WUSTL placement into coastal markets will affect my decision Forum

[StateSchoolSplitter]

Can someone please provide numbers for Washington University's placement into non-midwestern cities (specifically Boston, NYC, D.C., San Francisco, and Los Angeles)? These don't have to be BIGLAW numbers. Just anything, really. Well...for the most part.

Thanks all in advance

I'm not sure, but I do know that Vanderbilt, WashU, and Tulane participate in a consortium off campus interview programs in NY, DC, and GA (WashU does not participate in the CA off campus program).

Ties are important, particularly outside of St. Louis and NYC.

If you don't care about Biglaw, you can basically find a job anywhere you have connections.

Waiting for the Cubs to win? No wonder your correcting people's grammar online; that's a lot of time to kill.

Okay, and we all know to trust the data released on official university websites. Regardless, I'm looking for a bit more.

Wait, what? Schools lie about employment data and salary data all the time. You said all you cared about was finding out where WUSTL places alltogether. There is no reason not to trust the geographical breakdown.

And you aren't going to find anything more because no one else cares to look beyond that.

Can you, or anyone, provide more information on this? I hadn't heard of the program before.

Has anyone translated those cryptic regional labels into actualy city/states? WTF is East North Central and West North Central?

West South Central=Texas?
East South Central=Louisiana/Alabama/Mississippi?

I care if by Pacific they mean Sacramento, or if by mid-Atlantic they mean Baltimore, etc. It seems like an important distinction.

Fair. I just would appreciate the numbers broken down into cities rather than ambiguous regions.

those are official areas from the census bureau: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_re ... ated_areas

ETA seriously guys, google is your friend

The regions aren't ambiguous they are the census bureau regions and you aren't going to find it broken down in cities, I promise you.

What you want is the firms into which WUSTL grads place. More important than your distinction is that you'd like to be able to tell a Cravath associate from a Walmart one.

Look directly on large firm websites and search for WUSTL grads. My impression of the school is that it attracts self-selecting middle Americans.

[Patriot1208]

Basically your answe is this

New england = 3% - this includes Boston and surrounding states, probably most of this is boston
Mid-Atlantic = 14% - It's pretty easy to think most of this is NYC
South Atlantic = 17% - DC is included in this but a lot of other states that people may want to move to as well, probably only half of this is DC.
Pacific = 8% - Most of this will be LA and SF
Total = Probably around 1/3 of the class ends up in the cities you want. How the job breakdown in those goes is anyones guess.

That is as detailed as you'll get.

Thanks. Not sure what your last sentence means, though.

I wonder what it takes to be that 1/3 of the class. I'm sure that's not the top 1/3.

[crit_racer]

he means ppl from StL/Chi go to WUSTL b/c they want to practice in StL/Chi and do not attempt to get to the cities you are talking about.

EDIT: I would disagree w/ that statement, tho. Seems like a lot of ppl (read: splitters) from the coasts end up at WUSTL b/c it's the only good school they get into. It seems foolish to think those ppl aren't trying to get back to the coasts...
