Penn State Dickinson vs Akron
I was recently admitted to Penn State Dickinson (University Park) with the Keystone Scholars Grant for $20k/year, renewable as long as I remain in good academic standing and comply with the honor code. I was also admitted to Akron with a $15k/year scholarship under similar conditions.
Even with the larger scholarship at Dickinson, the difference in tuition alone would be almost $87k more over three years compared to Akron.
I know Dickinson is ranked significantly higher and seems to have a stronger employment outcome, but I’m struggling to decide whether that difference is really worth taking on nearly $87k more debt.
I’m from PA and want to practice in PA. However, I’m unsure on what type of law I want to get into.
154 LSAT 3.88 GPA if anyone was curious
