At the end of this long process, I have decided to attend Colorado Law. I am making a decision with an SO who is also applying to grad school, and Colorado works best for us. Additionally, I am seeking to do environmental law particularly in the Western US. Colorado's scholarship was nice (full/15/15 + summer funding) but it was hard to turn down full tuition offers from Arizona and Emory. I hope all this info helps others in your processes, this year and future years!

I think right now its (1) Colorado (2) Arizona (3) Emory For me, my priorities are choosing a place that works for my SO, not accruing a lot of debt, and being able to work in environmental law out in the West.
