Columbia vs Penn vs UVA

Post by lost0L » Thu Feb 20, 2014 12:42 pm

Accepted to all 3. No significant scholarships. Which is more national in terms of firm placement outside of NYC?

Ties to Chicago. Ideally I'd like to work in Texas or Chicago, but would also be ok with working in Cali.

Did you apply to Chicago? It places well in Texas, Chicago, and California.

What about Northwestern?

Held at Northwestern. I interviewed with Chicago and haven't heard back yet, but am expecting WL.

I gotcha. I wouldn't lose hope on Chicago. I'm a splitter and got in.

Hard to imagine you not getting significant aid from at least one of these schools. Probably a good idea to look over law school transparency to see how these schools place in the markets you want. It's not a perfect measure, but it's still helpful. Not going to account for self selection though.

That gives me hope about Chicago -- it is definitely my top choice if I get in, and if not, hopefully I will get some decent $ from one of the other schools. I will check out law school transparency now. Thanks!
