Standford>>Berkeley>UCLA>USC>UC Davis>>Hastings
but seriously, most people are impressed with law school in generally. I was at a party and we were all having a discussion and this one guy was like "Yeah I go to Golden Gate Law School" and these girls were like "woah really!!!"...so sad

Well, buy a t-shirt and claim that you go to the said school. It's not THAT hard, but very sleazy. I've never done it, but lately I've been fascinated with lying. I watched Catch me if you can the other night.

Re: What is the most (lay) prestigious school in your area?
In SoCal (San Diego) Harvard/Stanford>USC/UCLA/Berkeley/Georgetown>Rest of T-14>USD/Loyola/Pepperdine
This list seems a bit weird, but it seems to me this is the overall lay view of law schools in this region.
This is even kind of funny: I was talking to my parents about which law schools and I said, "And I'm not even going to consider applying to Yale." They're like, "Why would you apply there?" (as if it's not that good of a school haha).

Hmm I don't even think most people, other than those who went to law school or know people who did, know all the T-14 as good schools (for example UVA) other than the Ivies, of course.

Most lay prestige here, in the middle of Central Pennsylvania?
Dickinson could be ranked dead last in the world, and you'd still be the talk of the town if someone heard you went to LS at Penn State.
Lots of people around here have never even heard of University of Chicago or WUSTL or anything that isn't an Ivy and doesn't have a D1 football program

haha no, they assumed it's not that great of a school. They think/thought of it as some fancy-pancy school on the East Coast.quixotical wrote:Or because they assumed it would be a waste of your $ to applyHorchata wrote:In SoCal (San Diego) Harvard/Stanford>USC/UCLA/Berkeley/Georgetown>Rest of T-14>USD/Loyola/Pepperdine

USD is known for being expensive, not prestigious. Everyone who knows someone at Cal Western just thinks it's a good school bc they think the person they know is smart, not that the school itself holds any weight with regards to other law schools.

LA is a bit of a strange case; from non-law people I've met, that's the consensus. Other prestigious schools like UChi or GT get mentioned around Columbia's spot you remind them those schools exist. Of course, lay prestige means jack squat. Non-existent law schools like Princeton get mentioned before Penn for goodness sake.

Re: What is the most (lay) prestigious school in your area?
I was referring to undergrad schools, but lay law school prestige probably follows roughly the same progression (excluding UNC). Most, if not all, lay people in NC would tell you, for example, that Duke Law >>> NYU/Michigan.CanadianWolf wrote:TheFactor: Are you referring to law schools or undergraduate schools ?

Re: What is the most (lay) prestigious school in your area?
Interesting to see Julliard. Growing up, Julliard was mentioned more often than Harvard, Yale or any other Ivies. The order would be Notre Dame, then Julliard & then the state flagship university in the area where I was raised.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
