Down in a similar range to DP, I had been wondering if the W&L c/o 21 FB group being significantly smaller than previous groups (and well under their class sizes) was signal or noise. We've had no direct communication on the class size. At their Priority Waitlist event, Emory seemed convinced they w...

When are you going to do the "Oh so that's Biglaw, how do I get out of it?" thread? Navigating the second job search (legal recruiters, timing, conflict considerations, new market and bar applications/reciprocity concerns, etc.) sounds like a pretty awesome topic for someone who has lateraled. Yeah...

Thank you everyone for your thoughtful responses! These outside opinions are helping me to confirm that I have OK options with my current score but if I want great options I need a great score! Retake, here I come. To emphasize law's point, this cycle saw a non-AA URM score $150K from GULC with a 2...

To emphasize law's point, this cycle saw a non-AA URM score $150K from GULC with a 2.9/168. The retake is definitely the play, here, even if you stand a chance at getting reasonable money from a top 40 school right now.

If you want biglaw, absolutely keep trying for that 170+ and the t13. There are still likely to be some options even with your current numbers. Here are the non-URM numbers for similar applicants over the past five cycles: http://myLSN.info/l6s1ji_1-40.jpg But keep in mind that schools become increa...

Thanks a lot! Yeah I think the amount of scholarship washU gave me is really what makes me stuggle right now. It’s pretty tempting to pay less in general lol. Do you mind elaborating more on “UCLA is more prone to underemployment”? It's a metric LST uses that examines the combination of folks who d...

So, if I'm reading this right, and the cost to you, personally, is zero for either of these, then we're in a direct employment outcomes comparison. The biglaw+FC numbers are basically a wash, though they're a bit more predictable at UCLA (and as Smokey will likely point out, a larger portion of the ...

Further, they also promised to send an update in the "unlikely event" that something changed and they no longer anticipated taking the majority of pwl applicants. Haven't received a peep from them. Funny, in spite of having withdrawn, I received an email this week that they expected movement soon. ...

So, with five figures of debt, and the family relocation Rubicon already crossed, I don't see Washington as a bad option, here. It's very similar to the situation I'm putting myself into at W&L (though with lower debt, so congrats). Seattle seems to close the employment gap some at 10 months after g...

I could give you my anecdata, but I think mylsn is more helpful: http://myLSN.info/3lc1hs_1-23.jpg Part of the reason I was searching for anecdotal evidence is that there has been something of a shift this year. Behold: http://myLSN.info/6klbwi_1-40.jpg Traditionally friendly schools lie Alabama an...

Checking in. Welcome! What stage of the law school process are you at? I just finished 1L. Didn't realize this was in the application process forum. Not to worry. I suspect, like the Veterans thread, that this can continue with conversation between old farts at various stages. We certainly have had...

Can you break down likely loan amounts? With a working spouse in support, I feel like this is a more relevant figure. Maybe that plus the hit to savings.

Checking in.

Welcome! What stage of the law school process are you at?

Where are you looking to transfer? Where do you want to work after school?

Just a friendly reminder about not posting too much detail about questions/games/etc.

although i stand by my predictions, anyone who is settling for a match without a full boneus is a traitor Hokay let's calm down with the TLS style gang mentality. Indeed. If a firm is on shakier ground, and the partners deem that paying the boneus means they'll find a way to cut associates, while t...

See the stickied guide in this subforum. The most important thing you can do right now is get good grades in undergrad. And maybe take a logic course or two as electives.

Are y'all gonna use this as a waiters thread? If so, good luck to all the June waiters. I hope you all get what you need.

Can we make a separate waiters thread?

We usually did on TLS, but y'all are free to wait however you want. I just remember my waiters thread was fun.

Thanks. They hadn't updated their table of matching firms when I went to look at that.

Edit: And still haven't.

Use your mod powers and merge the two threads.

I got an error about having more than max user connections just now. I think the number it gave was 1203.

The reason the answer is "retake" is that New York and Boston aren't on your list of target markets. The price is a little high, but the poor fit between BU's placement and your goals is the killer, here.
