NYU TRANSFERS: I hate you all

You're citing one study that you haven't read, and which studied LSAT and GPA data top to bottom. I would like to see a study of those students with a gpa at least .1 over and an LSAT at least 1 point over the 75th, that's all. |

I have to say, the Sexual Chocolate poster is a bit annoying. All of a sudden he seems to think he's god's gift to the planet because he got into NYU. |

Date: August 21st, 2005 12:27 PM Author: talented jewess business firm you seem to the one who comes off with a sense of entitlement. So you did well in your first 6-7 classes of LS. Do you really think it relates to how you will perform as a lawyer. This game just keeps starting over and maybe next time you wont come out doing so hot.
|
|
Date: August 21st, 2005 12:32 PM Author: vigorous embarrassed to the bone location Not a sense of entitlement - a sense of accomplishment. I'm proud of what I achieved and where I am going. I look forward to working my ass off at NYU and at my firm when I get there.
"So you did well in your first 6-7 classes of LS. Do you really think it relates to how you will perform as a lawyer."
Well, both the law school and the firms certainly do. I defer to their judgment on the matter.
I d not think I deserve anything more than the respect accorded to any reguler NYU student. In no way do I deserve to be shit on by some mediocre NYU student, who probably would have been mediocre at any law school he went to. |

|
Date: August 21st, 2005 12:49 PM Author: talented jewess business firm no, what you are saying is that you are better than the normal (read: average 3.1-3.2) NYU student. That is something we'll never know.

Date: August 21st, 2005 12:35 PM Author: galvanic giraffe I think a certain sense of entitlement is okay when you paid $35K to your school for 1L.

|
Date: August 21st, 2005 12:37 PM Author: vigorous embarrassed to the bone location Your $35K on entitles you to the bargain you struck with the school. Nothing more, nothing less. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=244385&forum_id=2#3645050) |
|
Date: August 22nd, 2005 8:56 AM Author: razzmatazz shivering athletic conference trailer park The whole popint of the GPA LSAT measure is to determine success in law school. If a student does particularly well in law school, there's absolutely no fucking reason he or she shouldn't trasnfer up if the school wants them.
This whole thread started as a whiny "this is my turf" post. If someone has a problem with transfers, they should talk to their admissions departm,ent or find a school that doesn't allow many.

You had TTT grades and ended up at an inferior school. You excelled against inferior competition, and now want all the benefits of an NYU degree without having to compete for them 1st year (and as anyone will agree, the only year that matters) against real NYU students. |
|
Date: August 21st, 2005 11:54 AM Author: Bull headed wonderful round eye abode agreed. No one cares how many offers you're getting. You'll always be looked down upon by your fellow students. Riding our coattails, eh? hth. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=244385&forum_id=2#3644791) |

But well enough to get the same offers (taking into account the fact that firms will dig deeper into the class at our new school)? Most likely, yes.

|
Date: August 22nd, 2005 9:03 AM Author: razzmatazz shivering athletic conference trailer park Quit being a cocksucker. This T14 bullshit is the most tired fucking thing on this board. Getting into NYU rather than Fordham doesn't mean you're going to be a better lawyer. If your attitude reeks of this kind of pussy one-upmanship, interviewers and coworkers are going to detect it.
For the fiftieth time I refer everyone to the Dale and Krueger studies on top schools versus good state schools. No difference in earnings for similar credentialed students except for black males. PERIOD. Those of you who think you're wheels are pre-greased because you took the seventy thousand in debt over the free ride at a lower-ranked school are in for a rude awakening. |
|
Date: August 22nd, 2005 11:22 AM Author: Splenetic appetizing azn Krueger was for undergrad, though, not grad and professional schools
There is a very big difference. Elitism in law schools is pompous and can get annoying after a while. The actual quality in education you'll get is little different if not inferior.
But there is a very big difference when it comes to job prospects, which is almost always the sole reason a person would transfer from Fordham to NYU - I'm not saying you should like it. I'm not even saying it's a good thing. But people are going 70k in debt for much less prestigious private law schools - when they plop down that money, people shouldn't hedge/it ought to be made clear to them just how big a difference the school means. |
|
Date: August 22nd, 2005 1:36 PM Author: razzmatazz shivering athletic conference trailer park Tell me where I can find the job prospect info. I'm not being a prick, I just want to see it. I know that schools differ in employment at graduation quite a bit, but the argument by D and K isn't about schools not differing in quality.
I am trying to figure out exactly how big of a difference exists.
Still, Dale and Krueger aren't so much discussing differences in schools as differences in applicants. If a 3.7 170 takes a full-ride at Loyola rather than admission to a T14, will they make less money over a career?
My gut says no, but I'd love to be shown contradicting information.
|
|
Date: August 22nd, 2005 1:41 PM Author: Gaped Philosopher-king Start a thread on this and someone will give you the info you want. Almost nobody is going to see this request burried in this thread.
Law school and undergrad are NOTHING alike when it comes to the significance of the school you attended. |
|
Date: August 22nd, 2005 1:52 PM Author: Ruby Multi-billionaire Except that's not what Dale and Krueger say. When you group schools into tiers based on prestige, a guy with a 1500 SAT score attending the top prestige tier will have higher earnings than another guy with a 1500 SAT score attending a lower prestige tier. The only time there is no difference between the 1500 scorers is if you group schools based on SAT medians instead, which isn't how anyone ranks schools because a lot of TTT LACs that no one has heard of have SAT medians higher than even some Ivies. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=244385&forum_id=2#3652362) |
|
Date: August 22nd, 2005 1:49 PM Author: Ruby Multi-billionaire Actually, if you read the full text of the Dale and Krueger study, you'll see that there is no difference in earnings when you group schools based on SAT medians, BUT there is a significant difference in earnings even among similarly credentialed students when you group schools based on prestige.

People who had 3.8's and 171's from Harvard go into schools like CCN and get PWN3D, much less students of Fordham quality. |

|
Date: August 21st, 2005 12:01 PM Author: galvanic giraffe I don't think it's too much of a stretch to say that every student at NYU is really smart. Of course this no doubt applies to all the students at Yale, Harvard, Stanford, Columbia, Chicago, Michigan, Penn, UVA, etc.....

|
Date: August 21st, 2005 12:05 PM Author: galvanic giraffe If you mean they also suck, probably have no common sense, and definitely have no social skills, this is also true.
It's just annoying when someone who gets top grades at a lower ranked school is so sure that he would've done as well at NYU.
|
|
Date: August 21st, 2005 12:07 PM Author: Charismatic Stag Film Puppy Ok we agree completely. on the first topic.
second - no knowledge for opinion. |

You've got to be kidding. Never mind the fact that you're competing against an inferior group of students on a forced curve. |

Date: August 21st, 2005 12:04 PM Author: Hairraiser black toaster If this SexualChocolate fella ends up with a better firm job than you after EIW (OCI, whatever), then he played the game of life better than you did. Simple as that. If you had busted your ass a little more and gotten better 1L grades you wouldn't be complaining.
SexualChocolate may very well have been able to go to NYU as a 1L, but instead of going up against the best and brightest, he chose to be a big fish in a smaller pond. He assessed the odds and took a gamble. If he gets the job of his dreams and your left "settling" for an offer you really don't want.....He wins. You lose. Game over.
Stop crying about it, and lose your blinding sense of entitlement. It's unbecoming of a T6 law student, and its the reason why most people hate elistist, self-aggrandizing lawyers. |
|
Date: August 21st, 2005 12:06 PM Author: Titillating university doctorate SC couldnt go to NYU.
If I remember correctly, he was on the damn waitlist at Fordham. Dont give me that big fish in a small pond garbage.
"Stop crying about it, and lose your blinding sense of entitlement."
No, but most people hate snakes. |

It's ridiculous that they do OCI as NYU law students despite not taking a single NYU law class. It's ridiculous that the administration reserves more OCI slots for them than they do for regular law students. It's ridiculous that they take law review spots from NYU law students.

Agreed

"At top schools (like T6), many of the transfers are coming from other top schools T14-25, where the difference in LSAT can be as small as 2-3 points."
can be, but usually isn't. I obviously don't have a link or anything to back this up, but from the initial yield stats, I'd be stunned if the average person from a 14-25 school was generally admitted earlier to the place that they transfered to.
2. "Most top law schools only pick the "super stars" at other law schools, or -- like Harvard or Yale"
Actually not anymore, at least with Harvard. They're increasing their transfer size by a lot. They may say it's just people who had stats to get in to begin with, but from the specfic examples I've heard of I find that hard to believe.
Also, Columbia allegedly took 80 people last year. (That's one thing I should add, the # of transfers is grouped with the non-matrics. Our admin sucks and I wouldn't put it past them to copy what Columbia did last year, but the stat listed for 2004, 74, was higher than the number that actually transfered to the school - The # for this year will also include visiting students.)
[From Earlier]
3. Law Review
Law Review actually doesn't take that many transfers compared to their numbers at the school. Correct me if I'm wrong, but in the past I thought it was like just a couple people.
4. SC
I don't have anything against transfers and from the friends of mine I know who transferred to the school, I'm aware of absolutely zero tensions between them and the rest of the students on campus. SC has been acting pompous lately. Best of luck to you; I hope you have a good time on campus; and, nah, I had to admit, you aren't going to steal any job I would have had. That said, and I mean this as a serious piece of advice-don't assume you'll do the same on tests as at Fordham, don't talk about your grades on a regular basis, and don't knock classmates if they go to a lower firm than you. If you were to do all that (and nobody knew you were a transfer) you would still catch flack from the other people in class.
5. # of OCI slots
Is it really that big a difference? If it's your goal to get a bunch of OCI slots, you can easily wind up with above 40 if you include the stuff you'll get from a waitlist.
6. As at other places compared to here
Firms will know someone transferred and that they got their grades from somewhere else. There are places that won't care and will prefer to take someone with As who will also have NYU on their resume. If you want to change it, the reason that this would be a problem, though, has as much to do with the School's curve as its transfer policy. |

Thanks. I personally don't think I have been acting pompous as of late, but I suppose there are people out there who might think so.

A 3.17 is decidely average, but fuck it, he's at NYU. He didnt have to work hard, unlike people from TTT's. Isnt that the main reason people go to the better school? |
|
Date: August 21st, 2005 12:21 PM Author: galvanic giraffe I think the concept of a forced curve is lost on a lot of people. Given the quality of student at NYU and how hard so many people work, it's not exactly shameful to end up in the bottom half of the class. It's certainly not indicative of the fact that one should have gone to a TTT.
It would be interesting to see transfer's 2L grades..... |
|
Date: August 21st, 2005 12:23 PM Author: Titillating university doctorate 2L grades are irrelevant. You know as well as I that if you pick your classes right, you can inflate your GPA. In most classes, the competitive edge just isnt there.
Given where firms go in the Fordham class as oppossed to NYU, I think at least they understand the concept of a forced curve. |
|
Date: August 21st, 2005 12:25 PM Author: galvanic giraffe That's not really true about the competitive edge, I found. 2L grades are not irrelevant.

How do you know you're not competing for the same firms?
Even if you're not, there could very well be a displacement effect -- the people who otherwise would've gotten offers at Cravath had it not been for you and other transfers now end up at, say, Cleary, and people who would've otherwise gotten offers at Cleary now end up at Jones Day, and so on. |

Yes, people who shell out $40k in tuition and have the numbers to get in to NYU deserve to have the career office go to bat for them before others. Yes, there is a forced curve, meaning it is significantly easier to climb to the top of your class at Fordham. If you think a 3.6 at Fordham means you were born with the right stuff to succeed comparably anywhere, you've benefited from living in a bubble where professors lavish praise on you due to your lackluster competition. The notion that, due to some weird quota system, Fordham transfers are treated better by the carreer office than NYU natives should infuriate the natives.
That said, nobody should hold SC's transfer admission against him. He has benefited from gaming an imperfect system. More power to him.
People should get to bitch about the system but should be able to congratulate SC.
SC should take pride in skipping a year of NYU's tuition and trouncing the competition at Fordham. He should also sympathise with those who feel as if the career office and adcom do not have their interests at heart. |

I know a girl w/a similar GPA who got 27 interviews. Another poster here w/the same GPA got 20, and he bid on a lot of firms that are only doing 1-2 schedules.

Stop bitching already!
If you hate transfers, then don't go to a school that allows them (let me know when you find that out). Since NYU is known to have a big class and a big transfer class, you knew people from lower ranked school with high grades were going to be coming into the class before hand (or you should have, maybe you are a dumbass after all)
You could have picked a top school with a lower transfer class, otherwise you picked your poison and just STFU
