Which non-T14 school would you go for sticker? Forum

[mz253]

Hastings, of course; why anywhere else at any price?

but is it true that people at hastings are not nice? i just read it from some review websites. no offense.

Vanderbilt/UT Austin. I wouldn't go to USC/UCLA, not even for a full ride+20.

I hate SoCal. Add Wash U to my list, if they get their act together

By which measure? NLJ250? I know Vanderbilt at least beat out both in the most recent numbers available. With California's economic decline, no reason to see why that would change. No idea about Texas though.

For me, pretty much YHS/CCN. I used to think MVP, but I'm just too debt aversive.

This is just my belief, but if you're good enough to get sticker at an MVPDNCG, it makes more sense to try to take a large scholarship in the 15-30 range, or even going a bit deeper if it's a strong regional schools or a city you really love. I'd personally enroll in BC/BU/GW/W&M with a large scholarship before I would enroll at MVP at sticker.

If you want a shot at big law, then no.

i don't know that much about vandy. but why they are so highly regard. seems they are famous in nothing else? sorry i'm international and i've only been in new england for the past few years. i feel people in new england think nothing in south is good. NO OFFENSE.

NYers also think everything west of the Hudson is still theoretical. Doesn't bother me one bit. As for why they're so highly regarded, just look at the placement numbers and the medians of the entering class. Vanderbilt belongs in the #15 spot, certainly over UCLA.

Sidebar: None taken.

wow, i just checked their website. it seems that they have a really great placement record. also the class size is small, so they may have less competition for jobs. hmm, interesting. it's a very useful tip. because i was only looking at schools in the east or west. i don't think i'm the type of person that only aims for big law. i would be happy if i can get a job in a middle sized firm.

btw, any other schools you would recommend in the south or middle of the U.S.?

I would actually be wary about going to Cornell or Georgetown sticker myself but if I was willing to consider those two- I would also consider UCLA, Vandy, and UT-Austin for sticker price.
Nothing else though.

why's that? i remember cornell has a very good placement record in biglaw in NYC area (compare to their GPA, LSAT stats). GW is supposed to be very good, isn't it? also since it's in the D.C. area, it would be great to both law firms and government jobs?

GW is good, just not good enough to justify sticker given the amount of people that want DC (GULC especially, but a lot of other T14 + Texas, Vandy.)

Texas in state is probably the best outside of top 14 sticker option.

Yes, but I think we assume for the purposes of this discussion that in-state =/= sticker.

[d34d9823]

I'd take Texas and Vandy for sure and maybe UCLA. Beyond that, you had better be OK with working for your whole life in the school's location.

Hot? Yes. Cute? No. I personally go for the cute ones. Jen Aniston >>>> Megan Fox

First I would like to note how unbelievable this statement is. Jen Aniston, if she wasn't famous, would be the girl [strike]you call at midnite when all your other plans fell through[/strike] I marry and have kids with and live with in a white house on a hill with a white picket fence.. Megan Fox would def still be a top 3 option.

FTFY

I think i would have to agree with Romo... Megan Fox is hot but some like Jen Aniston would be the good wife kind of a person I would marry. Though Jen is getting a little old, I would look for someone a little younger.

Aniston FTW! http://thechive.com/2010/02/12/jennifer ... 22-photos/

If you are from the Philadelphia area, or live in PA and plan to practice in Philly, pay sticker for Temple. It's absurdly cheap even for out of state, let alon in state, with relatively great local placement.

[lmi]

what about university of washington. i know it's not super cheap, but if you are interested in the NW...? They don't really give merit aid, so I don't think many people going there have a bunch of aid. Plus I believe it is possible to get in state after the first year. It would be much cheaper than, say, Fordham at sticker. Any thoughts on this? (aside from the obvious NY, WA distinction)

[r6_philly]

I would only pay sticker for YHS. Seriously.

Second that. Not everyone has that option though, so then the conclusion is most people should not pay sticker anywhere...
