SLU or SMU? (Political Science/Economics)

Hi guys,

So I’m accepted to Southern Methodist University and Saint Louis University and having trouble picking between them.
I’m from St. Louis area so SLU would be closer to home, but I definitely wouldn’t mind going out of state as well since I’m fairly independent.

I want to double major in Political Science and Economics and possibly go into law school later on. Ideally, I would end up in an Ivy League law school so I want a undergrad program that prepares me for that.

Looking at tuition, with my merit scholarships and aid, SLU would be around $11,000 per year while SMU is coming in to $19,000 per year. Would the extra cost be worth it or is that unrealistic?

Any input or advice is enouraged since I’m going to be making a decision in the coming weeks!
