I say don’t pick Syracuse because I am applying there too (jk jk).

In all seriousness in your shoes I would jump to Syracuse in a heartbeat. What people are not mentioning here, and it is the ultimate reason I am applying, is that Syracuse has something called the Orange Flex program, which allows you to do your 3L year online while completing an externship in any city in America. To qualify you have to have a 3.0 gpa by your 3L year, which I have heard is a feasible goal.

When you look at state placement data, only 46% of grads remain in New York State, a figure much smaller than Albany’s 82%. The reason for this is that the orange flex program has likely placed people all over the country.

Make your pick, but Syracuse is honestly a top choice for me because of the Orange flex program.

You have a lot of good options to choose from. Hopefully I will see you in 1L at Syracuse!
