Berkeley vs. Georgetown

I am interested in Big Law in the D.C. market. The practice field I want to work in is mostly in D.C. (regulatory/compliance). I am from the D.C. area, went to school here, and have agency experience here. So my network is here. However, Berkeley is a slightly better ranked school with better job placement (most of which are on the west coast). Any thoughts?

I think you should go to GULC. Indeed, Berkeley is ranked slightly higher, but if D.C. is your true target market, especially considering your specific area of interest and experience, attending GULC would seem to beget many more favorable opportunities than Berkeley.
