I am not here to debate which law school is better. Honestly, I will go neither one of them if I had to pay my own money.
But in terms of market, both schools are relying on out of town legal market which is a killer for foreign students. Next time, please try applying big city law schools if you want to apply schools out of T-20
The University of IOWA ranks 21 , Does this matter much if it's ranking out of T-20?
OMG. I think in terms of money, the better the school, the easier to pay off the loan. Average time to pay off debt in Berkeley is one and a half year. For the long run, the worse the school, the more money problem you will have. (I hope I will get to BU.) Boston is a real nice place to live.
