Current Law Students / Seattle and its 2 schools...
« on: February 23, 2007, 02:46:16 PM »
I keep hearing conflicting information about employment in Seattle. Half the time I hear Seattle University is well respected and places well. The other half of the time I hear that University of Washington is the only place to be.
USNWR Employment stats put SU grads at only about 60% employment at grad but 99+ at 6 months or so. UW is much higher, starting in the 90's. However salary ranges for both schools are about the same.
I read it this way. If you are in the top half or so of your class at SU you'll probably be fine, but lower you'll be screwed. However once you land the job you're about equal.
I am asking all this because I got dinged at UW and I am trying to decide whether SU is worth my time or if I should just move to Seattle and try again next year.
Thanks for any and all help.
