UCLA vs GWU? Forum

[jennigun]

UCLA $30,000 per year, or GWU $40,000 per year? Not sure what type of law I want to practice - potentially international or public interest law, but I really have no idea. I was set on GW and the email from UCLA came today - any advice?

Where do you want to practice?

-How you will be financing your COA, i.e. loans, family, or savings
-Where you are from and where you want to work, and other places where you have significant ties (if any)

I thought in a previous thread, OP was accepted to Stanford. Did you withdraw? (please note sarcasm)

From an old post, OP has a 3.8 and a 168. Retake for Cal, girl.

please refine this and come back with a more specific goal

also where do you want to practice? UCLA is a pretty regional school. If you want to work in LA, I would go there. If you want DC or NYC, then GWU is the better choice.

168/3.8? What were your other choices? You must have broken into T14 but my guess is at sticker?
