UC Davis or UMN?

-Cost is the same.

-I'd prefer to live in CA, but I wouldn't mind living in the Twin Cities at all.

-Job prospects are my biggest concern.

Tried this as its own thread, but really no one cares: University of Texas with 7,000 a year scholarship plus in-state tuition vs. full ride at Temple. No interest in practicing in Texas or anywhere in the South; Philadelphia seems nice, but I don't necessarily want to get trapped there. Interested in government work.

How are there no other schools involved in this decision is my primary question.

Texas is the clear and undeniable answer to your question, though.

Is Temple that far off?

In terms of hiring for PA, Temple and Texas probably put you on the same grounds; anywhere else in the country, Temple is not even close.

For someone interested in working in big Alaska law -

Vanderbilt, USC, or WUSTL?

I was wondering the same thing.

Or, is that person too shy to post?

In my opinion, Michigan is a better school. There are some things for which I would choose Cornell over Michigan, and NY BigLaw is one of them. Others will tell you to go to the best school, and there isn't anything wrong with that choice, but personally, I would take the scholarship at Cornell.

playing devils advocate here and i might be totally wrong but heres some food for thought. most cornell student self select into ny big law while michigan students self select into a more diverse group of regions (nyc being first but chicago is a close second). following that logic, michigan students face less competition from their classmates for nyc big law jobs, so OP (and i for that matter ) has a better chance of getting NYC biglaw from Mich.

This is a valid advice. But I also have to say that I felt right at home during the ASW at Cornell because we, the students, the faculty, and the career service people, all seemed to share the same goal. It may work to my advantage because the entire school is better geared towards BigLaw in NY, like a well-oiled machine. At Michigan, I actually felt a bit ashamed that I didn't have a loftier goal.

As someone who's considering Cornell, but has zero interest in NY Biglaw, that actually sounds terribly depressing.

This is a hypothetical. No one actually wants to work in Alaska.

Sorry, did no intent to offend the ladies, but I reserve a special place in my heart for the bitch Palin.

Again, I'm sorry, it is just this beast is especially repulsive. I cannot control my visceral hate for that dumb piece of crap, son of a shit Palin.

UMN. UC Davis will only work in CA, but then you have to compete with all the other big timers. UMN is more national and MAY work well in the Midwest.
