I agree, the responsibilities are all the same.
Here is my next question - and it is all hypothetical:
I think someone posted on here earlier that I should attend either of these schools ONLY if I have a full ride from each. That's a tall order, given that I applied to LLS late.
With that being said, if I somehow pulled off a full ride to Southwestern and half a ride to LLS, which one should I attend? My initial intuition says LLS because of the better Bar passage rate, but the thought of graduating with 0 tuition loans from Southwestern is extremely appealing.
Also, since going to a UC is out of the question because I am not about to give up my current salary and take out loans to pay my mortgage, I could always re-take the LSAT and apply to LLS next year to see if they throw more money my way. But for what I hear, they throw most of their money to FT applicants. Another issue with this is that since I'm older, waiting one more year to attend law school will cut my working life by one year, which at my age it's pretty significant. And I don't think I can convince my spouse to agree with this
I had UVA at full price last year. Now I have Northwestern with a 150k scholly. I think waiting was the right decision for me. The less debt you have, the more jobs you can feasibly take. Im only a few years out of undergrad. These schools place very similarly. I think going for full price would have been a mistake.
