Vanderbilt vs. State School??

Unless you are talking about Stanford or Yale, the only things that matter for law school admission are GPA and LSAT score.

In that respect there is a potential disadvantage of GT, as it is considered harder than most colleges for attaining a high GPA.

If your interests are biology and economics, I’m surprised you chose GT rather than UGA as your in-state option.

Did your folks run the NPC at Vandy for two kids in college? Their second/third/fourth year cost might end up being less than GT; generally their financial aid is excellent.

They’re different environments, but I put GTech and Vandy on the same tier.

Agree that law school comes down almost solely to LSAT and GPA these days outside YLS and SLS.

GTech is tough, but the LSAT matters more than GPA for law school.

For Wall Street, Vandy is only slightly better. Personally, I would not take on $80K more in debt for Vandy.
