Where should I go next fall? / Re: Cardozo 90k / W & L 45k / BU« on: March 25, 2008, 02:26:17 PM »I am a W&L troll, but my honest opinion would be that W&L=BU when it comes to job opportunities in the NYC area. Martindale lists 13 associates in NY from W&L Martindale lists 212 associates in NY from BU 22

Can W&L students opt-out of the new 3L cirriculum and take a regular 3L year?

Where should I go next fall? / Re: Entire Vanderbilt Employment Data with starting salaries« on: March 19, 2008, 06:17:22 PM »I think the list of job placements might be incorrect. For instance, I see the spreadsheet as listing 2 Vandy grads at Howry in DC. But on their website I don't see Howry as having any associates from Vanderbilt in their DC office. Perhaps I checked the Howry website incorrectly? Maybe they were already fired

Where should I go next fall? / Re: Help picking a school: Wake Forest vs. Georgia« on: March 18, 2008, 02:01:35 PM »
That's a big difference. If I read your OP correctly, it sounds like you would be happy in GA or in NC. It's seems that both schools do well in BigLaw within their respective state. I don't think there is enough of an employment difference between Wake and UGA to warrent paying an extra 60k for Wake. Unless Wake comes through with a money offer, I would say go to UGA. 26
Where should I go next fall? / Re: Help picking a school: Wake Forest vs. Georgia« on: March 18, 2008, 01:40:54 PM »So it is coming down to the big decision and was wondering if anyone could help me weigh the pros and cons of Wake and Georgia. For a little background, I would like to stay in the Southeast and do not have a strong preference between Atlanta or the cities in North Carolina. I am in state at Georgia and Wake has not offered any scholarships. I guess the big question is that in terms of opportunities after graduation, which school would position me better in their respective markets? Thanks for the help. What would the cost be to attend each school? 27
Where should I go next fall? / Re: W&L vs. U of Illinois (Want to work in NY)« on: March 18, 2008, 12:14:20 AM »titcr. Good point. It's also important to note that those 7 who end up in NY state might not all be in BigLaw or even in the private sector. The information available supports the idea that neither W&L or Illinois is a decent choice for NYC. 28
Where should I go next fall? / Re: W&L vs. U of Illinois (Want to work in NY)« on: March 17, 2008, 11:57:55 PM »titcr. LawFirmAddict had W&L sending 2 students in its entire class to NY BigLaw. That's about 1.5% of their class. Can you think of a better source than these two? Do you have some way of showing that W&L has good placement in NY? 29

Not a tough choice at all. Go to Yale

Where should I go next fall? / Re: W&L vs. U of Illinois (Want to work in NY)« on: March 17, 2008, 10:49:45 PM »titcr. I don't see how you could support the contention that W&L is placing "at least 10-20%" of its class in NYC BigLaw each year. If it placed 15% of its class in NYC, that would be 20 students. Martindale shows a total of only 13 associates in NYC who went W&L. it also looks like W&L is not much better than Illinois in terms of NYC placement- Illinois has 11 associates in NY. In truth, both schools are a really bad option for someone wanting NYC. |
