If the choice was L & C or Oregon at about the same price for each - which is the better choice?

L&C is a bit higher ranked and they both have fairly simmilar job prospects although L&C has a higher median starting sallery according to US News for whatever that is worth. With that in mind I would probably choose L&C if they cost the same... Unfortunatly they dont and L&C isent a significantly better school so if I was forced to pay full tuition I would definatly choose U of O.

I, too, applied to both U of Oregon and Lewis & Clark... Luckily, I've heard back from another school that I like as well, so I'm not AS stressed out, but I'm definitely anxiously awaiting any news.

(Somewhat?) Interesting note: I applied to 2 other private schools (besides L&C) and 2 other public schools (besides U of O). I've not heard anything from any of the public schools, BUT I've heard back from both of the other private schools, making L&C the last one to notify me...

But my husband is pushing for Lewis & Clark. We live in Kansas City, and Portland seems just awesome. So, if I get in, I'll probably either go there or to the East Coast schools that I've heard from (Wake Forest & Richmond). We've lived in the Midwest all of our lives, and we need to see some freaking ocean now & then!!

Hey, did anyone else apply for the joint JD/LLM program in Environmental Law??

Portland is fully awesome, I've lived here for about 7 years. I'm willing to answer any questions about the city if you have any.

I grew up in Portland, and am backing living there now... but went to UG at University of Oregon. I applied to L&C and UO and know students/former students from each law school, if anyone has any questions. The kids I know at UO law are "double Ducks" (people I met in UG at UO and who went on straight to law school there) and they are really having a good time there.

2.9 gpa required to keep it... I probably wont be attending but its still nice to be loved lol... Hopefully it will give me a little leverage at Lewis and Clark and Oregon at the very least

What makes you say that...? The profile here at TLS makes me feel like that is not the case at all.
