Totally anecdotal, I realize. But I wouldn't worry about the lay prestige issue too much.
Totally anecdotal, but my Harvard acceptance has already gotten me laid twice, and I'm no Gosling. I have a douchey personality (can't you tell?) so I don't think it was some sort of placebo effect/illusory confidence boost; it was teh Harvard. As we speak, I am opening my FB to a bunch of hotties' (who have ignored me for years) flirty "congratulations" Facebook messages. Maybe the six figure debt is worth it; at least I won't have to fly to Nevada or Thailand with HLS!
i'm assuming you're joking (it's funny!), also posting acceptances on fb.. meh.. not attractive.
Of course I didn't post my HLS acceptance to FB. (I had my sister post it to hers, duh.)
So obviously what you need to do is to project how many times you'll get laid because of HLS over the next 3 years (because after that you'll be using your law firm's name, or just saying that you work at a prestigious law firm, to get laid) and multiply that number by the cost of a trip to Nevada or Thailand. If that number is more than $100k, then go to HLS.

Did someone who always wore Harvard sweaters abuse you as a kid or something?

haha. it's funny, because my dad always wore this harvard sweater. I have my own sweater and sweatpants that I still like wearing around the house.
