Re: NU v. Mich v. U of C
I'm deciding between the same 3 schools right now too... I think I'm leaning towards Chicago, I personally feel like after HYS, if you get into a CCN school you almost have to go, am I wrong?

These both point to Chicago. Your only countervailing factor is:transferbound wrote:Would obviously like the best employment options possible
Are you intimidated enough to not go for the best school in your desired city? NW and Mich are certainly not a bad decisions at all but, generally, Chicago is TCR when shooting for the Chicago market.transferbound wrote:I'm a little intimidated by Chicago's reputation

Re: NU v. Mich v. U of C
Based on employment/placement statistics, your choice should be narrowed down to Northwestern & Chicago. NU has one of the best locations in the country, while the neighborhood around U of C isn't the best. Chicago is a much smaller law school in terms of number of students.
If you have any thoughts of a federal clerkship or academia, then Chicago is the best choice among the three law schools.

Re: NU v. Mich v. U of C
Choosing based on location within the same city and not based on employment prospects is kind of ridiculous. If you don't like Hyde Park, live downtown. Lots of 2Ls and 3Ls at UChicago do that.

Re: NU v. Mich v. U of C
In terms of employment, Chicago transfers > Michigan transfers > NU transfers
Definitely go to Chicago.

Re: NU v. Mich v. U of C
I am sorry that you'll have to make a daily trip to Hyde Park, but you have to go to UChi. You can still live in River North if you so desire.
