Thanks for the advice everyone. Looks like I'm headed to UVA in the fall!

UVA is justified imo. Cornell will probably lock you into NYC so I think paying ~20k for other options is fine.

I think your interest in VA justifies UVA here. Cornell could probably get you where you want to go, but I wouldn't risk it for 20k. Especially if you are interested in secondary markets, you build credibility by staying in VA.
Full disclosure: Cornell 2L.

if you're as hopeful for richmond biglaw as this post makes you seem, $20k+interest extra for uva is a no brainer. especially where the rest of your preferences are all slightly boosted by uva affiliation, too. pop that collar, brah

I went to Cornell, but UVA is credited given your goals.

Not only is UVA TCR for your goals, I think UVA is the better choice for any random long-term goals you might have. Given your connections to the state and Richmond you should know that UVA is an incredibly strong brand in Virginia.
