Where should I go next fall? / Re: Attend the best school you are accepted to!

IMHO (and I do the hiring of attorneys for a small firm), being in the bottom 50% of your class at Harvard = top 10 in your class at most first tier schools. If you do really well in school, it doesnn't matter where you go.
Case in point. My friend Paul. Graduated #3 in his class at Marquette and worked 3 years out at a very big, very prestigious firm in DC making $130K a year. (He ended up quitting to go to work at the US attorneys office)
If you are a slacker, then take the best school you can get. I plan on going to Wisconsin and doing well. I think I will be fine.
