Re: UCLA vs GWU for PI
Do you have scholarship offers yet? Illinois is probably not worth considering, but you're super-early on the game at this point. Wait until you have a better sense of all your offers (including scholarships) before you start making specific choices.BeJimmiebum wrote:Hey everyone, I saw this thread and thought Id reopen it since Im currently deciding between U Michigan, U Illinois and UCLA for AMO/QI.

Re: Michigan v. UI & UCLA
I split this off into a new thread because, IMO, Michigan vs. UCLA is not at all comparable to GWU vs. UCLA. Michigan vs. UCLA is comparing a T13 renowned for its PI prowess to a strong regional T20. To me there would have to be a yawning cost differential before it would potentially make sense to pick UCLA over Mich.
In contrast, GWU vs. UCLA is comparing a strong regional T30 to a strong regional T20. The choice in that case should be driven largely by the applicant's post-law school geographic preference - DC vs. CA.
