Worst 3 Things about each T14

[SuicideNixon]

Actually, although it's a minimal factor for me, I also find law review prestige to be interesting in comparing schools. At the very least, when the Faculty Guide that Penn sent me had professors who listed publication in the Michigan Law Review as a personal accomplishment, it made me take notice.

honestly it's simply a matter of advertising. there's little to no difference in prestige between Michigan and Penn Law Reviews for the authors. indeed there's little difference between Harvard and Michigan or Penn. this is sort of how there's a big difference between the average GULC student and the average Harvard student but little difference between the average Harvard professor and the average GULC professor.

for the students any difference in LR prestige is totally swallowed up by the school's prestige.

CLS:
1. The guy to your right got rejected by Yale and Harvard.
2. The girl to your left got rejected by Yale and Harvard and is ugly.
3. Everything costs about a billion dollars.

1. i am going to make a point of sitting to your left in every class, that way 1 is not true me.

2. of course 2 will be partly true for you, the only difference being that i'm not a girl.

3. still cheaper than nyu.

if this is as bad as it gets, i'll live.

actually it's pretty much like this

1. It's law school
2. It's law school
3. It's law school

that easily outweighs any 3 things you can think of about any of these schools

Nixon's LSN lists CLS as his #1 (waitlisted) & NYU as his #2 (Accepted). Gotta protect that ego somehow. 

meh, I think I am more than fair to Columbia. I think it's more prestigious. But the differences in clerkship placement is utterly insignificant. for comparison, Chicago has more than twice the number of SCOTUS clerks as Columbia with half the class size. what it comes down to is NYU: 1-2/year CLS: 1-2/year Michigan: 1-2/year UVa:1-2/year Boalt:0-1/year...I mean there's no real difference here. there are plenty of good reasons for choosing CLS over NYU. But two of the ones he's listed aren't good reasons. My mission here is to fight the heaping mound of BS that pre-laws feed to each other on this site.
