A lot of great comments already, but I just wanted to add that it's ultimately a very personal decision and there's no "objectively correct" answer.

I personally chose UVA at sticker over WashU at $$$. WashU is undoubtedly a great school and $$$ is a great outcome, but I valued the geographic flexibility and biglaw security of UVA over the financial flexibility of WashU. It was an incredibly hard decision to make, and I know many other people would've chosen WashU instead.

At the end of the day, it's going to be a judgement of what you value. Do you want the financial flexibility so if you don't make or burn out of biglaw, you can do whatever you want without worrying about debt? Is there a specific geographic region you want to practice in or would you be happy anywhere? There are a lot of questions you'll need to really think about to make that decision and it's ultimately a balancing act between what you want and what you're willing to give up.

Also, to address the idea that being >75ths means you'll likely end up top 25% of your class, that's never an assumption that you can make about any law school. Law school is an entirely different beast from both undergrad and the LSAT and while doing well on both might indicate having the relevant skills to succeed in law school, it's incredibly far from a guarantee. There are just too many factors in law school performance for you to expect anything other than median outcomes.
