Fordham 2011 Forum

I've been complete for over 3 months with an LSAT far above their 75th and a GPA slightly under the median. In the interim, peer schools have given me a full scholarship and have sent alumni to develop relationships with me. Good job killing being one of my top choices, Fordham.

They really try to weed out gunner types.

[justadude55]

LOL. I'm not a gunner. It's just like if you go to 2 restaurants that are equally well regarded, and in 1 restaurant you're outright ignored for an hour and in another they seat you right away and the chef brings you a complementary appetizer, who will you feel you owe more to when you go on Yelp?

This analogy is dumb.

[dizzynoise]

Admittedly, I did not put much thought into the analogy and there are many holes into it.

only people who applied before Oct 15th with an Oct LSAT score are entitled to a decision by a certain date. Splitter cycles, which you appear fall under, are notoriously hard to predict and each school treats them differently.

only 25% of Fordham got NJL250 firm jobs. And a solid 50-70 of those firms are horseshit ID defense type gigs.

That was still before the TANK in the 2009 OCI.

What's your point 3L why are you even on here with this?

I can't provide data to people considering a school?

Columbia law was outed as a troll a while ago. He goes to fordham.

Who cares? What did I say that was incorrect/shouldn't factor into a decision?

[Stringer6]

Just thought people would like to know.

When is the 25% figure from?

[Columbia Law]

When is the 25% figure from?

The new NLJ250 stats.

Class of 2010 and class of 2011 is considered the "lost generation" from the 2009 crash so brace yourself for next year.

[Stringer6]

So someone entering the school in 2011 could reasonably expect at least 25% for his or her class

Hey, C_L! Would you do me a favor and repost that link? I can't find it at the moment and - while it's certainly not the most positive news - I do think it's informative. (Also, tbh? I was pleased with how well Fordham placed, given the circumstances.)

If we are entering law school 2010, I wonder if we can expect at least a marginal boost by the time we look for our jobs...

Well, I like to think so... but then again, I'm one of the more optimistic folks on TLS. (And for transparency, I am not going into Big Law and have no dog in this hunt.)

[MrAnon]

You'll be lucky if the hiring outlook is the same as this year. These jobs are leaving, and they ain't comin' back.

[Stringer6]

FOREVERRR

[LinzerTorte]

Just withdrew. Hope one of you TLSers get my $$!

[njn3]

Just updated to complete 3/1...how many complete dates did those of you who got a decision get before the decision? Was it 2 or 3?
