Choosing a Law School in the Midwest
Posted: Thu Mar 03, 2016 9:02 am
Hello everyone!
When choosing what law schools to apply to I chose law schools near Cincinnati because I own a house and didn't want my fiance to quit her job that she loves.
I applied to the following schools:
University of Cincinnati -Full tuition scholarship
University of Kentucky- Full tuition plus 13k
Indiana University- $75k scholarship which accounts for half tuition since I'm out of state.
Case Western Reserve- Hugo Grotius Fellowship which accounts for Full tuition and a stipend.
Ohio State- Application Status "still under review"...
Right now I think I have narrowed it down to Case Western Reserve and Indiana University (this very well may change once I hear back from OSU). The reason I am leaning towards CWRU is obviously the money but also the fact that I ultimately want to work conducting counter-terrorism work (I have a masters in Criminal Justice, and am in the process of becoming fluent in Arabic). They are ranked 11th in international law, have a terrorism research center, and have a very unique study abroad program. This includes specialized placement in the federal prosecutors office, and really anything specific to what you want to do.
I am wondering what your opinions are on this. Any input and/or suggestions are appreciated.
(LSAT 162, GPA 3.7) I'm from OHIO and plan on staying in OHIO unless I'm needed to relocate for my job.
