I'm trying to decide between Vandy (with 81K scholarship in total) and Cornell (at sticker).

I did my research and tuition + expenses comes down to 78K/year for Vandy and 85K/year for Cornell. So with my scholarship offer from Vandy, I'd be paying around 153K in total whereas for Cornell, I'd be paying around 255K.

The value of an Ivy League education cannot be overstated. Plus on biglaw salary the extra $100k is only about an extra six months of work. Seems like an easy choice, friend!

I definitely want to live and practice in New York City at least for a few years after graduating before I move elsewhere.

the schools are so good at sizing you up and charging the highest they can. to me, you don't have an obvious choice. any way you could take on much less debt even if it's a much lower school? and is your goal a high-earning and high-spending life?

factor interest over 3 years (or over the life of your expected repayment if you want to get into that level of detail) into your calculation as well. 6% interest or whatever the going rate is on an extra 100k will tack on at least 10k to the cornell price tag.

Above you said 153k Vandy vs 255k for Cornell. How much of that is going to be paid for with loans?

If you want standard upper-middle-tier NY biglaw, go to Cornell. In part due to small class size, they have very good NY biglaw placement. Vandy leaves you with a higher chance of being SOL. Although, I graduated LS in the depths of ITE, so my views on these things are skewed.

Pre-ITE you could get NYC biglaw out of Vandy. Thankfully I'm out of that world and have no idea if that's still true.

Even though I rarely, if ever, encountered a Cornell law grad IRL, when I was looking at law schools the conventional wisdom was that they placed in NYC very well.

But winter in Ithaca would make me go for Vandy. That and high quality SEC cunnus. I spent law school in a cold place with terrible looking women and it was bleak.
