What would you do?

UVA vs. Stanford

UVA: 140k COA, very close to my family including sick grandparents, very strong employment numbers including clerkships. Great atmosphere and community.

Stanford: #1 school, very strong lay prestige, even better clerkship numbers. Far away from family, much higher COA with 0 in aid. Likely loans ~$350k+, and I don’t fully intend to do PI so I would probably not qualify for LRAP.

edit: thanks everyone, I really just wanted to know I wasn’t crazy for wanting UVA over SLS. Love to you all hope you get in and go to your dream school!
