Originally from SF but not sure where I want to practice after law school.

It really does come down to where you want to practice.

CA, OR, WA, NV, CO, AZ, etc. = Hastings

Everywhere else = WUSTL

yeah, pretty much. From what I gather, WUSTL travels much better to the east than the west. So it's your call based on living preference.

WUSTL vs. UC Hastings (financial aid offers haven't arrived yet). Originally from SF but not sure where I want to practice after law school.

WUSTL. got an offer from a firm paying close to market in CA. grades were mediocre but I have ties to CA.

geographic distribution of WUSTL's c/o 2008:

pacific (CA, WA, OR, etc): 8%
mid-atlantic (NYC, etc): 14%
south atlantic (DC, etc): 17%
new england (Boston, etc): 3%
east north central (Chicago, etc): 16%
west north central (St Louis, etc): 25%
mountain (Denver, Las Vegas, etc): 5%
east south central (Memphis, etc): 3%
