GW v Hastings v USD v Miami v Fordham Forum

[gaucho13]

So I've been admitted to George Washington, Miami, Hastings, Univ of San Diego, and Fordham. All are $15k/yr+ merit based, but money is not the main concern for me. Oh and waitlisted at Notre Dame.

I'm also waiting on USC, NYU, UCLA, and Berkley, so this is rather preliminary. However, I need to tour the above schools, as I have never been to any of their campuses.

IP law would be great, as I know C++. My other interest is constitutional law, or entertainment law if I attent USC or Miami (UM has a dual degree program). I'm also looking for a city with somewhat of a nightlife, that being somewhat important.

Thanks in advance!!

Oh. And of course. the stats. 167/3.36 (econ double major), and my ps was very good at explaining my major choices combined with great LORs contextualizing my lowish gpa. I also own my own part-time business as a mobile/club/wedding DJ.

...because getting a mediocore job out of law school and getting ~80k give or take is a burden on taxpayers...

And also. Going to a lower law school means you graduate tomp of the class. Local law firms recruit from professors and schools locally whom they know.

Most of the forum is full of pricks and elitist asses.

In many cases it can be a burden on taxpayers.

Cool it down, brah.

No, it does not. You really think the bottom 5% at a low-T14 school would automatically be top 5% at a T/TT? If so, you are wrong.

OP, don't go to Miami without a full ride, the willingness to work in Florida and nowhere else, and knowing that you aren't going to get a job in entertainment law.

I would consider GW/Fordham but use them against each other to negotiate more money, if you don't get into a T14.

I apologize, that was a little mean.

Just because I'm looking for balance in my life does not mean I am suspect. Do you do nothing but study? I dont want to end up at Notre Dame if I would be the headlining DJ every Friday.

While your last statement has some truth, all the statements preceding it are demonstrably false. They are merely marketing ploys by these schools. For example, I know a top UMiami student (I mean top) and he can confirm that the employment outlook for its grads, him included are downright scary. There is no 80k, there is no entertainment law, no IP.
Please do more homework before getting all fussy with strangers who are taking their time to save you a world of pain, even if they are delivering the message in a way that hurts your precious feelings.

Yes... Study and make graphs.

I completely understand that having a life (outside of school) is important. However, you skip the entire range of the T14 to which you would be more likely to be accepted to with your numbers (Cornell, for example) and go right to #6 (NYU) just because it is in New York City. Anyway, only you can decide where you ultimately go; we are just trying to tell you that the results might not be desirable if you go to one of the schools you are considering with limited scholarships. (We are trying to help you by providing actual statistics.)

I appreciate the suggestion actually. I will fill out the app ASAP.

Thanks for being so helpful, I was rash.

I wouldn't bet on it. Actually, I did

The other thing to keep in mind is the quality of the jobs.
[url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/pub ... d3c&gid=11]class of 2010 detailed data[url] might be a bit old, but the gist of it hasn't changed much (I'm on my phone and don't have time to dig up the same for 2011)

I'd recommend NYU>Berkeley>USC/UCLA>Fordham>GW and disregard the rest unless california is a must, in which case Berkeley might edge out NYU and Hastings (north) orDan Diego (south) are at least local

First ever post, applying to schools all over the country, wants IP because he knows C++, interested in entertainment law, claims to be a DJ, says going to lower school=top of the class, money not an issue, took two posts to call out the forum as a bunch of elitist pricks...

How am I the first one to call flame?

Ignorant doesn't mean flame. Also, that is the shitlaw equivalent of being a DJ

There's jokey stuff in there but the main thing that tipped me off was making a first ever post, waiting for one snarky comment and one super helpful one, then calling out the whole site as elitists. He should have waited a couple beats at least but he was too over eager to get that out.
