Typical LS Graduate Age? Does Your UG School Really Matter? Forum

[Swimp]

Hi.

What would you guys consider a good UG? Top 25? Top 50? Top 75?

Would U Wisc-Madison be good enough to matter in a postiive way? Or bad enough to either hurt or not matter?

(ETA: Not that it would matter much, but I spent summer school at Stanford one year...can't really list that I'm guessing.)

I think for the purposes of post-LS employment, it probably depends on the geographical region you're trying to get a job in. If you're interviewing in Wisconsin, there's a good chance that coming from UW Madison would be an asset. With NYC firms, maybe not.

Madison is very respectable in the Midwest. I think on the east coast, they might not appreciate it as much because it's a state school. But if you're looking in Chicago, people will recognize.
