Re: SMU vs GW

Re: SMU vs GW
What are your stats? Where are you from/ where do you want to practice? Also you said you want patent pros, do you have a hard science undergrad?

No, you want to be a patent litigator--much more interesting. And you could get that in the DC market.maxmartin wrote:SMU 90K, GW sticker

Maybe he does and maybe he could, but even IP secure doesn't make gw at sticker a sound decision. OP have u tried to negotiate aid from gw?manofjustice wrote:No, you want to be a patent litigator--much more interesting. And you could get that in the DC market.maxmartin wrote:SMU 90K, GW sticker

Re: SMU vs GW
Why wouldn't you take SMU here? Money versus no money, and EDTX is a huge patent district, and NDTX is getting there.

You know, great catch. You're right about Texas and patent litigation.kalvano wrote:Why wouldn't you take SMU here? Money versus no money, and EDTX is a huge patent district, and NDTX is getting there.
My bad. I change my tune. Yea, patent litigation, focus in on EDTX/NDTX. Gun.

Re: SMU vs GW
And there are Dallas firms that want patent-eligible people. I've got 3 jobs on my Symplicity for starting associates for patent work. Kills me that I can't apply.

SMU, bro. It places surprisingly well for a school of its ranking.

Re: SMU vs GW
I know DC is probably the biggest patent market. And I send my resume to some top patent firms DC offices, the feedback is pretty positive. A few even called me back to tell me I have an excellent chance of getting summer intern after I finish my GW 1L. This general positive feedback makes me seriously consider GW.manofjustice wrote:No, you want to be a patent litigator--much more interesting.

Is it too early to negotiate aid? I guess I should give them a call. Thanks.TheZoid wrote:Maybe he does and maybe he could, but even IP secure doesn't make gw at sticker a sound decision.

Re: SMU vs GW
GW at sticker (or even near sticker...) is over paying.
SMUs job prospects are better than a many T1s.
Dallas is good a sized market and SMU is very respected there. Big cities in Texas are inclusive. Transplants are welcome (I grew up in Dallas).
I would retake or take the money.

Re: SMU vs GW
SMU is the better option between these two. The best option is to retake since you have no ties to Texas.
