my uncle hubert told me in february that the decision of where to attend law school would be a difficult decision for anyone. he could not have been more on point: i now have my master list of schools i've paid seat deposits for fall matriculation -- boston college, georgetown, st. john's university, cardozo school of law.
there's no right answer of where to go to school. no matter what you may think of us news' law school rankings, each of these schools has a number of distinct, personal pros and cons.
st. john's university -- the pros are the NYC location, the strong regional reputation, the alumni network, and the fact that i'm a full scholarship recipient. the cons are that st. john's is located in jamaica queens and that there's a broad mix of students and faculty of high merit and mediocrity.
boston college -- the pros are the strong national reputation, the alumni network, and the strong academic program. the cons are that i would have to be in boston for 3 yrs and that i only got a partial scholarship.
georgetown -- the pros are the strong national reputation, the alumni network, and the strong academic program. the cons are that i would be in DC for 3 yrs and i got no scholarship monies, homey.
cardozo -- the pros are the NYC location, the strong academic program in IP law, and the fact that i'm a full scholarship recipient. the only con i have is that i haven't seen as many cardozo grads as partners or even associates at big law firms in my research.
so while i already know that i'm going to excel no matter where i end up, and i do recogize that i'm very blessed to have a lot of choices and options, i'm still undecided as to where i'm gonna be in the fall....
