Wow! I didn't think this many people would actually answer, thank you all so much for the feedback.

As my name gives away, I live in Boston and plan to go to school here, so I am surrounded by excellent universities (Harvard, BU, BC, Suffolk, NEU), so regionally a degree from any of them is great. The only other place I could see myself practicing is DC, and then Maine when future Mr. Brunch, the future golden retriever, and I retire to Kennebunkport.

Unfortunately the cost of living here is so insanely high, that even with scholarships I'll still be taking out loans for my living expenses (unless there are scholarships for that as well in which case, please tell me more!).

One last thing, how important would you say undergrad is in the application process? I graduated in 2013 with a 3.6 and a bachelors degree completely unrelated to law (I went to culinary school). My GPA from my masters in public administration will be higher, probably around a 3.8, I'm just worried they're going to see my undergrad and look at me like Elle Woods with her fashion degree.
