Re: CLS v NYU
Do ppl think NYU and CLS will be easier to get into bc of a potential app decline this year?
Or will the app decline be a figment of my imagination

No way it includes LLMs. NYU's LLM class is roughly the size of a 1L class.lawschoolgrapedme wrote:does this include LLMs or is it just JDs?CanadianWolf wrote:Number of enrolled law students from a USNews 2010 publication:

Re: CLS v NYU
The USNews category does not specify whether or not LLM students are included in this "total full and part-time enrollment".
P.S. First year class size is listed as 449 for NYU & 398 for Columbia. Georgetown's is 593 & Harvard's 565 while Yale is listed as 213.

Re: CLS v NYU
Don't worry, I will probably make threads too if it comes down to it. I think visiting can change your mind too, and I honestly think the differences aren't as overblown as liberal PI hippies v. uptight douchebags. They're probably more similar than we think.Curious1 wrote:I love liberals (not the super in-your-face kind that annoys everyone) and wish I could do public interest...but I like/am addicted to money too much...I think I'll assuage my guilt by donating some of the money I (hope to) make.Only if you want to be friends with a super liberal public interest-y type who probably fits in better at Berkeley
If I had to choose between in-your-face liberal PI ppl and uptight douchebags...that's a tough choice. So it has to come down to the moderate students that make up most of the student body.
Again...if it comes down to that. I will make multiple threads.

Re: CLS v NYU
Possibly a little easier, but I would imagine that it would be so slight that most would not notice it. I wouldn't count on this, since even if there is an app decline, I'm sure NYU and CLS still won't have trouble finding students to come.Mavraides87 wrote:Do ppl think NYU and CLS will be easier to get into bc of a potential app decline this year?

Oh, good. An original topic.
I'll just drop a note in here that lots of people choose NYU over CLS each and every year. Why?

Re: CLS v NYU
I doubt that is the only reason. Money would be a good reason, the schools are close enough in terms of reputation that anything over a half-scholarship should make it an easy call. Additionally, I know at least a few people who went to NYU over CLS for reasons related to "environment" or "culture." By the way, I think that is a silly reason, but it is certainly not ignorant. I saw all of this as an NYU student who fully acknowledges that CLS is, on net, better.birdlaw117 wrote:Ignorance.dixiecupdrinking wrote:Oh, good. An original topic.

They're both fantastic schools with different focuses. Why is this a big deal? Chicago owns Chicago, NYU does better in NYC, Chicago has academia and clerkships, NYU does public interest.

Passed on CLS, as the ASW cohort had the personality of wallpaper. And anyone who's done their homework knows NYU has equal job prospects.

Re: CLS v NYU
Booboo, you're not terribly aware of the structure of the legal market are you? CLS and NYU are functionally the same for big law firms in NYC. And NYC is the largest legal market around. Beyond that, CLS is more geographically portable for corporate work, while NYU owns the PI market. Please don't spread disinformation.

diclaimer. unabashed CLS lover, but isn't the PI difference overstated. Between self-selection, the fact that most NYU kids do biglaw and the fact that CLS has access to NYU's PI fair, isn't it more about the culture than the actual opportunities?

There was no disinformation being spread. . Once we have our OCS presentation, we can (at least for ourselves) know the position NYU is in, when comparing to Columbia.
I'd even go out on a limb and say neither is more geographically portable. Every other market has incredible entrance costs that are mostly irreverent to the type of school, outside of HY and S to some degree. I am going beyond the typical big market locales, if we are talking geographic portability.
I'm not sure if NYU owns the PI market, though.
Actual opportunities may be greater... We really are more or less "forced" into at least considering PI as an opportunity. Having an unabashed (see what I did there?) corporate focus, even I am beginning to at least wonder what PI I could get myself into.kwais wrote:diclaimer. unabashed CLS lover, but isn't the PI difference overstated.

Not based on the amount of PILC spam I get. And CLS's need to front up their ASW with a testimony to how they're working on their PI program didn't reassure anyone at all.kwais wrote:diclaimer. unabashed CLS lover, but isn't the PI difference overstated.

The fact that CLS kids need to use NYU's PI fair (which I hadn't been aware of) is telling.
That being said, the vast majority of NYU people take big law jobs.

Re: CLS v NYU
Can anyone ACTUALLY talk about exactly how many people were unemployed last year at each school (as of OCI). General arguments are all fine and both schools are great, yes yes, but can we get some numbers?
If no such numbers are available...then that's telling too.

Re: CLS v NYU
The thing is, as of OCI isn't really all that helpful (assuming you mean through OCI, because when OCI starts nobody has jobs). OCI numbers really only show job prospects at certain firms. Granted, those are, for the most part, the firms that most students want to work at. That doesn't, however, include PI or Gov't jobs, which NYU has a larger self-selecting group for, and it also doesn't include many secondary markets that people might be targeting. Basically what I'm saying is those numbers are probably not as telling as one might think.Curious1 wrote:Can anyone ACTUALLY talk about exactly how many people were unemployed last year at each school (as of OCI).

Also, the OCI numbers exist, but students at each school aren't supposed to share them.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
