Additional info & updates

Any thoughts on Pace vs. NYLS?
The scholarship requirements for Pace are that I maintain a 3.0, and NYLS a 3.35. I heard some bad things about NYLS, and that it is really hard to maintain a scholarship there because of the curve, but I guess I am more inclined to choose being in NYC versus White Plains (although the COL is obviously higher in NYC...) Pace's tuition is lower and based on that and the COL my savings would be higher, but it is ranked lower than NYLS and it is in Westchester County, not the city. From other online law school forums I have heard that even though they are ranked lower, Pace has a better reputation in the NYC area...I know lawyers working both in White Plains and NYC who have incredibly different opinions on this though.

That being said, if I get into Fordham I will go there, even without scholarship money (I am not expecting it based on my numbers...just hoping for an acceptance!)

I appreciate your thoughts and input! Thanks!
