Reviews, Visits, and Rankings / Re: Which Law School Has the Hottest Facebook Group Members« on: April 24, 2008, 08:52:24 PM »PICS, PLZ You're kidding right...I can't imagine anyone wanting their picture randomly posted on a discussion board. Here's a better idea...you to figure out how to navigate through facebook for yourself. 3
2L job search / Re: Big Law from UT« on: April 24, 2008, 06:49:49 PM »UT is very grade-inflated. 3.3 is median. 3.5ish top 25%. Captain salad...from your experience there. Are people getting TX biglaw in Houston or Dallas at the median at UT or do you have to be in the top 1/3 or top 1/4??? 4
Law School Applications / Re: If you could go back in time....« on: April 24, 2008, 03:54:31 PM »
On Mondays, Wednesday, and Fridays I've been leaning towards UT. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays Cornell definitely has the edge. (Vandy was in there, but in the last week I decided I'd rather be at UT over Vandy if I take the cheaper route.) 5

So far I'm going to have to say the UT Law 2011 group is the definite winner between the schools I have been considering...(there are some real hotties going to UT).

Law School Applications / If you could go back in time....« on: April 23, 2008, 07:51:58 PM »...what would you do diffent? ...what would be diffent? For me, what would I do different: 1. I would attend a crappier school, and get a 4.0+ 2. I would start Lsat prep shortly after high school so by the time I actually wrote the thing, I would have the concepts so ingrained that getting a 175ish would've been a likelihood rather than a diagnostic experience only. 3. I would have applied prior to Christmas...probably the first day in which apps could be sent, based on the results of others with similar numbers to mine. The result: I think I'd be deciding between Harvard and Chicago$ rather than Cornell and UT$. 7
Where should I go next fall? / Re: Cornell or Vandy or TX, What would you do???« on: April 22, 2008, 06:17:08 PM »
Thanks for all the responses everyone. I appreciate it.
As for my feelings towards the various schools, I really liked Texas and everyone was nice, but I felt like I was trying to make myself like it. I also got a sense that the bottom half of the class was struggling to find good jobs. As for Vandy, my main reason for attending there would be the financial situation I would be in when graduating. In comparison to Texas I thought Vandy was about the same. I wouldn't want to be at the bottom half of either though. They are both nice schools, and I could be happy at either. As for Cornell, I really liked it because it was sooo different, and I think it would expand my world view. In terms of prestige, am I mistaken in thinking that it is significantly more pretigious than the other two because of its Ivey League affiliation? I kind of get that sense after reading everyone else's posts. Also, I thought Cornell was one of those schools that if you just graduate (unless you are in the bottom 10% or something) you are likely to get a top paying job. Is this right or wrong? 8

Well, between Cornell and Texas then, which school will be better to be graduating from when I start applying in Houston? Wouldn't going to an Ivy League school give me an advantage over the hundreds of students coming from Texas? Cornell only send a few to that region each year, so isn't that better?

Where should I go next fall? / Re: Cornell or Vandy or TX, What would you do???« on: April 21, 2008, 11:32:44 PM »Here is my situation. I'm in at Cornell without money, Vandy with 60K, and TX with 21 + I'm in-state. Due to the scholarship, my savings, plus a very very cheap living situation in Nashville, if I take the Vandy offer I will graduate debt free with about 10K left in my bank account. If I go to TX, I will be about even or 10K in debt. After visiting all the schools Cornell is my first choice, but if I go to Cornell I'm going to be about 100K to 110K in debt when I graduate. 10

As for future plans, I want to live in Houston which is where I'm from, but I'm also open to living in Chicago as I have many relatives there. I have no ties to the NE and can not imagine living in that part of the country. So what should I do in your opinion? Is it worth it to go to Cornell??? Also, if I go there, what will my job opts be in Houston?
