I recommend retaking the lsat. Starting from a 36 you could get nothing right and still have the record for biggest improvement.

-Your general career goals
-Your LSAT
-How many times you have taken the LSAT

either way, the answer is going to be: they are both too expensive (you are way undershooting COA). You aren't including interest, tuition increases, etc.

As you said, Emory prob forces you to stay in Georgia. Texas prob limits your options to the Texas market. So it depends on where you want to live.

You're from Boston but looking at schools in Georgia and Texas? do you want to end up in these markets?

I have no particular attachment to boston or anywhere else in the country.
