<p>Hi,</p>

<p>The two schools in the title are the ones I am highly debating between. Right now, I have plans of being either a lawyer or dentist, and I was wondering whether UT or Washington would be better for either. I visited UW, and although I liked it a lot when I went there, I just have this really weird feeling that I'm not going to enjoy it there (I think its because theie sports teams are absolute trash). UT has better weather, and from what I hear, a better national reputation, but my parents somehow have the impression that UT-Austin is a useless school (I think the stereotype of texans is playing a role there). How can I convince them that UT is better, especially since I think I would like it better there?</p>

<p>UT has a top law school and you may gain residency if you attend UT for undergrad, increasing your chances of admission there. UT and Washington are very similar academically, but UT has better recognition due to its strengths in just about everything (engineering, law, business, etc.) Your parents are completely wrong.</p>

<p>UT and UW are ranked pretty close in the US News and World Report rankings and like Brand_182 said, UT has a top 20 law school.</p>
