Son is in law school. It does not matter if you go to Pitt or Geneseo to be admitted to grad school. </p>
<p>Law school admissions look at LSAT (Law school entrance exam) and GPA. Everything else is minor. IVY vs Pitt or SUNY… the Ivy may give you an edge. SUNY vs Pitt, no difference whatsoever.</p>
<p>Do not take out any more loans than you must. Depending on your college GPA and LSAT, you may get a fair scholarship to some law schools and good scholarship to lesser tier law school. Either way, it sounds likely that you will need more loans. </p>
<p>(Your plan to work a year after college to pay off some loans is not a bad idea at all. After taxes, you will need gas money, spending money, healthcare, car insurance… It will likely be harder than you think to save as much as you’d like to. </p>
<p>Geneseo is a great school. Maybe not exciting sports or town, but once you make friends,(anywhere you attend college) you will be happy.</p>
<p>(By the way, my current Buffalo son picked UB over 15 schools he was accepted to. Great program and cost effective. Very happy there!!)</p>
<p>Good luck.</p>
