Law School

First of all, congratulations. Those are three great schools to get into, and storm or no storm, $25k from Tulane is a big deal.

When I had to make this decision a few years ago, the lawyers I talked to gave me advice similar to what JE's posted. That info was very helpful and, in my experience at least, has proven extremely accurate.

One thing I'll add: Don't be afraid to let the schools know about your other offers. Now that you've been accepted, the script is flipped and they're competing for you. I'm not telling you to start playing games with their admissions office, but letting them know the cost difference between their school and a comparable program can get you a significant bump in scholarship money, which gives you a lot more flexibility when you graduate.

If they don't increase their offer right away, many schools will give you a pretty nice bump after the first round of seat deposits. Once they know they've got a certain amount of money freed up from students who've declined their offer, schools put a good bit of that toward locking up students who paid the first seat deposit but are still mulling their options.
