Where should I go next fall? / Re: Camden/Dickinson/Temple... SMU/Baylor/UH« on: January 25, 2008, 10:18:09 AM »
Hehe... ok, so maybe 300 miles... my point is that Tech does ok in Oklahoma, Ft Worth and Dallas... not so much in Houston, San Antonio, Austin, etc.

To the OP:
None of the schools you mentioned (Texas Tech, Temple, etc) carry much farther than a 100 mile radius of their locations. So, whether you are "sure" or not as to where you want to practice is irrelevant... you'll be forced to practice where you studied (unless you get REALLY lucky and land a career-changing job elsewhere), so I suggest you make peace with all of your choices, asking yourself, "Can I see myself practicing here?" As for the bar issue, there are crash courses available to get you ready for the bar in a different state, so that shouldn't be a huge concern of yours. 83

I've spoken to several attorneys in Dallas who prefer Baylor grads to SMU grads ESPECIALLY when it comes to litigation... At Baylor, you work your butt off for all 3 years (and get tons of real-world experience through Practice Court)... SMU is the typical tough 1L, then moderate 2 and 3L. Employers know this, and admire the work ethic of a Baylor grad moreso than SMU. Also, I have a friend who is a recent Baylor grad... She got a job before she graduated (top 25% class plus Law Review) AND she bills at a higher rate than the recent UT grad at her firm! (due mostly in part to her extensive Practice Court experience as I've already mentioned). Also, she said the UT grad (who was also top quarter in his class) is constantly coming to her for answers on various law questions... 84

If you guys had to choose between a private lower T1/upper T2 without money (i.e. graduating 100K+ in debt) and a full-ride to a T3 or T4, which would you choose?

Baylor is excellent for litigation... The firm I work for (in Dallas) hires Baylor grads over SMU grads... Something to think about... Also, I was accepted to the Fall class with similar numbers: 158/3.8, so you should definitely apply.

(nevermind the fact that I have much to gain by talking accepted students who are currently filling MY seat out of going...  )

Hey, wait... isn't the OP the same guy who posts on JD Underground about the lack of employment for law grads? Hmmm... I think he spends more time complaining about his miserable life than being proactive to change it. Life is what you make of it, buddy. 90
