I want to live/work in either DC, NY, or Boston. Applied to Emory on a whim, not too keen on ATL. Open to doing biglaw, but I'd like to be able to make a choice between financial ruin or biglaw if possible. None of these schools place more than 35% in biglaw regardless.

Cost per year before living expenses (NY is more $ than DC, which is more than Boston, etc...)
GW-40k
WM-16K but I have to work in library, keep 3.0
BU-45K (no word on merit scholarship yet)
Fordham-50K (same)
Cardozo- Full Ride
Emory-18k

Stats? How many times have you taken the LSAT? Total COA for each school?

Took LSAT once, got a 165, 3.5 GPA from sub-Ivy undergrad university. Not a URM.

Total COL would probably be another 20-25k per year for all of them except for WM, which is more like 15k.

W&M is probably the best option, but man that is a hard road.

Waiting and retaking could result in a much easier road. It is almost certainly worth it to try.

Retake, but WM if you must.

Retake, but GW between those choices.

Really GW at $235k+ over W&M at $95k+?

That would be a life ruining choice.

Retake for 5-10 more points and reapply next cycle. Among the current options, I'd personally go with Emory, but I do see your reservations about Atlanta.
