NYU/Berkeley/Penn/UMich Forum

Hi everyone! Deposit deadlines are coming up really quick and I am still debating between a few schools.

U Michigan: $105k
NYU: $37k
Berkeley: ??? -applied for a matching scholarship, but probably won't hear about this until after NYU's deadline
Penn: ???

Waitlist: Harvard

Some background: I'm 22 and my family lives in the Bay Area (big pull to Berkeley for me). Other than scholarships, I will be financing almost entirely with loans. At the moment, my goal is biglaw in either California or NY.

My stats are 170/4.0

Thanks for the help!!!

I would definitely try to get Berkeley to match that Michigan scholarship.

It's definitely between Mich and Berkeley. Both can get you to NY, but Berkeley will give you a much better chance at the Bay Area. I'd go to Mich if Berkeley gives nothing, but go to Berkeley if they match a substantial amount.
