LOL and for the record the only schools I would pick over Stanford are H and Y (or CLS with the Hamilton).

Re: T14 for West Coast (LA)
As someone whos worked in LA biglaw firms, and knows a few LA biglaw lawyers, i'm going have to lol at any suggestion that east coat t14s out place USC/UCLA. In my experience it goes:
Yale/Harvard
Stanford/Berkly
UCLA/USC
Rest of t14 based on local connections.
Fuck there are more Loyola grads in LA biglaw then cornell.

Re: T14 for West Coast (LA)
the reality is, out side of HYS, the t14 is mostly regional. Most kids from chicago/NU work in chicago, UVA in DC, and so on and so forth. People who venture outside their schools sphere of influence either have top grades or connections to that region. Thus i posit if you don't have connections to LA , but want to work there and can't guarantee top grades, go to USC/UCLA. If you want the bay area, go to Berkly or stanford.

Re: T14 for West Coast (LA)
same here, except if I was absolutely set on living in california for the rest of my life, I would definitely choose Stanford. People who aren't familiar with California don't really know how much praise it gets there. It's the Harvard of the west.kurama20 wrote:crackberry wrote:Haha thanks boiler.

Both have colors as their mascots. Lame sauce. Crimson sounds cooler than cardinal, though.

It may just be your firm, but I think Stanford should definitely be, at the very least, on that first line there..........Oban wrote:As someone whos worked in LA biglaw firms, and knows a few LA biglaw lawyers, i'm going have to lol at any suggestion that east coat t14s out place USC/UCLA.

It's almost okay if you miss one of the "e"'s, but not both. Good stuff, there.
And crack, please tell me more about Cal's miserable sports. Like how our wins over you in both basketball and football were just flukes. Or how you have had the axe once in the past how many years =)?

I think he certainly knew how to spell it, he was just using shorthand. I would like to think he is smarter than that.....
I'm asking because I don't know anyone who would place Berkeley on the same level as Stanford unless this person is from Berkeley.

Yes we suck at basketball this year, but we've been better at bball than Cal in the past decade as a whole. And yes, we suck in Big Game recently, I admit. But we were better than Cal this year.BioEBear2010 wrote:And crack, please tell me more about Cal's miserable sports. Like how our wins over you in both basketball and football were just flukes.

Cal is a Top 5 sports school. Too bad Stanford is Top 2 (and the best by some metrics).

If your definition of "good" means better than 5th in the nation, then you win this round. But then you imply that NYU, Berkeley, Chicago, etc. are not good schools =)crackberry wrote: My point was not that Cal is bad at sports, only that Stanford is better.

Haha gotcha. Nice back and forth we had there, though.
Anyway I'm heading to bed -- maybe this thread will get back on topic tomorrow (although I sincerely doubt it). Nite crack.
