Top Law Schools

First post. Welcome. I am an aspiring law student currently working for a rental car company in New Jersey. I'm originally from Queens but I live with my girlfriend in the town I work in. I wanted to go to law school two years ago when I graduated college but my LSAT was low - 157 - and I couldn't get any decent scholarships so I retook this past June and went up to a 166. I was recently accepted on a full scholarship to Syracuse Law- my alma mater and I was accepted to Cornell Law School today via e-mail but there wasn't any mention of scholarship money. I would like to work in New York City after graduating law school. I don't care what kind of job I work as long as it's better than the job I'm holding down right now. If I don't get any scholarship money from Cornell should I go to Syracuse on the full ride? I was combing this forum to find more information but I could not.

Cornell, by a long shot.

Why is that?

That's pretty much why.

See above post, it's not even close.

The only question is whether you want to pay sticker at Cornell. Some say its worth it, others say it is not. Personally, I think it is worth it.

Don't really have that type of money which is why I need more than two links to a couple of numbers to convince me.

That's what loans are for. Its better employment prospects more than make up for the cost, even at sticker. Look at those two links for evidence. Cornell has 85% employment, whereas Syracuse has 45% employment. The median private sector salary of Cornell grads is $160k, whereas Syracuse did not release its salary figures to the NALP, which should be cause for concern.

What's your GPA?

Oh dear... There are people who debate Cornell and Syracuse?

What exactly are you looking for?

Those couple of numbers is all you need to know to make the decision.

Those couple of numbers signify your chances at getting a job with your new shiny JD from those schools. Unless finding a job isn't important to you then those numbers are all you need in this case.

Actually... U know what OP?? Go to Syracuse. Yeah, that's what you should do. Please don't take a seat at Cornell when you can attend Syracuse.

Fellow Midwest bro who created this troll... I applaud you.

Post removed.

Syracuse. HTH.

Isnt the vice president a Syracuse law alum? Ive heard its a pretty big deal.

Since employment stats don't seem to mean much to you, go by your preferred color:

orange --> syracuse
red --> cornell

HTH.

I just found it funny that he welcomed himself in his first post.

For all you nattering nabobs of negativity...Syracuse is nationally ranked ahead of Cornell...in the current lacrosse rankings. So he has that going for him.

The animosity against OP and his admittedly bad question escalated quickly. "Your question is dumb bro --> Fuck yo question! --> I HOPE YOU FAIL"

That's what happens when an OP says things like "i need more than two links to convince me" as if it's our duty to persuade him to not make one of the worst decisions of his life.

I think it's because it's pretty dubious OP is actually a real person.
