Too generous. Only real hierarchical difference within the T13 I see are T6 and probably Penn vs everyone else. I guess I'm bit of a Cornell troll though.

Eh, I don't buy the "GULC is significantly worse than Cornell" argument considering much higher PI/gov placement.

OP, how on earth did you join this site 3.5 years ago and think that this thread would be informative?

Thread is not only redundant but just wrong. I would argue that it's much easier to get a Biglaw job out of, say, the University of Houston than it is to get a Biglaw job out of Brooklyn/St. Johns.

I was kind of confused by that too. I think he meaning to say NYC big law.

This is a direct quote from a friend of mine when I asked her about T2 schools and Big Law: wut
"In all seriousness it is extremely hard to get a big firm job from a second tier school in NY unless you're in the top 10%. A second tier school outside of NYC is honestly next to impossible."

As for getting in from a law school... "Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Stanford, NYU, Chicago, Penn, UVA, Michigan, Cornell Fordham (which I would argue is tier 1), Brooklyn, Cardozo, St. Johns, Hofstra" - in that order.

I have seen some people asking about which NY school to go to - so there's some info straight from someone who hires.
