Sorry if I came off as a troll. I didn’t grow up wealthy and worked my way to a top 3 Ivy and CLS. It may annoy you, but don’t want to spend time working or speaking with people who didn’t have to work nearly as hard as I did or have the same credentials and grades. After interviewing, I believe that this sentiment is widely shared at Columbia and at top law firms by people with unblemished credentials.

Example: A few partners I socialized with at a callback drinks event explicitly said that nobody cares about law schools at U. Virginia, Michigan, Berkeley, Penn in New York City. Associates at Cleary and DPW also seem to be very aware of how the diminished Vault ranking is hurting their recruiting, and they are cringing about having more people from lesser schools like these than ever before.

I think I’m going to go with S&C or CSM. I get the impression you can move from one of those to DPW or Cleary but not the other way around. You guys could have commented on the relative quality of people and practices at these firms but instead you decided to troll and attack me.
Bad news, OP... I don't even go to a T14 and I have an offer at S&C! Perhaps you should steer clear of there as well. Did it ever cross your mind that there are lots of reasons to go to lots of different law schools, and that the hiring committees pick bright students from all over the place? Get over yourself.

This is the word that cinched CLSV5er as a troll. You're trying too hard.

Why S&C over CSM?
