Northwestern or georgetown
Not really interested in Chicago in the long run. Interested in Big Law Secondary markets close to mine or my wife's home (PA or OH), DC, or NYC. Is there a significant difference b/w Georgetown or Northwestern for these purposes?

Re: Northwestern or georgetown
About 10% difference big firm placement according to LST (49 > 39 in favor of Northwestern). But 60% of Georgetown grads end up in NYC or DC, whereas less than 25% of Northwestern grads end up in those cities. If you know you don't want Chicago I think you could justify taking Georgetown over Northwestern.

Re: Northwestern or georgetown
Is the general consensus that Northwestern's superior BigLaw placement is due to self-selection: NW takes such a high % of previous work experience that already place well?

Re: Northwestern or georgetown
I think the general consensus is that the previous work experience is a factor in them having better placement, but since there aren't statistics for this, nobody can determine how much can really be attributed to that.UnfrozenCaveman wrote:Is the general consensus that Northwestern's superior BigLaw placement is due to self-selection: NW takes such a high % of previous work experience that already place well?
