I live abroad so I won't be able to visit either campus, but I applied to four schools this fall: UConn, Georgetown, Fordham, and BC, and was accepted to BC (20k/year), UConn (full tuition scholarship), and Fordham (20k/year). I scored 165 on the LSAT and had a 3.5 undergraduate GPA.
I'm hoping to stay in the Northeast, and perhaps live in a more rural environment (Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire) as I get older. My family's all in New York City. I don't have big law dreams -- just hoping to be able to pay off my debt within a reasonable timeframe, and have a job that is intellectually stimulating (I'm mostly excited for the intellectual stimulation I'll find in law school) and in which I feel like I have a directly positive impact in people's lives. My savings will more than adequately cover living expenses for the next three years. I'm considering deferring a year to study literature because I'm not sure if I'd rather become a high school literature teacher.
What do you think?

It's dumb to go to law school when you're not sure if you want to be a lawyer but it's even dumber to even pay 150k over three years to go to law school when you're not sure if you want to be a lawyer. I guess UConn is the better option here but you should try to see if law is really the thing for you.

yeah sounds like you should go somewhere for free if you are wishy washy on it.
