Notre Dame v. Wake Forest v. Temple Forum

[smg419]

HI, I have a full ride from Temple, but half rides to Wake and Notre Dame. I was wondering which school would be my best bet for cost to getting a job after graduation. I would be paying for rest of my graduation with loans and I already have a student debt from college.

Notre Dame. They've got a very strong national reputation, very good employment data, and does much better with biglaw relative to the other schools. Unless you're planning on working in NC or Philly, go with ND.

The way I see it, without additional information, is that the real choice is between ND and Temple. ND's employment outcomes are much better than Wake's. If you have no particular ties to any region and just want the best job outcome, Notre Dame gives you the best options.

If you're ok with being limited to Philadelphia, Temple probably makes the best choice if you're bringing undergrad debt with you and you don't have a preference for biglaw. You will still be taking on debt by living in Philly though and giving up earning an income for 3 years (this is why everyone asks for COA—costs of attendance).

Depending on your uGPA, and how many LSATs you have remaining, you might want to consider a retake.

No one can give you good advice without knowing where you have ties. These three schools are in wildly different geographic markets.

Also, didn't you already make this thread?
