TLS seems to think of ND as worse than its regional peers (definitely worse than WUSTL/Illinois, maybe even worse than the state schools like Wisconsin and Indiana-Bloomington).IamAskier wrote:I'm not so much worried about the national placement as I am about straight employment numbers/median salaries. If I'm taking debt I need to pay it back, I don't care as much where I work to do it. Some ND grads do go other places besides the midwest though, and the before mentioned alumni network couldn't hurt.
At what schools (if any) would you pay sticker? Forum

While I agree with you that UoI is better I think WUSTL is roughly the same and there is no way in hell I would take either UIB or Wisconsin (of all schools) over ND.

In what cases would you take Vanderbilt over Cornell or Georgetown?BarbellDreams wrote:I an not as debt adverse as most TLSers so FWIW I would take half the T30 at sticker. I have had many discussion these boards how I fully believe that schools such as Fordham, BC and BU are worth the investment.
If I was a bit mroe debt adverse I would say T14+UT+Vandy. In fact I would take Vandy before taking Cornell or GULC in some cases.

I'd take Vandy over Cornell/GULC if it were cheaper or I wanted to work in the south.Übermensch wrote:In what cases would you take Vanderbilt over Cornell or Georgetown?BarbellDreams wrote:I an not as debt adverse as most TLSers so FWIW I would take half the T30 at sticker.

I would take Vandy over Cornell and GULC if some or all of the following factors were present: 1.) Could stand to work somewhere other than NYC. 2. Didn't want to work in DC. 3. Didn't want to do government.Übermensch wrote:In what cases would you take Vanderbilt over Cornell or Georgetown?BarbellDreams wrote:I an not as debt adverse as most TLSers so FWIW I would take half the T30 at sticker.

Basically, Vandy is in my top 5 most underrated law schools in the nation. Their placement is simply better than GULC in firms and better than Cornell in many non NYC firms. People have to realize that vandy's reach is pretty solid and as long as we're not talking CA as the destination they have just as much power as a T14 does.

Re: At what schools (if any) would you pay sticker?
I lived on UW-Madison's campus for a year about 6 years back. There is nothing except drinking there, and I was a city kid so it was tough for me to last that year before moving. Its a fine law schools, but to say it has better reach or placement than ND does isn't a statement I could ever endorse.IamAskier wrote:Well, I'm waitlisted at UW-Madison alsoBarbellDreams wrote:While I agree with you that UoI is better I think WUSTL is roughly the same and there is no way in hell I would take either UIB or Wisconsin (of all schools) over ND.But I would not take on the debt to attend, awesome school though.
