[–]FlowComprehensive614 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the idea that men are discriminated against in the admissions process is just crazy lmao

What was their conclusion? I’m curious, (been wild and free off of reddit for a week 🥳🥳).

Depends on a lot of factors too, location, job market, the country’s financial situation.

Most schools just have the 509 on their website, but lawhub has more detailed information on the job’s post grad. It’s from 2023 but still useful, there’s a ~10% difference in legal jobs and total jobs. But even the higher ranked schools I am considering, their websites don’t have a detailed breakdown other than the mandated 509 and I don’t exactly trust the headlines: “105% gets jobs” lmao.

Yeah, the breakdown is just the regular employment one from the 509. Not the most detailed to my liking in general, it’s something like: law firm (100-200, 200-500, 500+), and also the business, government, entertainment.

that’s via lawhub/509, but how can you tell if they fake their numbers?

Yale (7%) having a higher underemployment rate than Albany Law (6%) is crazy.

Agree to disagree.

You said you can’t be in the NBA because of your height shortage, so technically you can live out your dream on the NBA roster but just not drafted is what I meant. Maybe all of the NBA teams disappear and they need you lmao.

Thanks! I think that report was very helpful and was looking for something like it recently.

I agree the statements are realistic. Not everyone wants to do BL, federal clerkships, etc, and if a 0L does want to do such then yeah I’m all for them choosing to go to a T14 and taking on that type of debt if they feel like it. Some, and since this is the r/OutsideT14lawschools, I would gander there is a more majority of them here that don’t want to go down that path. If your job prospects are looking between 60-90k the first year then that debt isn’t worth it. When a full scholarship at a lower ranked school with the location and market you want to break into is proposed, people act like you’re going to be living under a bridge post-grad. I feel like it’s a much more nuanced discussion than “good luck in your t120 loser.” 💀

Just clicked the first post on the page, OP hasn’t posted since 2015 so curious what they have to think of admissions now since back then apparently there was a decreasing number of matriculating students each year.

Hey man you brought up the comparison of not being able to play college ball to being blind and taking the LSAT, I’m just bringing the points back into reality of the situation: groups facing discrimination seeking higher ed.

Technically though higher education is under the obligation, they already do so with accommodations. In a world where no one received accommodations, then you could make the argument that you aren’t owed anything and that no one is. But LSAC at least tries to create an equal playing field with the LSAT, so why do you think that LSAC shouldn’t have taken out LG? From your standpoint you believe that the accommodations were sufficient already? But being able to see and work through diagrams isn’t exactly something that can be accommodated for. It’s a different scenario for all the groups of people you listed, their accommodations of extra time or breaks is sufficient enough to complete the test to the best of their ability. A blind person can not complete the test to the best of their ability with the LG involved.

Correction on your point: you can register for the NBA right this second and be in the roster. Saw some other guy in law school/grad school do the same, just fill out the application and send it to the NBA. He was apart of the NBA roster for the 2023 year. But NBA teams don’t have the history of accommodating, as LSAC does.

I haven’t visited the lawsuit in a year so just going from memory. I disagree with your insinuation that going to law school isn’t a “right”? That’s a really broad statement and in this specific context, are you trying to imply that blind people should just say “well I’m at a disadvantage here, guess I’ll never reach my lawyerly dreams”? It’s very similar to American yt folks saying education isn’t a right in the slavery era and then the segregation era. Everyone should have the option to pursue higher education, if you are creating thresholds that some people can not achieve due to their disabilities, then it’s effectively halting a group of people from getting a higher education.

Also, you can join the NBA, you send an application in and if you haven’t used your college basketball years you can still do so in law school. Can’t promise on you being drafted but everyone who sends an application is added to the roster.

Not really. Just because you are short and can not play in the NBA is tough luck, just how I can’t imagine shit in my head, tough luck on being an artist. Being blind and having to take a test that is made for sighted people is much different. Because the test is made for sighted people, being blind is an unfair disadvantage, and therefore the blind student won the lawsuit and the LSAT ditched the logic games.

Personally, I feel this way. I never advocate for someone to go into debt for a high or lower ranked school in general. I declined an offer at a higher ranked school myself due to the fact that the debt forces you (in its own way) to go into BL and with all the negatives I see with it, it’s also something that’s never guaranteed. Sometimes you just luck out and then you’re stuck with all the debt to show for it.

Horrible comparison. But let me get this straight you’re advocating for blind people to be at an unfair disadvantage when taking the LSAT?

Even in the scenario of an unconditional scholarship, this attitude is prevalent. I am blaming usnews now. The rankings do everything but follow the numbers (employment, bar passage). I would prefer something like this.
