Date: June 2nd, 2006 9:27 PM Author: Razzle-dazzle Fortuitous Meteor Cruise Ship fuck. i am sitting with 10 people counting everyone we know. public school pwn3d. :-(
how the hell can we claim the % employed at graduation that we do? do we only count respondents or something? we not only overenrolled in 2003, but we brought in TRANSFERS to exacerbate the situation. horrible. HORRIBLE.

Date: June 2nd, 2006 9:40 PM Author: Razzle-dazzle Fortuitous Meteor Cruise Ship first off, i am certain we don't have everyone. second, michigan had 95% employed at graduation in the last us news. i'll be interested to see what we claim next year.
the transfer thing is what really pisses people off. if you overenroll, fuck the transfers. |
|
Date: June 2nd, 2006 9:42 PM Author: Excitant School Cafeteria Clown 40 seems like a lot...are you sure?
And i doubt the transfers take away jobs from other mich students.
in an economy as strong as this one, it must be their own fault if htey are unemployed. |

Date: June 2nd, 2006 9:43 PM Author: wild tank Transfers are generally top 10%, so they're highly sought after. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=426900&forum_id=2#5897372) |

Date: June 2nd, 2006 9:48 PM Author: Excitant School Cafeteria Clown yeah, but they'd get teh same jobs no matter where they went to school. and they dont knock down 2ls gpa's/class rank, cuz they aren't part of the 1l class for grade purposes.

Date: June 3rd, 2006 3:04 AM Author: hot big ticket booth such is life. if law schools, and schools generally, told the truth about employment prospects post-graduation, their incoming class sizes would shrink considerably, leading to a complete stoppage of our economy, and even more tragically, time. you'd wake up in 50 years and realize that you were still a tang drinkin', mealy mouthed ape from texas. that ain't something i'm lookin' forward to.

|
Date: June 2nd, 2006 10:00 PM Author: Razzle-dazzle Fortuitous Meteor Cruise Ship overenrollment + transfers. as i see it, the problem is that employers arrive prepared to hire X amount of michigan students. if students enrolled is Y, students unemployed is Y-X. if Y increases by about 60 (overenrollment + transfers)...
i concede things are probably better now though. |

Date: June 2nd, 2006 10:00 PM Author: wild tank Come on unbear, you can give more insightful analysis than that. You know these people. Speculate as to why they're unemployed. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=426900&forum_id=2#5897514) |

Date: June 3rd, 2006 2:48 AM Author: Primrose chad I really dont think this explains the whole situation. Its not like the Michigan degree is less valuable to you guys than it is to those from the years before and after you. Firms still respect the name and generally want to hire Michigan students. Its not like there is a Michigan 2006 grad at every decent firm that has hired Michigan students in the past, or that there is a quota of Michigan students each market can take each year that was too small to accommodate the 2006 class.
I can definitely see how class size hurt your class during 2L OCI in the way you explain (limited interviewers, limitted interview slots, equal universe of firms to get offers from, and 10-15% more students looking for interviews and offers, etc). But as far as the post-OCI sending out of resumes and all that? I just don't see it playing THAT big a role. I've heard stories of multiple people in your year with grades above the median who couldnt find any jobs. That's inexplicable. No Michigan class has ever experienced that and size doesn't explain it.
From our year, I know only 1 person who wanted a firm job and couldnt get one--and there were extenuating circumstances. And by all accounts, the 1L class did amazingly well in 1L firm gig hiring. I also never heard complaints from the '05 grads. Clearly, this is a problem largely isolated to the 2006 class for whatever reason. Is it bad luck? A socially awkward group of people who interview poorly? Too many people focused on one or two major markets, thus failing to spread out and find all the firms looking to hire Michigan grads? Something else? I have no idea. But its more than just raw class size. |

Date: June 3rd, 2006 2:56 AM Author: Excitant School Cafeteria Clown i find it particularly odd that OP suggested that, because a person with a 3.4+ couldn't get a job (that would qualify for HONORS), that means taht something is wrong with the school.
i'm sorry, but if you are set to graduate with honors and can't manage to secure an offer, YOU are the problem, and NOT the school. |

Date: June 3rd, 2006 12:58 PM Author: Excitant School Cafeteria Clown yeah...god forbid that a student be expected to read the wall street journal for a few weeks before OCI...apparently even that is too much to expect. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=426900&forum_id=2#5900626) |

Date: June 6th, 2006 9:06 PM Author: Razzle-dazzle Fortuitous Meteor Cruise Ship "Its not like the Michigan degree is less valuable to you guys than it is to those from the years before and after you."
- we're discussing OCI from 2004 -- i don't see the relevance of classes in 2003 and 2005 on the situation.
"No Michigan class has ever experienced that and size doesn't explain it."
- how could you possibly know this?
"I have no idea. But its more than just raw class size."
- it seems strange you would simultaneously have no idea what the actual cause of the problem is, and yet be certain my assessment is inadequate.
