Hey guys,
So I am attempting to start and my cycle is currently going like this (3.97 Finance major at T20), 158 LSAT, KJD:
A: University of Miami (sticker)
Cardozo Law (20k non-conditional scholarship per year)
Nova Southeastern University (full-ride)
American University (sticker)
WL:
FIU
UC-Davis
GW
University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign

I want to be a corporate lawyer in south Florida in the long term. Ideally, I plan on doing Big Law for the first few years to make back some money and pay off loans, as well as financially set myself up to take a less-intensive job as I start my family. I also plan on joining a Law Review, as I have been networking this summer and I am told of its importance. If you were in my shoes, what makes the most sense? I know that out of my A's, Cardozo has biggest percentage of BL placement, but does it make sense if I do not plan on being in NY in the long-run? I could only see myself being in NY for about 3-4 years after law school.
Thanks!

Hey Sammy,

To make an useful analysis on our side, we need to see full, three-year cost of attendance (COA) for each school. That's how we can clarify what you are really buying at each school. So, if you can supply those numbers, it would make this not just easier, but possible :-D

Thanks!
