Yeah I think in general when it comes to big law GULC will give you much more wiggle room. Hence:

But there could be a number of things that tip the scales in UT's favor. Like backup goals. Which you're going to need from either school because big law odds ain't super great at either.

Yeah, back up is important. What if you strike out of biglaw from both? Where do you want to work if you miss Houston biglaw?
