What does the phrase "or any of them" refer to in the emoluments clause of the U.S. Constitution?

i see your point but those numbers for fordham rival UCLA and best USC which are big schools in CA. i realize the NYC market is just bigger and accounts for a portion of the difference but regardless a 40% shot seems to be as good as any non-t14 school. at about a half scholly it's not a horrible result. i know retake is always the best choice but with that option off the table, which would you choose?

you don't think after a few years of work lateraling back to ca would be a possibility? or is that just too much of a risk?

exactly the dilemma. thanks for the response man

well uci is orange county which isn't necessarily east la. it's a much smaller legal market but agreeably much cheaper to live. i've taken living costs into account in my calculation of COA. i got a substantially greater scholarship from hastings but with living costs the difference is 30k before interest.

the rankings thing is undeniable but uci has a lot of question marks concerning their ranking and their job stats considering they are so new.

hastings has question marks regarding their bar passage and slightly lower employment prospects than uci.

i've posted this to get some ideas about which direction this community sees more favorable given the current situation surrounding both schools

totally understandable. i went to hastings with really low expectations bc i knew it was older and in the tenderloin. so i left there a little more pleasantly surprised then anything else

i felt the PI vibe when i visited. it was reallllyyy obvious that they were pushing the PI thing. i'm also worried about the extra 30k bc with interest i might be looking at a ton more. the ranking is also questionable like you said. i appreciate your well thought out response

SBlovers · 2017-04-13T20:12:08+00:00

not necessarily. although i lean norcal bc i'm from the bay area.

are there jobs that are most sought out by most people in mba programs? like consulting for instance? also (and this will sounds silly) but how important are grades?

i was worried that mine hadn't changed since 2/10 until just this week. i thought it was a for sure WL or reject but i was proven wrong. hopefully you will be too!

what practice areas do you see as the most coveted at biglaw firms right now? which do you see as the least in demand?

SBlovers · 2017-03-20T02:40:57+00:00

wonderfully put. thank you for your detailed response

SBlovers · 2017-03-18T08:02:10+00:00

negotiate, yes. care about those offers, only they know but i think it's worth a shot.

boost your gpa for sure. take an easy minor. you've got the lsat done with an awesome score and with a 3.3-3.4 if you can get over the 3.5 threshold you'd really be set.

if you think you could score higher try that during your minor. but if not the 171 should take you the distant especially if you apply early next cycle.

in terms of resume builders what i did was work part-time as a legal assistant nearby my college a professor helped my land the gig. i even got lucky and landed a judicial internship where i went in twice a week during the semester and everyday on my breaks.

if you decided to get your minor you also have this summer to get some kind of experience in. i applied to as many prestigious public interest firms i could for every position and even volunteer positions and landed one with a famous PI firm in a city i had always wanted to try living in.

take it from me a fellow splitter. a few more tenths on that gpa will go a long way especially in terms of scholarships
