Southern U. Law Center or New England Law Boston???? PLEASE HELP!

[nstr]

Greetings everyone!!!

I have recently been accepted to both the Southern University Law Center and New England Law Boston. I am at a loss on which one to pick that will be best for me being a minority and a female. Taking a year off to apply somewhere else is not an option and money is no issue. I've been doing research but I  am still at a loss. Please help me out with some information and opinions to help me make my choice! Help!!!

The answer is pretty simple, really.

Would you rather work in Louisiana or Massachusetts, and what would you like to do with your JD?

SULC Stats:  (http://www.lawschooltransparency.com/clearinghouse/?school=southern)
33.3% are working in small firms (2-10 attorneys);
20.4% are either unemployed or solo; and
17.4% are working for the (mostly state) government.

NESL Stats:  (http://www.lawschooltransparency.com/clearinghouse/?school=newengland)
At least 20.5% are working in small firms (2-10 attorneys);
At least 20.5% are working in "Business or Industry" (i.e., returned to jobs they were in before going to law school)
At least 18.2% are unemployed or solo; and
At least 8.2% are working for the government.

I understand that you stated that "money is no issue", but, with all due respect , if you're acting rationally, money should always be an issue, no matter how much you have.  Did you get a scholarship, or are you eligible for in-state tuition, at either of the schools?

Good luck.  You'll need it!

Thank you so much for your help. Comparing the numbers you provided are a big help. When I stated that money was no issue it was only because I've received full rides at both

Not to bust your bubble, but you should still compare the cost of each school. You might not perform well enough to keep your scholarship beyond the first year.
