Zing!

As for the post asking about why Harvard over Yale, for me it's because I have ties in Boston.

I simply cannot understand the reasoning of the people who have any school ranked above all three of HYS. You guys do know that after law school, you have to have a career, right? And that you only have to stay in the area a combined two to three years?

Wow...our lists really are very close. Well, I hope that Stanford finds that my mind is like yours; I really want them to accept me!

4. NYU

6. BU
7. Duke
8. Vandy
9. University of WA
10. Lewis and Clark

Weird list, I know. There are tons of schools that I would choose over L&C, except my wife wants nothing more than to move to Portland and buy a house. She's already done the work to get her post-grad. I'm just finishing my BS. If I don't get into the top 20 or UW, I'm probably gonna be stuck going there. Which isn't so bad because its in a pretty beautiful spot, and has good employment prospects for Portland.

I'd bet Stanford would give you better employment prospects in PDX than any school on your list except perhaps Nos. 1 and 2.

UCLA
Cornell
USC

Why? Because two out of three of them gave me fee waivers and both UCLA and Cornell have a focus on public interest. I don't know about USC yet.

Also, with my numbers, I really can't start dreaming too much about this T20 thing.

Here's my inflammatory (to some) list. I'm a Chicago area resident that has been in the working world for 15+ years so I have certain experiences that have created my preferences in descending order. (bias)

-Yale
-Chicago
-Berkeley
-Stanford
-Notre Dame
-Michigan
-Duke
-Georgetown
-Cornell
-Penn

Lol. that's what it looks like.

Yeah I made my list more based on where I would like to attend, not necessarily prospects. I was born and raised in CA and I really dislike it there. If I had the #s to get into Stanford, though, I would go. But I don't. (Or Harvard, Yale, Columbia, or NYU for that matter.)

BTW I have a friend practicing in Portland, and he says that 75% of the people he interacts with on a daily basis graduated from L&C or Willamette. Apparently its a pretty local market. But thats anecdotal, and I'm sure a school ranked in the top 20 or so would beat out L&C at most jobs.

QUESTION:
I'm in Utah (originally from the east coast)
and SUPER surprised that folks even list the U as their top 20.
Why is this???
Curious Utahns wish to know! :lol:

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
