Rice vs Emory vs UVA vs Berkeley

Based on friends’ experiences at Cal, I think it’s a great place for grad (not tippy top for law, though) but kind of diffuse and unsupportive for undergrad. All my friends who went to UVA attended as Echols scholars and I’m not sure how that affected their experience other than being able to leapfrog over prerequisites and take 300 or 400 level courses first year. Sounds like the schools that gave you the most money will offer the best experiences and probably the best outcome for graduate admission (provided your achievements and LSAT scores are in the range T14 schools want), so lucky you!
