Top Law Schools

Hey guys,

I recently got into UF, not sure if I got any money. Also got into UM with a 27k per year scholarship with stip being that I remain in the top half of the class. I'm from Miami, so i'm extremely torn. Looking for some advice...

What are your numbers?

UF at sticker is better than 27k to Miami.

UF: $128k total COA

UM: $233k - $81k = $152k total COA

I wouldn't go to UF at sticker but if you get some money there it might not be a bad choice. Don't go to UM. Even with a scholly it is more expensive than a much better school in UF and there is a chance you lose your scholarship and end up paying a ridiculous amount.

Retake for money at UF or go to UF now.

From what I've heard (I live in Florida and work alongside lawyers for a living), UM is a travesty of a school. Their bar passage rate is abysmal.

UF is the flagship school of Florida and I think you'd find it more worthwhile. Plus, Gainesville is very inexpensive and a fun little town.

If you want to go back to South FL I'd do either Miami for free tuition or UF for $75k debt. That's it.

Edit: or an elite school

I'm from Miami, so I could still live with my parents so my COL will be pretty low if I stay in Miami. I sent in a letter to UF to find out if I could receive money, since i've gotten MAJOR money from other schools.
