Wow, thanks soo much already!
I was originally considering only Maryland. Now thanks to you, Chicago-Kent is a serious concern, too. Ahhh, more headaches!! Thanx plex for encouragement.
Mgrignan, I can't consider PT right now.
(As you might have guessed, I'm a foreigner--or an 'alien,' as some scary people say. I have to be FT).
That said, landing a secure job is my top priority. I do hope I can rock at 1L, but it's just a wishful dream, isn't it?
Btw, would you agree with El_Che about more T14 competition in DC? I heard something similar too. Also some say Maryland is quite local compared to, say, American.
