UChi vs. UVa Forum

reallytallkid9 · Post by **reallytallkid9** » Fri Apr 04, 2014 6:49 pm

So, I have basically narrowed down my decision to two choices:

UVa at 50k/yr

UChi at 20k/yr

I have no real geographic ties to either area. Ideally, I'd like to work in NYC or elsewhere on the east coast after graduation. Likely in biglaw, if possible, for a few years before doing who knows what. I know UChi is the better school rankings-wise, but I am curious as to what people think the full ride from UVa does to possibly change the calculus of the situation.

Thanks in advance!

The thread title says "UChi vs. NYU," but you seem to be talking about UChi v UVA for working in NYC?

How tall are you?
This affects my advice.

0 tuition for UVA and you want NYC biglaw? That's a sweet deal. UVA all day.

This does not make sense to me.

I, like Regulus, am a U of Chicago student, and I love, love, love this school. That said, between tuition and CoL you'd probably be looking at roughly $100k in extra debt to come here, and I don't think there's anyway I'd take that on given your goals.

Congrats on great options.

Sorry for the mistake in the topic line. Yes, I did mean what I wrote in the topic (UChi v. UVa).

Thanks to everyone for the responses!!

Virginia all day. Enjoy paying off your loans years earlier than if you do UChi.

Then I'm going to have to go with UChi, since I'm more likely to end up there than UVA.
