Acting like Irvine won't be accredited, and top 50, is stupid. Because you might be stupid, I should state further that I'm calling your post stupid.MrAnon wrote:UCLA in a heartbeat. Is Irvine even accredited? Why not just take the full ride at People's College of Law?
I was surprised no USC mention, honestly. You would think an acceptance to UCLA would indicate one at USC. Haven't dealt with them, but if the law schools are anything like the undergrads then you would think USC would go 20K.twert wrote:with your numbers, i wouldn't go to either of those schools.

Wow, yeah just looked at your numbers. Wondering if those are accurate though if these are the options you're looking at so far. I would definitely forget UCLA and Irvine and take a T6 admit (or at least Boalt) if those are your numbers. Nothing is guaranteed, but 174/ 3.7 should be a lock for T6, and could even put YHS in range depending on your softs.If the numbers in your profile are real, you would be an idiot to go to either.LiveFreeOrLaw wrote:Don't want big law, but do want a decent job in a midsized firm.

What say you?

Like for school or for your career? I guess UCLA is probably almost as good as Chicago (which you could get) in SoCal. No Boalt?LiveFreeOrLaw wrote:I want to stay in so cal.d34dluk3 wrote:If the numbers in your profile are real, you would be an idiot to go to either.LiveFreeOrLaw wrote:Don't want big law, but do want a decent job in a midsized firm.

Why would you even consider what you think is a sinking ship I wonder? Best of luck wherever you choose. You should visit both schools if you haven't already, but I know I would not choose to attend a school I thought was a sinking ship if it were my decision to make. If your comment on the UCI forum reflects your belief about the school then it is silly to even pose the question.LiveFreeOrLaw wrote:You read my quote and still came to that conclusion eh?smittytron3k wrote:with your numbers i think you really need to shoot for a top 6 familyLiveFreeOrLaw wrote: Did not apply out of state because I cannot attend out of state.

Where is the evidence that Irvine's accreditation is a given? There is none, aside from statements by the school that it is almost surely forthcoming. It could be the #1 school in the nation tomorrow, but it still won't be accredited.Acting like Irvine won't be accredited, and top 50, is stupid. Because you might be stupid, I should state further that I'm calling your post stupid.
How is it that your personal/family reasons allow you to go to school in NorCal but not in Chicago or NYC? Chicago is like a 3 hour flight from LA. NYC is a 5 hour flight. The Bay Area is a 6-7 hour drive.LiveFreeOrLaw wrote: Although not desired out of So cal - Rejected at Boalt. pending at Stanford. Did not apply out of state because I cannot attend out of state.
