UVA or George Mason

Hi everyone! I need some guidance on choosing between the two. I'm from D.C. and when applying to schools, I chose to only apply to schools around the VA/DC/MD area. After receiving all of my offers and narrowing it down to two, I'm still having a hard time deciding. I was admitted to UVA(#9) with no scholarship and George Mason (#41) with a full ride. I would like to stay in the D.C. area, but I am also very open to looking at jobs anywhere in the U.S. post-graduation. My biggest fear is the debt I will go into if I were to go to UVA. Does anyone know if I were to go into BigLaw, how long it would approximately take to pay off $180K in loans? Do you all think it's worth it? I don't know any lawyers or law students who I could ask that wouldn't have a biased opinion. Even with a biased opinion, I would just like to hear some real honest opinions. Thanks for the help!

Trouble distinguishing answer types

When answering questions on the logical reasoning section, I found myself having a difficult time distinguishing between common answer types. I feel as if my problem is that I don't know the clear cut distinction between these types. They are as follows:

  • It is cited as some evidence against/for a claim
  • It is cited as a direct contradiction of the claim
  • It is cited as a fact supporting the claim
  • It is an attempt to undermine the criticism cited against/for the claim
  • It is cited as a reason for the claim
  • Would someone be willing to help me out with this? Whenever I am doing a PT I often find myself delving into these answer stems for too long.

    Thank you!

    @12106 I know it was awhile back but was the second time you took it better than the first?
