Need a little push

Hey guys,

I am leaning towards attending Wash U. I got a decent scholarship there that made the school really competitive with my in-state tuition at Wisconsin Law.

I was hoping for some opinions on here? No one else seems to get how hard of a decision this can be to make if they haven't tried to choose a law school.

Do you want to live in Washington or in Wisconsin.

Sorry, I'm from the west coast. Thought he was talking about UW, not WUSTL. I vote wustl.

Go wherever you would rather work after school, especially if they are similar in cost.

Note that your existing ties to either region will be a valuable asset in your quest to land a job (which may be quite difficult depending on your expectations). Read: network.

For a second opinion, seek advice from attorneys in the region where you want to work--especially those in jobs you would like to have.
