that number doesn't feel right to me at all, but then again, i don't keep tabs on the career goals of all my classmates

also, re: success rates, ours was 83% c/o 2013, 87% c/o 2014

I agree w/whoever said this thread is premature. You have numbers that will net you better than Berk at sticker. Even though they're stingy, you probably won't get sticker. If you do, I agree with whoever suggested you use the peer school list to negotiate. Even if Berk is out, Duke and Mich would definitely give you good money for those numbers, and they can place in CA. Berk @ sticker should not be an option.

UCLA fully is far from terrible, tho.

But I'd rather increase my biglaw odds from 40ish percent at UCLA to 60ish or higher by negotiating in the lower T14. You'll get some money.
