How to choose a school?


Stessi

I am so confused right now, I got offers of admission from NYUSL, Penn law, University of Chicago and Vanderbilt university. So now I am facing a tough choice... Vandy law offered me a merit scholarship, which indeed sounds very good, but the other schools have higher rankings.
I just wonder how big is actually the difference between #4 and #17 in US news rankings.

Any ideas what I should consider when choosing? It is so difficult to make a decision when you're across the ocean and have quite a faint idea about the schools you applied to.
I will really appreciate if somebody can share their ideas on the subjects.

I am a current LLM student at Vanderbilt. I was also admitted to several very interesting law schools.

If any admitted student would like to know more about the program at Vanderbilt (or life in Nashville etc.): please send me a private message: I would be pleased to give you my "inside" opinion.

Well, I made my decision already and it was in favour of Vandy law. The admission committee indeed does a lot to make everybody welcome and I should say that it was among the factors that helped me make up my mind and choose Vanderbilt Law school.
