Re: UIUC Class of 2016
Does anyone have any insider knowledge as to when we might expect to see the new employment data?
It's interesting that there has been way more talk about Illinois in other threads than this one since USNWR. Either their haven't been a slew of rankings withdrawals or people just haven't been posting about it. I thought all if you were aupposed to rush to Bama and leave me my full-ride?!

Withdrew today, hopefully it will free up some scholly money (was sitting on a 50% offer). Rankings did not factor into my decision, although I guess there's still time to get a last-minute Bama app in

Iowa (full ride, so tempting) or UW Madison. Hopefully UW, I'm trying to negotiate now. I'm going back to school after some time off and already live in Madison and would like to stay. It's just personal preference though, one of the most successful lawyers I know up here (I babysat his kids for years) went to UIUC.mosquito wrote:Just curious.

Re: UIUC Class of 2016
Hi all, as a foreigner, I want to know how you Americans see the law school rankings. I was accepted by UIUC with a generous scholarship two months ago. Honestly, I like this school but the recently released rankings depressed me. It doesn't matter how UIUC will be ranked next year as long as it still remains as a T1. However, what if it drops to T2? Do you think this will happen next year? How will our job prospects be hurt if it is out of T1? Any response will be appreciated!

Re: UIUC Class of 2016
This has been discussed a few times ITT. The consensus being that rankings changes over 1 year doesnt really matter. A school would have to have a drop sustained for many years before employment outcomes would be effected by rankings. The problem with UIUC is they're in an oversaturated market behind schools like Chicago NU etc.mosquito wrote:Hi all, as a foreigner, I want to know how you Americans see the law school rankings.

Re: UIUC Class of 2016
You are the first to reply me. Thanks a lot. How would you compare UIUC (90k) with Wake Forest (60k)? I've never been to the US before. It's really hard for me to make a choice between these two options.wannabelawstudent wrote:This has been discussed a few times ITT.

Re: UIUC Class of 2016
I would add to this that it depends where you want to practice. UIUC still has a lot of local prestige and places fairly well into smaller markets because of this. Chicago overall has taken a huge hit, but the school is still well connected to some big firms there, as evident by their pretty impressive NLJ250 placement data.wannabelawstudent wrote:This has been discussed a few times ITT.

I posted a link to the class of 2012 employment data earlier, and it shows that big law placement was about the same and overall employement improved. These are signs of a move back up in the rankings, not the fall of a T2 school.
I'll also add that UIUC has a huge international student presence. I think that helps a lot of international students integrate.

Re: UIUC Class of 2016
How big is UIUC's class? I spent last summer at the Chicago firm with the largest summer class by far and we only had 3 UIUC people, which doesn't seem to bode well for the school's employment #s.

Re: UIUC Class of 2016
220ish. The school places about 15-20% in biglaw so it would make sense that there are only a handful of UIUC students at any given firm. There are actual employment stats you can look at2013applicant wrote:How big is UIUC's class?

Re: UIUC Class of 2016
When is the deposit due before you forfeit your scholly?
First deposit it April 19. But I thought I read somewhere that you have to accept by April 6 to keep the money.... or am I mistaking this for another school?

Re: UIUC Class of 2016
I don't remember seeing this anywhere. I'm pretty sure that those who visit on the 19th even get an extension on the first deadline, so I don't think there would be a scholarship deadline before that.JadeWest wrote:When is the deposit due before you forfeit your scholly?

Re: UIUC Class of 2016
Oh cool. Anybody going to the 19th one should really really really go to Ebertfest. It's basically the best thing about Champaign. Because Roger Ebert happened to be born here this tiny town has lucked into an awesome big time film festival. It's in a beautiful restored movie palace, and the movies are all great. Individual tickets went on sale today. I'd highly recommend checking it out if you're in town that weekend.
