If you're paying 80K MORE for any t14 over the other, you're fucking up. In fact, I wouldn't even go to HYS for 80k more to end up in big law.
I heartily disagree. There are several reason why a Butler might make more sense than a full ride to Duke/UVA. Ex: Your significant other works/lives in NYC and you don't want to be apart for 3 years. 80K might worth it in that case. To make a blanket statement like the first bolded statement above is completely asinine, and if you are making decisions or even giving advice in a tunnel like that you're doing something wrong. The second bolded statement above is also ridiculous imo (are you really telling me that you should go to Cornell let's say over Stanford if you want to work in California for the sole reason that it's 80K less? really?), but okay I can be done with this topic since:
