Hi all!

I need an advice... I've been admitted to Northwestern, Duke, Boston U and Georgetown.
I can't make up my mind... :-/

What's the best uni to study corporate law, especially M&A...?

Thanks in advance for your assistance!

Prob NW or BU

Definitely NU. You have professor Karl Lutz there.

In general NW is considered better for corporate law. I can't say much for Boston.
I would suggest you look at a few factors.

1. Reputation-reputation precedes other accomplishments, it is given a substantial weight and helps you get your foot in the door, that being said it does not mean that your accomplishments mean less and to be very honest leaving the top 4 HLS, Yale, SLS and Columbia, I would not feel that there is a huge reputational advantage of being in number 7 , 8 10, or 14. They are all prestigious institutions and well regarded locally and globally.
2. Course offering-this I consider a very critical factor in making a decision about a law school. Look at the entire range of course offerings that will help you structure your specialization and provide you with a wider focus. Individual star professors are not going to bring glory to your life and most times such classes are over booked and result in less personal attention and frankly to me it never mattered. I feel I really enjoyed attending classes with the lesser known professors and the subjects were really interesting. Look for more satisfying course selection.
3. Location-it's not only true for the hospitality industry and real estate but also for choosing a program, the opportunities, the life and the interaction. For e.g. NY or DC give you specific advantages, each have 16 major international firms headquartered there, they have more opportunities and easier access to intern during your LL.M. program. In DC at least law shops(law firms), Supreme Court, Tax courts, Federal Agencies SEC, WB, ADB, IMF, IFC so on and so forth can all found within a five mile radius which makes it easier to get to a place to be exposed to legal practice and back to school for study effortless. In specific cases you could be barely walking a block or two and be right on the doorstep of your cherished work place.
I hope this information helps!!
Best of luck in making your choice.
