Am I being wise or just frugal?

<p>I assume you mean that they will pay for law school on that condition? You can have a wonderful experience at Davis even if your grades fall a little short of post-grad expectations … and you may even find that your plans change after you start college. Mine sure did. </p>

<p>I think you will do well and find that Davis offers a lot of opportunities as well as a lot more flexibility in many respects along the way.</p>

<p>Ha, we are an engi-nerd family. THe “T14” meant nada to me. In case other are also unfamiliar with the term, it seems to mean the top 14 law schools…NYU shows #6 in this list -

<p>OP - Good luck to you!</p>

<p>UC Davis is a good school. I’m glad to hear that you’ll be attending.</p>

<p>Good decision, UC Davis over NYU, given the totality of circumstances.</p>

<p>I’m a native New Yorker. Visit NYC, even go to law school here–but go to Davis for your undergrad degree. </p>

<p>Better value in an iffy economy (I’m sure Cali will still be there in 4 years) and better weather.</p>

<p>Oh, I see that you’ve decided–good choice!</p>

<p>I attended law school 10 years ago at Northwestern. Students with undergrad from NYU didn’t come in with greater prestige than the better UC schools (Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD and Davis.)</p>

<p>Save the money. If you’re sure you’re going to law school, then all that will matter is your GPA and LSAT score. It MAY be easier to get a 4.0 at UC-Davis, and regardless, Law school is expensive and where you go there will matter FAR more than your undergrad.</p>

<p>Too late to the thread; my bad.</p>

<p>Good choice OP.</p>
