With CLS placing 80% of its class in BigLaw SA and ~40% into top firms, DPW, Debevoise etc. does it make sense to go at sticker (77k/ yr). No real other options outside of law (history ugrad)?. 75k at NU. 30k at Penn. 30k at NYU. Leaning toward NYU but I haven't seen how they did at OCI.ike the vibe of Grenwhich Village more plus 30k less loans accruing at 8% is really like 35-40k discount. What to do?

The market is still shitty. CLS is placing 80% but it used to be damn near 100%. All the T14 used be like that.

You'll probably get big law, the ones striking out are mostly people who have zero self preservation impulses. They bid stupid, don't hustle, etc etc.

The problem is compensation. Associates make less than they did in 2007 by a lot. That's not even factoring in inflation. AND cost of schooling is growing still.

At CLS you will have well over 250K in debt by the time you graduate. If you pay that shit off over 10 years, you are talking like 36K per year in loan payments. That's after tax money. You won't have a positive net worth for 5-10 years. That sucks bro.

Take NW if you want to do it. You have virtually the same chances of getting big law (but a lot less chances at elite firms).

As a t6 sticker 3L with biglaw lined up, I kind of wish I had gone to Cornell or NW with a scholarship. I will graduate with about 120k in loans (SA money+family help), so it's not that bad. But graduating with 200k loans at 7% interest only to make 160-170k a year isn't really that great of a deal.

This is the perfect year to go to law school. LSAT test takers are down; applications from elite LSAT test takers are down even more. Schools are desperate for warm bodies and are way over-paying scholarship money for numbers that exceed medians or 75%. To top it off, many will have shrunken classes and easily accept transfer students next year. Finally, entering now means you graduate in 2015, and it's not a bad gamble to look at employment prospects for that year--especially as it will probably be the smallest entering law class in a decade.
