How many 2Ls at a t10 are still jobless? Forum

[Mal Reynolds]

Um whats T10? I can tell HYS, T6, and T14.

I'm assuming Cornell and George town are excluded. Other 2?

Oh, hey, it's another anecdata pissing match.

For secondaries? Totally depends on the secondary. Cornell and GULC probably don't do well in any secondaries (Cornell only does well in NY, GULC nowhere). I doubt that Duke is very mobile to say St. Louis, but it probably does well in Memphis. Berkeley is probably bad for Atlanta but great for Seattle. NW might do well in Indianapolis and bad in Phoenix. Not like there is a list of 10 schools that universally do well in all major markets and secondaries.

TY for correcting my egregious mistake in my city pairings pulled out of my ass. You have done the board a fine service.

My point wasn't to nit-pick, though I do agree your "city pairings" were pulled out of your ass. My point is that you seem to be making an assertion with zero evidence, other than, hey, this sounds like it could be right. I could counter your naked assertion with my anecdotal evidence that, at Duke, nearly everyone I know who was at or above median and who wanted a secondary market (including markets far removed from the south and northeast) was able to get it. Does this prove that T14s are good for secondary markets? Or that Duke is special? Or that we should stop making assertions that lack substance, before we all end up looking stupid?

At risk of contributing too much to a debate over anecdotes, I think the optimistic people in this thread that keep harping on their data points that everyone they know got all the secondary markets they wanted are missing the point that many others are making, which is: not everyone with good grades from T14, or even T6, or HYS (there was one above median HYSer here that said they couldn't get their secondary market) can make it back to their preferred secondary market. Anecdotes can prove this fact. They can't prove that above median at Duke means you get jobs in whatever market you want, so there is just less use to bringing anecdotes like that into the equation.

To be fair, though, I know of many people who know of no one that was not able to get to a secondary market from the T6 and Duke.

To be even fairer, 75% of Duke Law students I know are jobless. Therefore, I think it's reasonable to surmise that Duke's reputation among employers is tanking.

My whole point was not to bicker about anecdotes but to say that T10 was a meaningless distinction because someone was looking for a firm cutoff on what "T10" meant. My point is for any given market it is different. Whether the "T10" for St. Louis encompasses Duke is something i don't care about and if the "T10" for Memphis is actually only 8 schools or for Boston is 11 is also cool w/ me. It's just a term that usually conveys HYSCCN + a few extras that usually have good access to a market.

You are trying to have a rationale discussion and make a reasonable point among a bunch of idiots. Best to spend your energy elsewhere.
