Top Law Schools

I'd ideally want to work in NYC after graduation but GW will give me better opportunities overall. I'm not set on Big Law, but I haven't 100% ruled it out either.

Prob GW, but depends on money. Either way you'll have to do quite well to get looks at big law, though top 1/4 or so at GW has a shot in NYC (easier than DC biglaw actually).

What do you want to do if you don't get biglaw? As mentioned, there's roughly a 70-80% chance that you don't get it from these schools. So if that happens, do you still want to work in NYC? What kind of work? What kind of salary?
