Last minute NYU, Columbia, or Chicago poll?
Posted: Fri Apr 16, 2010 9:15 am
I know it's the umpteenth CLS/NYU/Chicago thread, but I have some extra considerations, I think:
1. Went to NYU for undergrad and really disliked it. Part of that was because I felt like a second class citizen to the other (more prestigious) programs, and part of it is due to my department being a little bit weird. On the other hand, reports from others I know who have gone to NYU law from NYU ugrad say that the law school is much better.
2. I liked CLS a lot, prefer MH area of nyc to downtown, but part of that could be the ASW smoke and mirrors. I was reasonably pleased with NYUs ASW, and I liked chicago's as well. So that's unhelpful.
3. Want NYC biglaw, but also like the idea of clerking
4. Am thinking of a JD/MBA as well--so CLS' new 3-year option could be good. Similarly, Booth is really well-regarded
5. I have a significant other in NYC who has never gone to Chicago, so we're worried about finding her a job.
Lastly, I need to decide by Monday. Extension request denied.
