Q: I know UIUC is traditionally a strong engineering school and LS has especially a strong Patent law focus. UIUC boasts about 25% Big Law placement. Is this number inflated by the number of grads getting into Patent and the actual non-patent big law could be significantly lower than a comparable school with similar biglaw number without a strong patent law focus (i.e. UNC)?
Great question that I'm also interested in learning more about

No, it's not disproportionately IP. In fact, it's most likely the opposite.

Also, not trying to be rude, but where did you get the idea that the school has a strong patent focus?

Loved my visit, best conversations with students from any admitted weekend, great campus area, seems like such an underrated school. So glad I applied. See y'all in the fall!

For those that attended the ASD, were there any hints at what the C/O 2016 employment stats look like?

I met with the Dean of Admissions one-on-one a few weeks ago and asked about the 2015 employment numbers and she said to expect a bump with C/O 2016.

Thanks! I know the stats should be out any day now but need to decide soon with deposits looming.

it just came out!! https://law.illinois.edu/careers/employment-data/

posted this in the c/o 2020 thread already, but if my math is correct it looks like we're at about a 79% employment score (long term, full time, bar passage required) vs. 65% for the c/o 2015

Thoroughly impressed with the numbers!

Consensus seems to be about a month for scholarship negotiations?

Is anyone still under review? Submitted late late Jan. and went under review 3/19. Sort of starting to get paranoid, considering the deposit deadline is this week.

Has anyone been successful in negotiating their scholarship up from full tuition to also covering fees? Before I paid the first deposit none of my other offers really seemed strong enough to convince them to do that but there's a chance I'll have an offer later this week that I wouldn't feel ridiculous using to try to negotiate up but I just wanted to check in and see if anyone has pulled it off yet.

I am still waiting. Have you heard anything? Should I just call it quits at this point?
