Congratulations!

I would have posted that there but it seems as if this forum is a lot more active with current students giving info regarding housing options, professors, bickering back and forth, etc(see last few pages). Although I do feel your pain of anxiously waiting. I had a 3.11 and 161 and went under review on 1/20 and accepted 2/21. Hope you hear back soon

Would like someone to lay some truth down regarding the actual difficulties of securing positions etc. Hard to take employment statistics from schools seriously as you never know how many ppl are responding back, actual positions, etc. Has recruiting been really down at Pitt? Are students having to rely more upon themselves making connections as opposed to career services, on campus recruiting etc? Have 1Ls been able to find summer positions?
At the moment, potentially I may end up paying sticker here and I'm wondering if I should bother or go to a similarly ranked school where money was offered. My sister graduated from a law school in Pitt and worked in-house for a large corporation there for a few years and received offers from other firms at the time so she's been painting a rosy picture for me in attending Pitt. But then again that was 5-7 years ago so the employment prospectives have obviously changed.

Paid jobs are generally uncommon. I know of a handful of people who landed small firms paying $10-15/hr. but nothing more than that. Of course I should mention that if you are a diversity SA candidate your chances at landing, well, everything go through the roof.

when you say diversity, what does that mean exactly?
is it like URM diversity or anything-but-caucasian diversity?
