What non-t14 do you have a full-ride at?

None of the above.
But, assuming the full-ride is a decent school in a place you want to practice in, then that could be a good option.

Chicago looks best at those prices, depending on where the non-T14 full ride is from.

Of the three options, Chicago. It's worth an extra $20K over Michigan, IMO. But I agree that the non-T14 full ride could be a better option depending on the school.

If OP wants big law, he/she should choose between chicago and columbia. Have you tried negotiating?

Also, did you not get any money from NU or Cornell? They tend to be the most generous of the lower T14.

That's a pretty nice full ride, I think. I don't know enough about that degree's portability in the SE though...wokenenden wrote:Negotiation has been largely fruitless..full ride is at WashU

Big splitter? K-JD? Need more info. I wouldn't go to WUSTL for free if I wanted biglaw, but I also probably wouldn't spend 200k+ on law school. Waiting a few cycles to reapply might make more sense.

According to 2012 employment stats, WUSTL actually placed just as well as Chicago and Columbia in the SE and only slightly worse than Michigan. I don't know the breakdown for big law v. PI (given SE includes DC), but it is definitely not a comparatively bad choice for that region.

None of these options sound good at COA prices you listed. I'd probably reconsider attending LS this year. What was your highest LSAT? Are you a splitter?

How are Chi and CLS so differently priced if you have at most a $30k scholarship at one? Columbia is only ~$4K more expensive per year. CoL maybe be another few thousand.
At current prices, Chicago (although Im doubtful of this delta).

Yes because 290k is peanuts. And columbia is worth 60-70k more than chicago.chizzy wrote:If OP wants big law, he/she should choose between chicago and columbia. Have you tried negotiating?
I hope you 0Ls all pick sticker price at 300k because it'll be funny if you have to work 8 years in biglaw just to break even while still living like a school teacher.
As for this thread, Chicago, I guess, but I sure wouldn't want to be in your shoes coming out of law school.
