Could the lack of UT's national reach be self-selecting? Aka, since Texas has such an insular market (from what I've read), could it be possible that students go to UT wanting only Texas BigLaw? From what I've seen, the firms in Houston/Dallas/Austin seem to hire their own.

(Correct me if I'm totally wrong. Ignorant 0L only familiar with St. Louis and Chicago over here).

It's pretty much entirely self-selecting. Texas firms want UT lawyers, and the school is required to accept about 2/3rds in-state students every year. These two factors really contribute to the fact that most UT grads end up in Texas despite the ability to work elsewhere.

Is it accurate to regard the current top 13 as "T13?" Northwestern was ranked 14 in 1996 and 1997. Cornell was 14 in 1995. UVA was 14 in 1994

THE WHOLE SYSTEM IS FALLING APART

Oh shit, this would happen to the only group of people concerned about the logical validity of their group definitions

Hm, the "average" idea in that thread is interesting... lol.

But then wouldn't we have to keep GULC in? I want the name to be accurate, but I want to spite them way more.

Yeah, T13 is fine in my book. The school I intend to go to pending no craziness is in either way

Yeah, I think I might start getting really pretentious about T10 (at least while I can, Duke never stays up for long)

The simple solution is to say that T14 refers to a specific grouping of schools that have never fallen below 14th ranking, noting that there are currently 13 such schools - at least until Berkeley falls off next year.

I think I like this the best. GULC you don't even get the satisfaction of driving a name change, you're just not in the club anymore.

Edit: that's what wikipedia has now

It seems to me that if you want Texas BL, you go to Texas and vice versa (Texas firms want Texas grads). So unless you're HYS, you probably want UT for a shot at Texas.

Eh not really. All things equal, I'd do CCN or a UVA/Duke over UT. Better safety net.

Yeah, BL numbers are good, but 49% is a bit scary, even if they are all in TX. It's not as easy a question as say FL big law (UF is not worth it when you still need to be top 10%) though.

Call me crazy, but I think the simple solution is to have the T14 refer to the Top 14 schools.

How actively do Iowa students brag about being Top 20, I wonder.

And include U of T? Ah no thank you very much.

Is this the part where I get to rant about coastal liberal elites?

Lol, it's so cute how much you dislike Berkeley.

ITT future UT students try to force themselves into our exclusive T13 club.

Let us know when you have a 50% BL placement. Peasants.

[Baby Gaga]

We can have 13 schools in the T14 if there are 14 schools in the big 10

[Sarastro]

We can have 13 schools in the T14 if there are 14 schools in the big 10

This is a persuasive argument to me

If anyone has sent a LOCi to a school before a decision, what did you put in the subject line?

Don't want to put loci bc I wasn't waitlisted (yet)
