Hi. I am new poster and just looking for a little insight on what my chances/ target schools should be. 3.5/ 165 and three years of work experience. 1 year as a paralegal in NYC, fairly prestigious firm. 2 years of working at NPO coordinating charitable events. I hope to do prosecution. So biglaw is not an issue. Average softs in college- if not sub par. White male. Planning on a retake. However, with my current numbers this is where I would apply:
BC:
William and Mary:
U Conn:
Wake Forest:
Villanova:
UNC (OOS):
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Eh, I'm thinking Boston, DC, or Philly would be great. But, I'm not totally optimistic about my job chances in these markets with my numbers. Basically, the Northeast/ Southeast. In addition to this, I had mentioned earlier I am interested in prosecution, so hopefully Boston, Philly, Queens/Bronx/Manhattan/ Brooklyn DA's offices. And if by some miracle I am in the top 5% of my class DOJ.

I am aiming for 170. But, with my work schedule I'm getting a little burned out on the studying. Do you think NW have the national reputation to carry me back to the N/E? And would I have to ED?

If you are interested in Philly, why not Temple?? You probably could get some money there with your numbers

Yea, that's a great idea. Hopefully I could establish residency after they first year. I wasn't too sure if I'd be a candidate for scholly's there.Thanks.nit00 wrote:If you are interested in Philly, why not Temple?? You probably could get some money there with your numbers

Yeah, I think anecdotally, Temple is better than Nova for Philly...deadhipsters wrote:Yea, that's a great idea. Hopefully I could establish residency after they first year.

I think it's hard to establish residency for Temple after the first year. If I remember, it is based on your residency status one year prior to the time of acceptance. However, If you check out LSN, it looks like people with your numbers were getting about 12K/year in scholarship money (not sure what the stipulations on it are). Temple's tuition is pretty cheap OOS anyways, I think like 30K/year.
