Vandy vs. Fordham vs. BU ?? Forum

[Center4Ants]

I’m hoping to get some input on my current choices.

Schools I'm considering
Vanderbilt, Fordham, BU

Cost of attendance
Fordham ~ 31,000
Vanderbilt - ~63,000
BU ~ 108,000 (haven’t tried to negotiate scholarship yet)

Financing cost of attendance
Tuition financed by scholarship & loans, living expenses paid by family

GPA/LSAT
3.2 / 170 (taken twice)

Background
Originally from NY, but attended undergrad in Boston. Currently have 3 years work experience as legal assistant/ law intern in the New York area.

Career Goals
Hoping to pursue biglaw in New York, but realistically would be happy ending up anywhere in Northeast. I am mainly concerned about employment outcomes. I don’t mind living in a different city for 3 years, if it meant I could return to northeast with a solid job offer by graduation.

I am also waitlisted at Georgetown, and would seriously consider attending if admitted, but would obviously have to put down a deposit on one of my current choices before that time.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

You'd be paying at least...3 times more for BU than for Fordham. Unless BU really increases that scholarship it has to be out. I'd take Fordham over Vandy too given your desire for the Northeast.

Probably Fordham.
