I am also struggling with this question. I think scholarship, job placement rate, city should be the factors that you consider.
-
@"Alex Divine" Hey broski, now my choice is down to Vandy and BU since I am not into IP law. I found BU and Vandy have similar job placement rate but Vandy's NLJ ranking is a bit lower than that of BU. That's what makes me nervous. Since I am going …

@"nessa.k13.0" whoa, this is right to the point. I am gonna do it now. I want to practice corporate law. That is why my decision is down to BU and Vandy. Vandy is gonna get back to me regarding the amount of scholarship (will be determined in late F…

@DumbHollywoodActor, damn, you still remember me, how touching it is!!! I love both BU and Vandy. I am going to BU this weekend. I will absolutely arrange another trip to Nashville. Vandy's NLJ ranking seems lower than that of BU, which is why I sti…

@ehazoury, I place BU and Vandy over GW as well cause I am not interested in IP law. I still prefer to practice law near NY, MA market (may be DC, not so sure). I think now it is boiled down to which city I like more. Thank you for your advice.

I download an app called "Tuneln Radio," where you can listen to a lot of supreme court debates there. I think listening to those debates can also help you improve your sense of argument.

Hey man, I had similar experience right after I completed the CC. I would recommend that you print out a new PT for doing BR. Looking at your original answers might negatively impact you cause you might not want to admit that you made a mistake (Eve…

@stgl1230, holy shit, you are right!!! I want to practice corporate law, specializing in merger and acquisition. I am going to check them out now.
-
@dennisgerrard, I found logical reasoning section most helpful.
-
I had very similar experience even after I finished CC. I would recommend the LSAT Trainer as a supplement.
-
@dennisgerrard, I prepared LSAT for roughly 1 year and a half. I am actually not proud of it cause it took so long.
-
@Alejandro, yep. In Philosophy courses, we get to read very difficult materials and arguments.
-
@stgl1230 I received offer from Vanderbilt Law today. Geez, this decision-making is getting tougher.
-
@accountformerlyknowasvd1988 , law school is just a new beginning. T-14 does matter. But I disagree with the saying that if you fall out of T14, then you are doomed. After all, your hard work and connections also matter to you getting a good job. I …

Right now, the fastest acceptance letter is 3 weeks away from I submitted my applications, which were to GW law and William and Mary law. BU law and Emory law took roughly 1 month and a half. I am still waiting for Berkeley, UCLA, Vanderbilt, and Ge…

Yes, you need it for sure! At least that is my experience.

@Alejandro said: @jyang72 I agree with your assessment! I also had Econ as a major major and Philosophy as a minor in college. Great choice!! Great minds think alike For real? Did you minor in Philosophy to help you to read and write bett…

@Snowball said: I work for a D.C. think tank. I'm so sick and tired of the D.C. politics. I will head for the west coast for law school this fall... I know this is not helpful...I just feel compelled to add another miserable aspect of D.C.:) B…

@xqr1s4f3ed , GW has high big law placement rate, but a chunk of them goes to IP law. The problem with me is that I have an Econ degree and philosophy minor in undergraduate. My major does not fit IP law. If I can't pursue IP law, I am really worrie…
-
@stgl1230. Thank you so much for your insight. I felt like GW is living in the shadow of GT. I mean in the future I still want to practice law in the NYC. Fordham can be a good choice for me, but the problem is BU has given me scholarship while Ford…
-
@Alejandro, any comment is helpful for me, no worries!! DC is a wonderful city that is full of opportunities. However, I saw that BU has higher biglaw placement rate, bar passing rate, and job placement rate. Anyway, I decide to go visit BU next wee…
-
@JustDoIt, thank you so much for your insight. However, I checked the NLJ ranking, and I found out that BU's biglaw placement rate is higher than that of GW. I am not so sure where I want to practice law. That's why I am struggling between BU and GW…
-
@stgl1230 , that is very good to know. Thank you again!!
-
BTW, how is law school transparent? Is this a good website to use?
-
@loosekanen you are absolutely right. I do not have science background. I don't think patent is a good option for me.

@"Harvey specter" , holy shit!!!!

@SherryS1 Thank you!!

@JPAI_UBC , I set my middle name as "spector" to honor the lawyer character that I admire, if you know what I mean

@dantlee14, it is always helpful to hear the other side of opinion. I am curious about what makes the life miserable in DC. The amount of working hours? The people near you? Thank you !!!
