@winningest: i think so if you think about job placements. if you go to a regional school you can only really work in that region
eggan

like im prob going to fordham and that constricts me to NYC/tri state area. if i went to irvine id be constricted to california. but the T14s in those areas? you could work anywhere you want, whatever job you want, and you dont have to be magna cum laude or up to get those positions
eggan

also some unicorn PI like earthjustice are fairly lucrative for PI. which are only really attainable if you go to a T14 or reputable regional school (and work at the regional office in that area)
eggan

inb4 anyone argues with me, just look at the 509 reports for regional schools. they basically only place in the region

eggan
10:31

eggan
10:32

It seems so odd that lower ranked schools tend to region lock you though, it’s the only profession that really works like that I feel
