WWYD: temple $$$$ vs Emory $$

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Goals: as of rn w would love to start out in big law (at least midlaw) and then maybe eventually pivot to criminal or pi. Would love to eventually end up in northeast, but I could see myself really starting out anywhere.

I really liked both schools and cities, and have been going back and forth. Looking at Emory’s degree portability, big law numbers, Iand overall vibe/culture, I ’m leaning there but am afraid of taking out big loans (don’t have a lot of saved or much family help). Not sure if it is worth the risk if I don’t end up near top of my class.

At same time I’m afraid that I would regret not going to better school and what could have happened.

I genuinely like Philly and temples offerings, and the idea of graduating w little debt is so attractive as well so I’m torn!!

Thank you!!!!!!
