But really, both schools are fantastic- so congrats!

HLS doesn't do letter grades. OP, Yale is the easy choice.

And no way do the ideological compatibilities of HLS professors beat the insane statistical and institutional superiority of YLS when it comes to clerking.

Take this for what it's worth: I would take Yale over any school, with only a small number of very specific exceptions.

It is a very exciting time to be a conservative or a libertarian at YLS. There's been a huge renaissance of the Federalist Society chapter here. For whatever it's worth, our chapter won the Federalist Society award for best chapter this year.

I strongly encourage you, or any other libertarian/conservative admits reading this thread, to PM me.
