Hi,

I have been admitted to Georgetown, Northwestern and Vanderbilt. I have received a lucrative scholarship of 25K from Vanderbilt but yet to hear from Georgetown and Northwestern on scholarship. I will be on a student visa and would like to seek employment in US for a long term (more than 10 years).

What would be the suitable choice?

Any of those schools would be a good choice for Corporate Law. I would personally go with Vanderbilt first, Northwestern second and GT third

Can you please elaborate on what basis have you arrived at this order? The reason I ask you this is because my current preference is NU, Georgetown and then Vanderbilt. This is mainly because I believe employment opportunities will be better in big cities.

A number of factors, the most important to me being cost and potential for employment. Vandy Corporate program is highly regarded. Plus its bar passage rates was better than the others. Northwestern does have very strong business and economics linkages. Georgetown is a very good school and offers great employment opportunities, but is very expensive and living in DC is expensive.
Very unscientific, I know.
