With the results been released, now its time to make the decision, but I am have to choose between 2 of the top 10 (Chicago/NY) or a top 20 (California) with scholarship. Considering that money will always be a crucial aspect, and it is a great recognition (which would be nice in my CV), think that the scholarship is very tempting. I would be glad to hear some thoughts about it. Thanks!
SoCal or East Coast?

Alp78, much depends on what you exactly intending to specialise in. Sunny california always temp people and if you have financial aid to pursue that then awesome.

Thanks Lexnex for your thoughts. I am focusing in business/corporate, in which I've been working for 5 years.
This decision is not easy, in one hand a good program in a awesome place with financial aid, in the other, two great cities, renowned programs (and high costs)... I dont know if rank is everything... What do you think?

Alp78, If you looking for business/corporate concentration then NYU appears to be best choice among these three Univ of Chicago and UCLA. I am not sure which school you talking about in SoCal, if not UCLA then definately NYU from the placement aspect because most law firms have main offices in the New York and they hire a good chunk of LLM grads too. I am not sure about Chicago programs, heard they have just two specialisations, General LLM and Comparative Law, correct me if I am wrong.
Good luck
