Which law school should I attend?

[2Fast]

just become a professional poker player and don't go to law school - you'll hate being a lawyer after school anyway as all the ones I know are miserable 100-hour plus a week guys...

You would be [censored] insane to not go to Harvard. Harvard law school grads are exceptional people (more than any other I've met). And the connections you'll get at Harvard are more than worth any inconvenience.

My college roommate went to Harvard Law. He is not exceptional. Two college friends went to Boalt. One is exceptional, the other isn't. Another college friend went to Stanford. She is exceptional. Several went to Georgetown. They are decidedly unexceptional and will be running for local offices in LA shortly.

I think maybe the schools aren't the deciding factors here.

EDIT: He was Law School Council President or something at Harvard Law, so he wasn't a slouch.

I have a friend that was accepted to all 5 of the top schools this year (Harvard, Yale, Stanford, Columbia, NYU). She's finalizing between Harvard and Columbia *only* because Columbia is offering a full ride on tuition. If you are not getting that offer from any of them, then Harvard is the obvious, easy choice.
If she's strongly considering effectively giving up $150k to go to Harvard, your choice shouldn't be that difficult.

You caught a very nice break by getting in with only a 170 and a Syracuse degree. Don't blow it.

You can't really compare Cambridge to NYC like this. Harvard is as close to Boston (and as easy to get to) as Columbia is to the Upper West Side.

uh, CU is located on the UWS.

some would disagree with you (inc. wikipedia), and anyway, it's basically a question of semantics.

I don't quite understand why Harvard is the "obvious, easy" choice with no money when Yale is a higher ranked school.

Hey guys, long time no see. [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

I currently go to Syracuse University(surprise, surprise). I also got into Cornell, Hamilton, Colgate, and Syracuse for undergrad. I chose Syracuse(the least competitive of all four) so I could live at home and not have to live in the dorms. I have since moved out and now live off-campus in a sweet apartment. Anyway,

I have a 4.0 with a dual business/poli sci major. I got a 170 on my LSATs and with my 4.0 I've just been accepted into Harvard, Cornell, NYU, Columbia, Syracuse and Buffalo law schools. I was rejected from Yale. I am soliciting recommendations on which law school I should attend.

Anyway, I guess that these top laws schools consider Syracuse a quality education(which it really isn't- I'm sure I would have to work much harder at a school like Cornell or Colgate), and I guess that's why they let me in.

But back to the law schools. I think that my top two choices are Cornell and Harvard. Harvard because it is the most competitive of all the law schools I was accepted to, and Cornell because it's less than 90 minutes from my house. What do you guys think?
