Top Law Schools

Just found out that one could possibly "switch" to ED from regular admission at UVA, and I was seriously thinking about emailing UVA to switch.

At this point I have a few offers from top 30 schools, with scholarships as high as 20k...no full rides though.

Hypothetically, if I get super lucky and get into UVA without any $$$, is this a better option than going to top 30 with half the debt? (My parents will cover part of the expenses, about 15k per year)

Any suggestion is appreciated

Yes.

If you have a family who is willing to foot the bill, why not? Switch it!

I mean my family is only going to pay some of the bill(15-20k per year). UVA's tuition is over 47k, and there is living expenses... I will still be in deep debt after I graduate, probably about 120k-150k.

With the top 30 schools I will owe 60-80k.

So your parents are going to fork over $20K/year for a school with basically the lowest cost of living in the T14? Sounds like a no brainer to me. Tons of people choose UVA @ sticker (no outside help) over t-20's every cycle. Your basically getting a 40% ride

Not even a question. UVA. Your career prospects coming out of UVA compared to any top 30 will simply be a different world
