AcademicWeapon01 '24–'25 app cycle Class of 2028 class year

Look at the employment outcomes, beyond self-selection, for the job that you want. For DC big law, the best appear to clearly be HYS, UVA, and GULC. For my personal situation, GULC made the most sense by far. I would have been upset if I were waitlisted there and had to attend another T14. There was a perfect storm of unique personal factors and 2025 cycle competitiveness which led me to play it safe and ED for such a strong target. I would personally do it again, but I would not recommend it for 99% of applicants in 99% of cycles.
