Struggling to decide between the two. Difference of cost of attendance is around 50k. Any thoughts?
Columbia (Sticker) vs UVA (Dean scholarship)?

What is the point of this, Isabel? alleviating the burden of having been wait listed?
You have just posted on another thread: "No LLM is worth entering into debt. Full stop. It is hard to find jobs with LLm degree in the US. Most firms prefer JDs and only hire LLMs if they have a skill or experience that make them desirable for US firms. Most LLMs go back to their country. Some succeed due to their own connections. While it is true that the cachet of a Columbia LLM is significantly higher than Michigans, it is not worth the debt in my opinion. Michigan is a very reputable university within the US. Also bear in mind that Chicago market doesnt offer too many opportunities to internationals".
I think you have answered your doubt yourself.

Lmao…who are you if I may ask? Completely different scenarios. First, i dont need debt do attend. Secondly, I am comparing two top 10, arguably top 6 schools. One at full price and other with almost a full ride.
Appreciate if you have helpful advice. If not, then keep it to yourself
Best
