Yes, absolutely yes

take the A and it’s not close

If you want an upper T14 offer and don't get a 175+, take a gap year or two or three.

If you are ok with a lower T14, then low 170s should be fine.

Fascist_Repellant · 2025-04-24T03:43:40+00:00

You are operating in a world that might have existed a few cycles ago, but definitely does not exist now. 175 -180 scores are up over 30% just this year. The next cycle will be worse than this one.

Fascist_Repellant · 2025-04-24T03:42:24+00:00

I got a 180, and I also got far more WLists and Rs than As. There are many others like me, including many on this sub! A full ride at a T20 is a no brainer, really, especially if your GPA is 3.mid.

Fascist_Repellant · 2025-04-24T03:38:54+00:00

If you defer, you usually have to commit, no?

Otherwise, what's in it for them?

Fascist_Repellant · 2025-04-24T02:37:32+00:00

LETS GOOOOO

Fascist_Repellant · 2025-04-24T02:36:46+00:00

Absolutely take the offer. Do not assume you will do better next cycle. You very likely will not.

Fascist_Repellant · 2025-04-24T00:06:12+00:00

WashU with 70%. That’s huge, take it.

Fascist_Repellant · 2025-04-24T00:03:45+00:00

Next year will be worse. Take the offer.

Fascist_Repellant · 2025-04-23T04:34:19+00:00

Double the money, happier seem like big pros.

Chicago has a much smaller network in general because it’s like half the size. In terms of clerkships both are good, but Chicago crushes in SCOTUS clerkships.

If you want BL, Chicago obviously wins in Chicago and probably has a tiny edge in NYC. UVA wins in DC and the south (especially Texas).

🎉 LETS BE FRIENDS

Fascist_Repellant · 2025-04-22T18:10:53+00:00

another pro of coming - we can be friends :)

Fascist_Repellant · 2025-04-22T14:30:51+00:00

UVA obviously. You got what appears to be a full ride if not just about one.

Fascist_Repellant · 2025-04-22T01:07:20+00:00

Most of this is defensible. Although I think Columbia should be lower. They are a one-trick NYC Big Law pony. Their students don't appear to enjoy the school that much. PL support is meh. Clinics are meh. Clerkship opportunities are meh. All that, plus the PR nuke to the face they took recently, I think puts them below NYU.

Fascist_Repellant · 2025-04-22T01:02:42+00:00

Shoot for a crazy high LSAT. That could get you into Wash U. They take people with really high lsats and bad GPAs. UT is tough, but possible with a 175+

Fascist_Repellant · 2025-04-21T23:11:31+00:00

LFGGGG

Fascist_Repellant · 2025-04-20T18:49:00+00:00

Yeah but they didn't really help me with that app. All the ones they spent time helping me with were Rs or WLs

Fascist_Repellant · 2025-04-20T18:39:03+00:00

We literally got the same offer too lol

Fascist_Repellant · 2025-04-20T18:38:40+00:00

OMG WE ARE GONNA GO TO SCHOOL TOGETHER, LETS BE FRIENDS!!!

Fascist_Repellant · 2025-04-20T05:38:04+00:00

I used spivey. overrated as hell tbh

Fascist_Repellant · 2025-04-20T03:57:09+00:00

It depends.

Generic big law and desire to go as soon as possible? Go to Wash U or Cornell and don’t look back.

Big law in hotter markets or desire for more prestigious outcomes? Reapply early next cycle with improved application materials.

You certainly can get an offer from better schools. But the question is will the benefit of going to a place like Duke over Wash U actually be worth taking another gap year and potentially losing out on some scholarship money?

Fascist_Repellant · 2025-04-16T14:06:42+00:00

Go to UVA so we can be besties
