Snobs in law school
Posted: Thu Apr 14, 2016 6:44 pm
For those who are attending t14 schools, how common is the snobby/elitist attitude among your fellow students? What about t25 schools? T50 schools?
Thanks!
Thanks!

I thought people in law school were awesome, albeit TONS of rich kids....
People I work with are generally not nearly as awesome...

I think GULC kids internalize the fact that we're barely clinging on to the T14 by our fingernails and suppress feelings of elitism accordingly.

You're gonna have to qualify "snobs". If it's a proxy for well-heeled rich kids, okay, but then it's more of a quantitative observation. As someone who comes from parents that barely ever made 30-50% above minimum wage, it's annoying to be around so many rich kids who are going to St. Thomas over Spring Break. But, I find most generally tolerable/cool. At least that's the case at UT.

Just make rich friends and ride their coattails - that's the only way to success in the modern US of A. (I'm completely serious.) The American dream is dead for pretty much everyone except the top 1%.BasilHallward wrote:You're gonna have to qualify "snobs".

a decent number of your classmates will be in the top one percent 10 years out. It's only about $450k.krads153 wrote:Just make rich friends and ride their coattails - that's the only way to success in the modern US of A. (I'm completely serious.)

I go to the Thomas M. Cooley Law School (North Pole campus). Is that still true for my classmates?

Yeah, lots of snobs, though many were still cool people and were friends of mine. I just felt way out of my element at times. One time, someone asked me "where did you prep?" and I had no clue what he was talking about. And then i realized that I was the only one at the table who didn't go to prep school. And lots of people would start chatting about sailing and my eyes would just glaze over.

Serious Q: What is the difference between a prep school and a private school?

Honest response is that prep schools have post grads whereas standard private schools don't. Also could be boarding vs. day schoolsomethingelse55 wrote:EXCUSE ME. I went to the ST JUDE'S SCHOOL FOR BOYS, TYVM.
