And then was hired for the highest known starting salary in his graduating class. Seems that how you dress in law school doen't really matter in some cases.

You should really ask yourself what about Penn is really attractive to you when compared to a similarly ranked school (which any school in the T14 other than HYS, really). Dude, granted Philly is a hole, and America's ugliest city , but I think this assessment is a little much. Penn is a great school, with pretty solid clerkship and biglaw placement. No way in hell I'd go to, say, Cornell or G...
