Sounds good to me. I'd rather stick to your advice about not thinking too far ahead before we get scores back. Just cuz I'm not 100% sure, that is Jennifer Lawrence as your TAR right?
Yes!!!!!!!

I never saw JLaw in your Tar until now, and now I feel stupid for never realizing it.

pretty fuckin scared thinking about the test.

anyone else been getting nightmares about gray day?

i've gone over all the ones that i thought were tough but i'm more worried about the ones that i didnt think were problematic...

historically i've gotten more assblasted by those than the actual ones i felt iffy about

I really hope folks don't judge based on my 'tar. I must come off as a crazy person.

Once you all get your scores, would you please post your section breakdowns and expected scores

this would help us december takers a better idea of how much drop can occur on the test day

What schools outside T14 do you guys think provide the best employment opportunities, big law & non-big, in NYC ?
I'll take a stab at this - looking forward to hearing what others think as well.

First depends what you want to do, e.g. Big Law, PI

Depends what region you want to be in - A top regional school like TX or Vandy may be better for employment than a higher ranked school which is in NY, for example.
Uhh? But the only NY law schools higher ranked than TX and Vandy are Columbia and NYU?
That's missing Cornell, and Michigan, UPenn, NW, Chicago, Berkeley, Stanford, Harvard, etc. All these schools have first dibs at NYC, not Fordam, or Brooklyn or whatever.

I am confused at your response but I actually think I may have figured out the original statement myself. They're perhaps saying that, if you *really* want to work in Nashville, it's probably better to go to Vandy than NYU.

I hope I'm judged exclusively by my tar.

I somehow took "outside t14" for "outside NYC".

Your tar doesn't match your comments though. You countered my Swanson post earlier with talks of Vodka. And Vodka is a deplorable alcohol substitute.

I hope everyone was suitably confused when I started talking about how hot the Canadian prime minister is. That whole conversation was supremely un-Swanson-like.

Emory. At least you are in a better market, a better city, etc. Both throw out a lot of money. But I'd rather spend 3 years in ATL than St. Louis and ATL is the better legal market overall I would think.

I fall asleep getting my son down and miss this -- Abyss is pretty spot on here. I turned down a larger offer from WUSTL (Dean's Fellowship, full-tuition) in favor of Emory for pretty much the same reasons. At ASW there was repeated mention of elite litigation boutiques. Without an NALP report any kind of confirmation is going to be unreliable, but older Emory threads seem to suggest a robust near-market placement in Atlanta. Unless you're from the midwest (if you want to move there, I don't think WUSTL will help enough without ties), go to Emory. But neither places well outside of their region.

TheProdigal, I'm confused. Are you an Emory student or admit?

Emory helps when you have some Southern connection.
