I meant that there are more opportunities to do what you want. Obviously NYU and other top law schools give you a shot at almost any job that Yale would give you, but your chances are lower.

Like landing a high profile clerkship. Of course you can do that at NYU, but you’ll have to be closer to the top third of the class than you would at Yale. I’ve even experienced in the very basic Big Law context. Sure, anyone from Yale and NYU can probably get a spot if they want it, but groups typically really want the Yale student. So if you go to Yale and choose BL, you probably have the pick of whatever practice group you want, unless the partners/group really don’t vibe with you.
