BU v GW v BC Forum

[crgm93]

Hi!

I got into BU and GW and I'm having trouble deciding which to attend. My COA is the same for both. I spent 4 years ib Boston for undergrad and would like to go to DC for law school. I worked in Boston so I have those connections but I have family friends in DC. Both schools have changed rankings and while BU is on top this year I know that might change in the future. I am interested in doing employment or immigration law but that isn't set on stone. Anyone mind sharing their experiences? I got waitlisted at Georgetown and Northwestern so if I get into either if them that's the one I'll attend. I just want to know which school to put my deposit into since the deadline is coming up, just in case both reject me.

Thanks!

What is your estimated COA, and where do you want to work (not go to school-- work)? GPA/LSAT?

Are you committed to a PI track, regardless of whether you stay focused on immigration/employment law?

When you say employment/immigration, do you have a reference point for that? Biglaw employer side/corporate immigration work or employee side/PI immigration work? This in addition to the estimated COA/scholarships and where you want to work will be important.
