Scripps and Case are excellent schools. On what are they basing their “line in the sand” financial limit?

honestly, i heard that name matters slightly for med school, but i’ve never cared much about that (nyu is a t10 law school ik that for a fact, and i’ve been interested in policy to an extent so i thought maybe i would have more avenues to explore). i’ve loved penn state since middle school, and i’m so glad i heard back earlier so i have a school so close to my heart that i will have in my back pocket and be happy about regardless of other decisions.
i was going to visit my top choices after i heard back from everywhere - i’ve never had to worry about money, but my parents and i are both quite busy and i don’t think i would have time before decisions.
i applied to very very large schools and very very small schools - i’m not sure what i want just yet. it feels like i’ve always been jealous of everyone at the huge football stadiums with a bajillion frats, but a small class size is so appealing to me as a student that i’m just not quite certain. anyway, i’ve submitted all but usc and wellesley (saving wellesley for ed 2)
so we shall see!

i’m honestly not quite sure. scripps and case western are definitely tops if i get in, and my parents love them both as well. comparatively, they’re not a big fan of fordham due to its alumni network (although i have no interest in bringing politics to this website) and boston college also because they don’t want me to go to a particularly religious school.
i mostly think it’s their personal opinion on the school though - my take on it is that we will visit it after i’ve heard back from everywhere. so we shall see!
Nope
If you want to go to law school, where you go undergrad is irrelevant. Look at Penn, they are represented by over 200 colleges. Harvard is represented by 147 colleges in its not very big first year program. UVA similar - so whether you go to Barnard, Brandeis, or Buffalo - your GPA, LSAT and moreso today work experience will be what matters.
I hope you get a chance to explore once you get your acceptances - so that you find the right kind of school.
Of course, if you get into Barnard, you won’t have any exploring to do.
Whether you go to law (3 years) or medicine (4 years), you have to pay for that too.
But the where you go, in my opinion, will have zero impact on admissions for those programs.
How you do - inside and outside the classroom - will.
Best of luck in whatever you decide.
