"The T14"
"Georgetown is so TTT"
"The LSAT is just like the SAT right?"
"LSDAS made me GPA so much worse."
"$80 for an application fee?! What?"

I'm gonna go to this TTT, but I'm definitely going to transfer after 1L anyway so it doesn't matter.

Obviously I was incorrect because you must have spoken with everyone who's applying to law school this cycle. Bless your heart.

The difference between a TTT and a T14 for job prospects is usually 10-fold or more (~5% NLJ prospects vs. 40%+). So you don't have to be anywhere top 10% to get that biglaw job. T14s are infinitely better for "jobs and stuff" and there is a shitload of empirical evidence to back that up. Sorry if reality offends the future TTTers of the world, but this caracature is stupid.
