BU vs. uMinn... NEED HELP Forum

[vinrod]

BU or uMinn? uMinn is giving me more money, but I haven't made a decision and need to by Wednesday. Any suggestions?

Do you want to spend the rest of your life in Boston or Minny? Scholarship amount at each school? Goals as a lawyer? GPA/LSAT?

I only took the LSATs once. I believe I want to get into International Law, focusing specifically on Europe. Both uMinn and BU offer abroad programs in Italy, which would be ideal for me, since I studied Italian in college.

Horrible flame.

Horrible flame.

OP, he is saying this because international law is not really a thing coming out of a T30. Saying you want to practice international law at this level either means you dont know what you are getting into or you are purposefully trying to get a rise out of posters.

Im at a T30. I can verify that international law is in fact a unicorn.

You could have milked this far longer. I'm disappointed.
