I have yet to be admitted to NU, and prob will be dinged anyways. If I get in, probably won't get any money. I have at least tuition to Texas (Hazelwood Exemption) and have already been admitted.
Given the following, what would you pick?
- Gunning for biglaw
- TX resident
- Strong TX ties
- all non-$ given will be on loans
- 2.75/168, but really good WE softs for someone who is K-JD
Texas - full tuition (COL would be roughly 15k/year)
NU - sticker (~65k/year)
And go!

Jesus....
I work with a guy.
TX kid all the way...
He left home and worked in Chicago. He told me it was the best experience of his life.
If you a TX lifer, really take into consideration Chicago.
Do not write off Chicago just yet, you need to let them know the TX option. Of course, those who are debt adverse are right, very very right. But let NU know what is going on.
But then TX....
Geography is always on your side in TX. If you are from the state, employers always favor the TX kids.
I was hired at a Fortune 50 IT company simply because both my hiring managers are from TX. One went to UT Law the other SMU, both of the them are TX lifers. The entire interview was discussing being raised in TX. The pay was very good.
Congrats. What a great fucking dilemma to be in.
