I put down my Cornell deposit for this fall. I'm extremely worried about the debt though. They offered me a small scholarship, but I'm still looking at almost 200k in debt afterward. I want to do BigLaw in the NYC market after law school to pay off my debt. Any advice on whether it's worth it to just go to Cornell now versus risk retaking the September LSAT (I think I can go up at least 4 points) and reapplying to T14 schools again in hopes of a bigger scholarship and/or a better ranked school?

Retake. No school is worth $200k debt for biglaw.

Retake. Your GPA would be helpful too. CCN would also be a possibility with a high enough jump.
