No one can decide for you but if you are going to law school, think a lot 7 years of costs. Can you afford these and ultimately $700k if full pay.
Seems that both your pros and cons work for both. Have you visited both ?
What opportunities are less in Philly exactly? You’ll have more opportunities than you can imagine. And you are worried about the core - if you can’t make it there then you can’t make it a lot of places.
Now look at the end goal - law school. What will matter ? Your gpa. Your LSAT. Today more and more get work experience.
What likely (IMHO) won’t matter is if you go to Penn, Pitt or Pace. Columbia, Colorado or Central Connecticut State.
Harvard has 146 colleges represented in its first year class. UVA’s 315 first year come from 131 schools. Last year 300 from 133 schools. Penn’s overall law school class came from more than 200 schools and a first year class of 251 from 119 schools. 73% were out of school one plus years so work experience will matter.
I’d focus on - which is best for you - if any. If you truly can’t decide on a favorite, then perhaps ED isn’t for you.
And while many think you can’t get in non - ED, this simply isn’t true. Yes half+ of Penn enrollees are ED but then many in RD turn them down, so they have to admit a lot more and in fact they did, double the amount they accepted ED.
Finally, you say a lot of I hear. How about asking each to speak with a student ambassador or two. Or visit campus and stop kids on campus and talk to them.
Good luck.
