WUSTL Recent Grad (and others) Taking Questions Forum

[notedgarfigaro]

so, I actually have a question...how long does our health insurance last after graduation?

Out of curiosity, any new information about the next dean?

At ASW they said they have 3 or 4 good candidates at the moment. And also, interim Dean Keating said that if they don't end up finding a suitable replacement, that he will be happy to stay on for another year if they need him to.

haha washu.... understated and no evidence of sympathy in e-mail about the raising of tuition.

For purposes of your planning, I want to let you know that the Board of Trustees has approved a tuition increase of 2.9% for J.D. students and 2.4% for LLM students for the 2014-2015 academic year. That will make the annual tuition rate $49,752 for both sets of students.

thanks, it's a relief that if I do get some catastrophic health aliment over the summer, it will only add half of its cost to my debt load (and even better, dischargable in bankruptcy!).

What are good places to find furniture considering no ikea

What are good places to find furniture considering no ikea

dumpster diving at the end of any semester near the freshman dorms.
I'm really not joking. WUSTL kids are, on average, rich as hell and they just throw away perfectly good things.

Depending where in STL you live, you can get Ikea delivery for $99 flat rate. If you are getting enough things there it is worth it.

That's what I figured I'd be doing.

We make our own furniture through sweat, blood, and pure perseverance. It's pretty much the Midwestern way. You wouldn't understand.

When I got my first place on my own, I was working as a carpenter and built a coffee table, chairs, a bar, barstools, and a desk out of plywood and 2x4s from job sites. Because poor.

There is one. It's in Chesterfield which is outside the StL city limits, but it's not THAT far.

When I lived in California literally all of my bedroom furniture was scrap wood. It was actually pretty awesome. My bed is still made of plywood, come to think of it.

So does this mean that when the St Louis Ikea opens in 2015 it will help WUSTL Law recruiting?

The applicant thread is posting 32.6 percent 100 plus firm and fed clerkship combined for c/o 2013. On my phone or I would look into it more.

29 (100+ attorneys) + 3.3 (fed clerkships) = 32.3%

That sounds unreasonable given that our NLJ 250 number was reported at only 18.33%. That means we must have put a massive number of students in either clerkships or firms between 100 and 160 lawyers, and normally these numbers are very low.

If we somehow managed to do this, than great job to the CSO. But I am skeptical until I see more.

If that is true, than the National Law Journal is severely underestimating how many people we put into Biglaw:
http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/v ... 1&t=225116

It says we put 55/300 into Biglaw. From the ABA data, our school places 64 into firms of 250+, and another 23 into firms of 101-250. The NLJ cutoff is usually around 160, so over half of those 23 should also be counted in the NLJ 250. So a generous estimate is that the NLJ undercounted the number of our grads in "Biglaw" by about 20 lawyers.

It's been reported before that the NLJ 250 numbers are incomplete and don't count a few domestic firms and any foreign-based Biglaw firms. But this kind of under-counting seems pretty substantial to me.
