New Placement data: UNC? Forum

[belkin00]

Here is the 2005 nlj chart: http://www.law.com/pdf/nlj/20080414empl ... trends.pdf

Here is the discussion of nlj+ fed clerkship stats (scroll down to see numbers on lower ranked schools): http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/v ... 1&t=108528

Looks like UNC has dropped 7-10% or so. Meanwhile, many other schools remained consistent. Wake even increased about 10%.

I really don't want to make too much of this but I thought UNC would place better than 16% into nlj +fed clerkships. Anyone have thoughts?

NLJ stats aren't really that indicative for a school which takes an insane amount of in-state students in a state that has extremely few NLJ250 firms. If you're going to UNC, you're probably looking for a good job in NC; hence, the NLJ numbers are low.

There still remains a 10% decline between the two charts while other schools that have large in-state pops (UGA) have remained consistent or increased.

This does have me a bit concerned. I am deciding between UNC and Wake at the same price. I lean towards UNC partly because of geographical location but career outcomes are very important.

Anything to make the UNC vs. Wake decision easier?

I don't know what you are looking for.

If scholarships make Wake cheaper than UNC, choose Wake.
If scholarships make them the same price, it's a toss up.
If scholarships make UNC cheaper than Wake......personal preference?

perfect...by this most eloquently worded set of conditionals, i find myself with toss-up status.

Don't know why people refuse to believe it but THEY PLACE ALMOST THE SAME (especially in state). its all about your personal preference or $$$ at that point.
