Depends what kind of job you want to get after school. If you want to get a "top job" where you can work 100 hours a week, do lots of coke and sleep under your desk (and possibly never make partner), Baylor might not cut it. If you see yourself eventually being your own man, save the money.

I agree with this post. Never underestimate how big a pain it can be repaying huge student loans. And practicing at a big firm flat out sucks. Go to Baylor, graduate debt free and if you do well there you can still get a good job in Texas. You'll also enjoy your law school experience more being a big fish in a little pond. I went to a second tier law school and did very well there, while I probably would have been middle of the pack at an Ivy League school. It's more fun being the big fish.
