USC- 41 %starry eyed wrote:honing in on an almost irrelevant point of mine and adding curse words is a nice strategy... don't include the 50+ firms. then UCLA comes out ~5% ahead last year. you win bro- at least until the next report comes out lolILoveYou wrote:Okay, I'm not here to do all of OP's research for him/her. I linked to a page I could type the url for off the top of my head as a good place to start comparing schools. OP definitely should consider data going back several years. OP should consider a lot of things. If OP is smarter than some of the rest of you seem to be, I'm sure this info won't be too difficult to find.
Also, the fact that you only want to call 50+ attorney firms biglaw for one year doesn't make it any less of a dumb idea. Saying the same pretty stupid shit twice and thinking you're making a winning argument is beyond lame. I agree with the dark shepard, it would be best if you could wait for this year's data--last year could totally be an outlier. Most people I've talked to don't think so.
OP, if you're just gunning for biglaw, I say pick the one you want to live near more. UCLA seems to have more varied placement in good outcomes than USC, and the impression I've gotten is that last year wasn't a fluke--UCLA's placement power is probably going to continue to be greater than USC's. So it got my vote. Best of luck at whichever school you attend.
IloveYou.. are you nervous?
