I know a girl at my law school who has $200k in UG debt. She went to an expensive private school with no scholarship, and no parental help. But at least she had the good sense to go to a law school that gave her a full ride.

I went to an expensive school. My parents couldn't really help out so I took out loans. At graduation I had over 100k. I know people with more.
I don't want to retake the LSAT because I have already taken it twice, and don't think I could muster up a third attempt.
Should I try to hustle Northeastern for more scholarship money? If so, how should I ask?
My family and friends are really excited about my admittances, so I don't want to let them down and wait another year as well. They're counting on me.
Which of these two schools has a better program for health/environment law? Are there any resources I could search/study to gain more insight into those career options?
Thanks everyone who contributed.
I really appreciate it.

I guess if you plan on defaulting, it doesn't matter how much debt you take on.

a)Fighting for the rights of the insured/uninsured against insurance companies. Think Obama's mom when she was denied care by insurance companies even though she had insurance. I want to make sure those companies pay. We earned care by paying insurance. Greedy insurance companies.
b)making sure corporations don't ignore regulations and hurt mother earth. also making sure regulations with respect to national parks/forests get followed
i'm not entirely dead set though

Take a look at both schools' specialty rankings for environmental/healthcare law, and pick which one is best, but only if that school gives you at least $6k per year.
