Between NYU, Columbia and Georgetown, which program do you consider the best for international law, focused on human rights? I am interested in the university that can offer more resources to land a job after graduation. In my case, I am involved in human rights litigation in the Inter-American Human Rights System, with an emphasis on sexual and reproductive rights and climate change.
Additional issues: Georgetown gave me the most scholarship and I would pursue the health law program. In NYC I have already lived so many of my friends live there.
Everyone I have talked to has persuaded me that all three universities are amazing, so I feel that this decision is quite arbitrary.

I believe that NYU would be an excellent fit. I have similar interests and chose NYU over Columbia. Even though law school ranking is not the most important thing, NYU is ranked no. 1 in IL in the US (acc. to US News & World Report). They have amazing professors in the fields of human rights (e.g. Prof. Alston) and Climate Change (Prof. Rudyk). As far as I know, Prof. Rudyk is also involved in the ICJ AO on Climate Change. And NYU has good post-graduation offers, e.g. the ICJ and the Human Rights Fellowships. However, I don't know a lot about what CLS and Georgetown offer in this regard. And of course, there are also other important factors to consider like your financial situation.
