UVA is a better school. But you'll pay to play. Gotta decide if what UVA provides is worth it for you. If you're going to leave biglaw after 3 years, it might not be worth it. That is just paying a lot to make a lot to pay a lot of loans etc.

Do you have an estimate of what your total out of pocket cost of attendance would be? Are you paying for COL with loans or savings? That could have an effect, and of course COL varies by school.
