@eyeofthetiger: No, no school is worth $450k just for law school, to me. But you do you, if that choice is yours to make, do what is best for you!

@Blumenkraft: According to the test creators (LSAC) nothing. However, people are taking the test, 3-5 times and therefore practicing and hence scoring much higher than in the past.
Blumenkraft
20:57
Hmmmmmmm. Okay

@eyeofthetiger: what type of law do you want to practice cus you only really practice corporate out of columbia.
Blumenkraft
20:58
Is there an analysis on the marginal returns of 170+ scores?
Blumenkraft
20:59
Regarding acceptance/scholarship rates^

I’d probably do corporate right out of law school tbh… but I’m assuming the diff between CLS and Mich when it comes to big law access is negligible anyways?
KnowledgeableProductiveMongrel
21:02
check law school transparency but I work for a CLS attorney right now and they would say columbia over michigan.
KnowledgeableProductiveMongrel
21:03
yeah cls national law firm 75% michigan 58%. Could make a difference and then a difference in quality of job. Hard to tell. If your dream is CLS I would probably take the debt and go there. Just gotta be certain you don't mind paying money back.

KnowledgeableProductiveMongrel

KnowledgeableProductiveMongrel
21:04

eyeofthetiger
21:05
Ahhh wait sorry but what would you say about like CLS vs a school like UVA/Penn? Is the gap closer there or is CLS still significantly better?
eyeofthetiger
21:07
@KnowledgeableProductiveMongrel: a full ride at Chicago oml
dubiously
21:11
UVA and Penn are better than CLS
eyeofthetiger
21:12
oh?!! I stand corrected loll
KnowledgeableProductiveMongrel
21:33
Penn is the worst out of the three. CLS and UVA are much better. Idk would have to kook at stats again.
KnowledgeableProductiveMongrel
21:34
I pick off regions, clerkships, and corporate law.
Blumenkraft

Is it a bad idea to apply in January/Februaryish instead of a couple months earlier? If so, why
KnowledgeableProductiveMongrel
21:45
Depends on the stats but generally yeah. A lot of spots are taken.
Blumenkraft
22:09

Blumenkraft
22:10

KnowledgeableProductiveMongrel
22:48
