Chicago c/o 2015 Applicants (2011-2012 cycle) Forum

[soj]

Actually, I just read last year's thread more closely, and it looks like Dean Perry called some admitted students in January and February to interview them for the Rubenstein, and then notified them the result later by email. I have no idea what percentage of people who were interviewed actually received Rubensteins. Find out for yourselves (I searched Rubenstein and Ruby): http://www.top-law-schools.com/forums/v ... 7&t=129424

Also updated today, I think its my 4th update. I THINK it's rejection considering my GPA is below the 25th percentile

Can someone post Chicago's twitter? Is it just the general Chicago law one?

No you wouldn't. You're too in love with the idea of getting to say "I went to Harvard." I can tell from how excited you were when you got in.

Hence: small chance.

Hard to say no to $200,000 though.

Ruby >>>>> Harvard unless you get a need based full ride

No.

Wrapped up final comm. meeting on this group of files. Thanks for your patience. Big group of apps and had to make tough decisions.

The fact that they tweeted this better be an indication that tomorrow is the day...i mean aren't they closed on Monday...and Tuesday seems like torture to me.

This is factually inaccurate.

Ok, fine. H with over half could be better depending on your post-grad goals.

H is TCR If you want anything other than biglaw and I would still take H regardless.

Are you saying this because of a cost/benefit analysis taking into account only the rising pay scale of a big law firm + paying off loans? (I.e. Both Harvard and Chicago get you to 160k/year 1st year salary, except Chicago w/ Ruby gets you there with no loans and interest, whereas Harvard does)?

[snehpets]

Uggghhh too much prestige discussion.

Hope you all hear good news tomorrow

no, I hate math

Lol. The difference between H and Chicago is actually a lot smaller in placement than most people think. Go look at the aliarrow thread from a couple years ago, the nlj 250 data, as well as clerkship and academia data. Chicago placed more graduates in biglaw than wanted it (leaked data) and also is astronomically good at getting clerkships and is great for getting people into academia. This notion that Harvard is worth considerably more than Chicago with a scholarship, in most cases, is ridiculous. If you ask people who have graduated and are in the field, most would say that they'd take a Butler at Columbia or the equivalent at Chicago over Harvard at sticker ten times out of ten.

Did I mention that UChicago has a zero-depth reflecting pool?

What if you have extreme East coast bias?

Sold.

I cannot deal with this anymore. Updated for the fourth time today.

Chicago is a very bad boyfriend right now, leading all of us on like this.
