but it will be t20 for suresies
WashU has such good outcomes. Downside is you have to live in St. Louis lol

yeah it's a well respected school no matter what
Kentucky also has surprisingly great outcomes, though.

my friend is a 3L there and really likes it
I think I would really like it, but my wife hates big cities, so it's been really tricky to even convince her that I should apply to schools in big cities

@CheeseIsMyLoveLanguage: well said!!

@seventensplit: big law is in cities by its nature but going to a better ranked school has other advantages like the portability of your degree

If you want to switch practice locations a JD from a prestigious school makes that easier. If you want to switch legal fields a prestigious JD makes that easier.
@dubiously: Let's say my goal is to settle in Lexington, KY eventually. In that case do you think a degree from WashU is still preferable to a degree from UK? In my mind, if you are in St. Louis then you aren't making the Kentucky connections that will help you in your career
