Top Law Schools

Top 10% at NCG but in at P. Worth going or does it not make a difference for career opps? Want NYC or DC? Have several yrs of policy experience

Stay, particularly if at Cornell for NY or Georgetown for DC. Top 10% at NU will snag you most big NY firms and will give you a shot at DC, particularly if you have ties/good reasons for DC.

Penn will offer you no advantage and you will have to essentially start over at a new school.

Stay if you have a full ride or if your school will offer you one to keep you from transferring. Transfer if you're already paying sticker and they won't budge. If you're somewhere in between, the choice will be a more difficult one. Are you on LR?

you only applied to P but you want to be in NYC or DC? I'm so confused.

Is there a "wait for C or H" option?

going to P does 0 things for you unless you hate your school right. i can sympathize so there may be that going for u.

Penn's employment figures are markedly better than NC's and significantly better than G's. Again, whether OP should transfer depends on what he is currently paying and whether his school will offer him money to stay.

yah sure for people at median. not for nyc/dc big law placement for cng top 10%rs.

it's not like there's a magical echelon of firms that open up at a "t6" and not from "dcng".

lol at transfering within the lower T14. Hell LOL at transfering at all from a T14.

What kind of miserable loser is going to trade up for essentially no gain?

If I interviewed someone I'd ding them for doing this unless their wife needed to move for a job or something.

do you think that's just your opinion or most interviewers feel that way

I'm sure I'm way more opinionated than most. But it's weird to transfer.

A guy I know transfered from NU to HLS and then struck out at Chicago firms. I'd imagine tons of NU alumni clicking ding![homophobic language redacted] on his callback eval

Come to think of it I've had a couple professors who transferred within the T14 for presumably striverish reasons and they're pretty insufferable. Guess it worked out for their careers though.

Where I worked, you'd get dinged if you transferred from Texas to a T14. Seemed to be the consensus in Houston.

well if you want Texas and ur at UT and u have th egrades to get T firms why would you transfer. there is no strong T school besides UT.

that is objectively dumb and they deserve to be dinged.
