Do you have ties? If not, I would guess:

Berkeley > Columbia/Chicago >>> NYU, Penn, UVA, Michigan, Duke, NU, Cornell, UCLA > Georgetown

But I'm sure some recent OCI participants can shed better light on the subject.

USC is probably equal or better than Cornell, Georgetown, and UCLA

Scholarship money is not "short term" -- that loan of yours is going to be looming over your head in terms of net income for the next ten years.

Going to ignore your criteria and say Stanford.

anything between a set of arrows you equate as equal, correct me if I am wrong?

let’s draw up a scenario

let’s say the law school without scholarship totaled 250000 after 3 years. 250000 over 10 years, factoring in interest, is 34,500 a year. If i am hired by a private big law firm my salary will be 160000 with a bonus of about 40000 just for the first two years. Then i could expect a raise in salary and bonus. On the federal income tax bracket ill either fall into the 28% bracket or if I am married and my wife has decent job well fall into the 33% bracket. I’ll be or my wife and I will pull in 100,000 after expenses (vacation, food, rent, car, gas, etc.). Obviously this is if everything goes according to plan. i do not want to digress from the main issue at hand. please do not comment on this but do comment on my original question.

I would think that UCLA would outperform Cornell, Northwestern, Duke, and maybe Michigan and Virginia too, but that's a guess.

lulzzzzzzz

not true. UVA places more into the SoCal market then UCLA (percentage wise of how many want to go not actual numbers wise)

I can't speak for the rest of that.

not sure this tells us much. if 20-30 of virginia's better students want socal then their percentage is going to be higher than UCLA's. That doesn't necessarily mean that it's the better school for socal. I made up these numbers, but you know what I mean

lol at 20K bonus for first-years.

Cool. While you're counting on all that, also make sure to bet on the fact that the currency will be inflated at 30-50% so that you're making like, 400k a year 5 years from now. You should have no problem paying off student loans.

I would go to the highest ranked school because SoCal is not a magnificant market right now....but I would guess Cal and Stanford are considered the super elite schools in Cal. I do not think Cal has a problem placing in SoCal

This hierarchy is a pile of dog shit. Are you this stupid IRL or is this some sort of shtick?

Stanford or Berkeley if you want California...

So many "if" statements.

I'm glad you're thinking long-term. Leave the scholarship money for all the short-term fools...

Stop stalking my posts and flaming Berkeley just because you got rejected. Not my fault, nor is it my problem.

And this "hierarchy" hasn't been contradicted yet despite the fact that some people ITT have been through OCI.

Don't flatter yourself. Your posts are legitimately stupid.

im too lazy to look where, but there is a site that breaks down where top schools place in terms of nlj250 firm %s

OK here it is. u can essentially filter by ANY values u want. u have to play around with it a little but i think it should be useful for u.

for example, here i filtered by CA firms that are represented by UCLA grads:
http://californiabar.globl.org/report.p ... 0&g=2&pp=5

u can also leave one category blank, for example, here are law schools represented in all of LA:
http://californiabar.globl.org/report.p ... 0&g=2&pp=5

here is a good one -> look at latham breakdown:

http://californiabar.globl.org/report.p ... 20&g=2&p=2

appears UCLA Berkeley and USC are top (excluding HYS). but note there is prolly self-selection, i.e. more people from Columbia could of came out to latham in LA but decided to stay in NYC.
