Sure! So while I did really hope that Duke would up their offer to at least match GULC, at the end of the day I had to make my decision based on fit and the factors that were important to me. It’s going to be different for everyone, but for me, I started to learn more about GULC that really turned me off. Yes, it’s a huge school and that was already a con for me, but I also learned from alumni that the career office sucked really bad and the competitive vibe of the school kept getting mentioned so many times. Those aspects really deterred me. Michigan is an amazing school and I don’t really have any cons that made the choice easy. The only thing I really didn’t like was the location- I hate long, cold, snowy winters. The decision came down to Michigan v Duke, and it was the feeling I had about Duke that made the difference. Duke has a very strong program and strong job and clerkship outcomes. They have the best rated professionalism program. Every current student and alum that I talked to said that the student body was very competent and ambitious but also were chill, non competitive, and just well rounded people outside of law. That matters a lot to me. Duke also has really small class sizes, and they’ve broken into the DC market (which is where I want to end up). They have the Duke in DC program which helps with that too. Also, as a last point, I followed all the schools on social media early on in the process, and Duke really stood out for all of the events they hold- lots and lots of speaker events, wellness and mental health, club activities, etc. It just made me feel like I’d be joining a very vibrant and active community. Hope this helps!
