<p>I have a full ride, honors, and fellows acceptance to UNCW but I know UNC is by far the better school academically and has the name recognition. I want to attend a top tier law school after college and am having a hard time deciding which school would better prepare me and give me the best chance of acceptance to a law school like UVA or Duke. </p>
<p>How much would UNC cost you? Is it within budget for your parents?</p>
<p>It would probably end up around 100k to go to UNC. If money wasn’t an issue, I would just go UNC. My parents can afford it, but then would not have any money to give me for law school, whereas if I went to UNCW my parents would have 100k to give me to pay for law school. </p>
<p>UNCW for undergrad, UNC-CH for law school</p>
<p>If you’re sure you’ll be going to law school, then you really to think whether you’d rather go to a more prestigious undergrad college then take on lots of debt or be limited financially for law school, OR attend a less prestigious college but be guaranteed to have your costs covered at whatever law school you get into. (Check with your parents that’s the deal: they’ll pay for the law school you get into.)
UNCW is FAR from a bad university, it’s #2 in the UNC system and its honors college is pretty good, but the location is hard to beat.</p>
