Law School Discussion

From what I've heard (though I don't really believe it):

Cornell = bottom ivy = inferiority complex = competition
GULC = huge class + nation's capitol = bieng anonymous + desparate desire for clerkships, etc. = competition
Harvard = huge class = anonymous = competition

Actually, at Cornell it's not that competitive because it's so damn small and everyone knows each other. But it seems like people work a lot harder there. And even if you graduate at the bottom of your class at Harvard you can still get an amazing job so I doubt they'd be that competitive either, though as a deferee I really don't know.

Columbia Law is definitely competitive, as well as Georgetown Law; Columbia's competitiveness isn't cutthroat per se... but it is intensely competitive.

Law School's in general are competitive, besides Yale Law... they have a pass/fail system so the desire to be Number One is virtually nonexistent.

Noted.

Believe me, I will take it easy in college.  I will work hard, and play hard; I'll have my share of fun!  Don't worry guys! 

Thanks

NYCK, where are you going to UG?

I do not know yet; I am still waiting for the acceptance/rejection letters from all the UG institutions.

I applied to about 16 schools in total, I only heard from two (Syracuse University, and Boston College) for now.  I was accepted to Syracuse and rejected by BC.

There...that's a little more fair!

You are the individual who stands above the rest in the image.

Law Schools in California (particularly Stanford and UC-Berkley) and schools in NYC (Columbia Law, and the nearby Yale LS and HLS).  They are all great schools with similar tuition costs.  I wouldn't mind living in New York City or California.  I can't decide on a criterion to filter my list.
