-I'm taking out loans.
-I'm from NY, and want to work in NY, however I would happily work in DC for the right job. I would not mind living there.

-Do not want to disclose gpa/lsat numbers, as I feel it is irrelevant for the question I'm asking.

Any responses greatly appreciated.

It's actually a pretty stellar answer. I would listen to him.

No that did not directly answer my question. If you look at the question I asked, I specifically gave a scenario in which there were 2 options. Saying "Neither" is not choosing one of those options, and is therefore not answering my question. If i had asked "what would you do?" instead of "which option do you choose," I would agree with you.

I just want to know which option of the 2 is preferable. Now that I've clarified this, hopefully I can get more answers that are more along the lines of what I'm looking for.

Thanks

People keep trying this strategy on TLS. It never works.

Yeah I guess you're right. I guess choose the better option is useless question on a site where every single person gonna say don't go at all unless its hys.

Thanks for nothin' guys!
