How does that make sense? I'd rather do HYS if I wanted PI because everyone says that HYS opens up more doors to those hard to get /federal/prestigious positions. Plus, the low PI salary would justify the higher tuition because of LRAP and such.GJWheeler wrote:if you want to work at a law firm, HYS.
if you want to do public interest, then CCNP or whatever the schools in the third option are.
Yeah it's backwards, but the real answer is soj's post from the previous page.paglababa wrote:How does that make sense?

I would think that if someone wants biglaw they'd rather take the money and run from CCNYMVP.
soj's post is the real answer for most people, including the "maybe PI" crowd, but it's not necessarily the answer for people with PI backgrounds who enter law school strictly to pursue a PI career.bk187 wrote:Yeah it's backwards, but the real answer is soj's post from the previous page.paglababa wrote:How does that make sense?

Just want to emphasize that you have this backwards.GJWheeler wrote:if you want to work at a law firm, HYS.

To be fair, outside of TLS/NU they're not that rare.bk187 wrote:Fair enough. But those people are rare and there are far fewer true PI people than there are people who think they are true PI people.

They place a lot of people, but not into the same caliber of jobs proportionally.abl wrote:Am I missing something wrt Penn? Or is all of that early stuff about CCNP a flame? I graduated from law school a year ago, so I suppose things have changed (although now I'm closer to the hiring end of things, and things DEFINITELY haven't from this end), but when I was in school, this was not how things were viewed. I understand that Penn appears to have had one (or even two?) good years of data, but does a bigger sample really show that Penn is at the same level as Columbia, NYU, or Chicago?

Penn has great large firm placement numbers going back at least to 2005.abl wrote:Am I missing something wrt Penn? Or is all of that early stuff about CCNP a flame?
