Who was butthurt? I'm trolling this thread because you're allowed to troll a thread that started off with a ridiculous OP. It's in the Constitution or something.
I don't give any more of a shit about CLS than I'm legally obliged to. And I imagine sinfiery doesn't care either.

As I said ITT, the best of CCN will be determined three years from now, by a 24-year-old girl in a club who's been carrying her heels all over the dance floor for the past hour, dropped out of school after three semesters of a comm degree, puked in her purse a half-hour earlier, and thinks I'm Ryan Reynolds because I have the same haircut as him.francesfarmer wrote:I for one am extremely butthurt about a lot of things.Monochromatic Oeuvre wrote:Who was butthurt?

As a woman, I look forward to comparing with my other high-powered lady friends how effective at repelling men we are just by namedropping our respective graduate/professional schools.

Also: three years from now, said 24 year old girl will still be a year older than you.

Although really, said 24 year old girl will probably not even be able to count to 24 at that point. I'm just going to tell her I went to Goldman Sachs Ferrari Kate Middleton Medical School, on the theory that her brain is just hearing words at that point and not connecting them to form coherent thoughts or stopping to realize that it made absolutely no sense.

I was just thinking it might be easier to lie about my education rather than lie about my entire personality, which is my current standard for establishing any form of human contact. But if I can't impress vapid and boring women with DAT IVY DEGREE THO, then I don't really see any point in going to law school at all.

I don't think there's any chance NYU's median drops for the second consecutive year. If they were at risk for that, they'd be opening up the scholarship war chest this cycle.Monochromatic Oeuvre wrote:If I had to bet on whose LSAT median is dropping this cycle, I'd bet NYU second (after NU). I can't say I wouldn't enjoy seeing that at least a little.
Congrats on CLS, by the way. I'm very glad to hear that you won't be an insufferable UVA homer after all.

Re: "Hopelessly Deadlocked" b/w 2 Schools Ranked in USN's Top 4
Yeah, I called NYU's median dropping something along the lines of "almost a coin flip", but upon thinking about it, it's probably pretty unlikely. Even if they didn't have the $$$ to shell out, they'd drop class size slightly or start gaming the LSAT median.
It's probably as likely as UVA or Penn's median dropping, which is to say it's possible, but I doubt it happens. I do think there's a better than 50-50 chance NU's median drops, though.

Damn, you wrote a post that long on your phone? What kind of phone?sinfiery wrote:I enjoy how you compared.the results in absolute.terms.to.favor your side of the argument but used specific percentages to differentiate the miniscule difference NYU holds as an advantage in one elite firm. Having looked at the data myself but far too lazy to look up specific numbers again on my phone, I know the miniscule difference works both ways. Ie, the firms where there are more CLS grads is also by miniscule percentages.
Now, let us examine the historical biglaw percentages from these schools. We know that CLS outpaces just about everyone but Penn in placement. Including NYU, sometimes by a wide margin. So if we account for the self selection of PI kids (which, let's face it, NYUs UG screams, their institutional support is widely acclaimed, AND they have famous PI alumni funding PI specific scholarships that are awarded more for PI softs than numbers versus CLS having....I'm ignorant. Fill me in if you can help me out) you see that the average quality of the firm for CLS kids wanting biglaw is actually quite less than that of NYU.
Also, CLS class has a much larger transfer class. And we all know transfer kids have great grades, which sort of hides the placement inefficiency of CLS 1Ls because the percentages are inflated on who receives.biglaw jobs as most transfer kids with their 4.333s are likely getting said jobs with that CLS institutional support plus amazing grades.
So, CLS best start attracting better professors by shilling out 6m condos or maybe try moving their school out 150th st or something
