Northwestern vs. USC for Bay Area IP
Posted: Thu Apr 07, 2011 10:43 pm
Hi everyone, looks like it's down to NU and USC for me, both at sticker. I want to practice in the Bay Area, the assumption being IP since that is what my background fits best/what seems to be the market in SF-SV. Don't want to do prosecution, so IP lit/transactions is what I'm looking at. Also interested in in-house positions, but that is more of a five year plan.
I already have strong ties to the Bay Area (where I grew up/did my UG). Not really much in the way of legal connections, but maybe 1-off given connections in tech.
Pretty much, my question: is USC's location in CA > NU's rank?
Also, if anyone can make a comparison of their visits that would be helpful. I visited NU and really liked it, but it's looking like I won't be able to make it to USC's ASD next week.
Thanks for the help.
