ftr op completely changed the prompt, and my initial posts were replying to emory v depaul

[FSK]

(fueled by OCI rage) Please don't go to GW for anything less than 70% scholarship.

[Nova]

same with pretty much any non-T14

6 figures off or don't go

It was me who made the post not Greg. Please share with us the actual 9 month stats on those schools minus people who clearly don't want to be lawyers (likely 3-8% of any class). Then also please share the consensus view on what will happen to the forgiveness bomb. Last please explain why anyone would care about ability to get a mortgage when renting has become so commonplace?

WTF are you talking about? GW is 63% at 9 months if you subtract school-funded. That's far from "100% shot at being a real lawyer."

A much more significant portion of students at NU go to law school without any intention of becoming lawyers due to the JD-MBA class size. JD-MBAs typically end up in the business sector (by choice most, NU's B-school is more respected than its law school and most people want nothing to do with law after 1L which is conveniently when JD-MBAs begin to take B-school classes...) Importantly the jobs these students obtain are just as difficult if not more difficult to obtain than big law jobs for law students. NU's JD-MBA class is somewhere between 20 and 30 students any given year which calculates to a little more than 10% of the class. NU actually publishes a breakdown of careers on their website and the corresponding salary. http://www.law.northwestern.edu/profess ... index.html

This obviously isn't a perfect measure of people who don't want to practice law but it does show you that people who don't obtain a law job do typically earn a good salary.

tl;dr A bit more than 10% at NU don't want to practice law which attributes their high JD-advantage jobs. JD-advantage jobs coming out of NU are still good jobs though.

Lax's discussion was referring to GW and Emory. There's been some confusion here, b/c OP is the one and only GregJames.

[Gregjames]

It seems that there is a consensus that Emory trumps GW.
And that its situation is similar to NW.

[Gregjames]

[A. Nony Mouse]

For the last time, provide all the information requested in this post http://top-law-schools.com/forums/viewt ... 1&t=206299 if you want helpful answers. Don't just keep posting "what about random school x?" No one can answer whether any of these schools are a good choice *for you* without information abut you.

If you're just looking for random commentary on a given school, use the search function. All these schools have been discussed on this site before.

Until you share your LSAT/GPA, there's no way you can make a decision on where you'd like to go and there's no way for the posters here to give you advice that's worth a damn.

Asking about whatever school that strikes your interest without any relevant facts like your LSAT/GPA, how much scholarship you want, what your post-JD aspirations are, etc. is completely and utterly meaningless.

You take these responses as people attacking you, but it's not. These people want to help you. They just aren't able because of your lack of cooperation.

So yes, I think it's reasonable for people to doubt your abilities. If you can't even figure out how to get advice on what law school to get, you're about a thousand steps removed from getting into a worthwhile law school and a million steps removed from doing well at that law school.

You can exercise all the 1st amendment rights you'd like but that doesn't change the situation around you of:
- This message board's opinion of your abilities.
- Your prospective school's opinion on your application
- Your future law professor's opinion on the quality of your work
- Your potential employer's opinion on you as a prospective employee.

Getting defensive and refusing to adapt to the situation in the face of adversity is a bad response and does not bode well for your academic or professional future.

First of all, I also completely doubt your abilities. You sound like either a troll or an idiot, both of which cause me to think you're not going to do well.

Second, Nony or other mods, correct me if I'm wrong, but insulting pancake and calling him fruitcake is hate speech, since fruitcake is a derogatory term for a homosexual. Lock?

In my opinion Emory has more prestige. Also Atlanta weather is much more better than freezing Chicago!
