Why did you post this in the wrong forum?
Follow up, did the school put up a plaque when you won Douchiest Law school on ATL or just have a quiet fist pump.

How would you say that your class is faring in the employment market? How many folks do you think currently have nothing lined up after school?

Really hard to say. My friends and I all have jobs, but we're also all median and above. (And, of course, those without jobs are generally not broadcasting their unemployment.) Based on anecdotal evidence, I'd expect our employment results to look a lot like the class of 2013's. Median and above seems to be competitive for biglaw-type jobs. Below that is dicey.DebtMonkey wrote:How would you say that your class is faring in the employment market? How many folks do you think currently have nothing lined up after school?

Seriously, where does this douchiness stigma come from? Is it mostly just from Tucker Max or what?
I truly enjoyed every current and admitted student that I met at ASW. Perhaps I'm just a douche, too, and I'm just finding out.

I'd sat 2/3 of the class got the job outcomes they wanted. With around 1/2 of the bottom third settling for jobs they are not thrilled with, and the other 1/2 is worse shapebeachbum wrote:Really hard to say.

There's no sense in trying to explain it. Just accept it. Hell, maybe even enjoy it. If nerdo law students want to hold us out as the Brooks Brothers-wearing, beer-drinking, fun-loving, jet-flying, limousine-riding, kiss-stealing... well, my point is that the rep is here to stay- might as well have fun with it.mjr.don wrote:Seriously, where does this douchiness stigma come from?

For what it's worth, I tend to believe that a T14 law student is a T14 law student is a T14 law student. It doesn't really matter where he ends up; the same group of people (/types of personalities and qualifications) are applying to the same schools. They just get divided up differently between the T14 based on scholarships and geographic preferences and whatever else. But I don't think the douchiest of the top law school applicants are naturally drawn to Duke, just as I don't think the broiest (sp? real word?) are drawn to UVA or those most loathsome of sunlight and happiness are drawn to Cornell. It's the same group, just in different locations.
