I am admitted to attend Pace Law this fall and received about half tuition scholarship. I am still on the waitlist at Hofstra and have a professor friend of mine (who did his LLM at Pace) tell me that if I get into Hofstra that I should go there, also the firm I work for has hired from Hofstra. I worked all through my undergrad and am still paying off my loans so it is very hard for me to imagine giving up free money. I know I will get an answer from Hofstra any day now and that I will have to decide rather quickly so I need to know my answer. The difference in tuition and without my scholarship would be $109,000 over 3 years ... a huge chunk of change. I am interested in criminal defense and want to get as much hands on experience as possible.

Maybe wait the next cycle kill the LSAT and go to Hofstra
Neither school is in the top 100, so as long as you do well, you will be fine. I would say, never sign up for debt you don't know you can pay off. Agreed with @agc438203 , you need to make the smartest decision for your life and future.
Do be cautious, though, Pace has a greater than 30% scholarship reduction/elimination rate (based on 2017-2019), though I am not sure were their curve lies. Good luck with your decision and congrats!
It's not like Hofstra is a T14, and even then price should be the highest consideration if you're in debt. I would go with the cheaper option honestly.
