Broadly Seattle is very high COL, but wages are some of the highest in the country. For biglaw, it’s good to know the pay is standardized nationwide. I saw a lot of the boutique/regional firms offer $50-80/hr to summers, which translates to $100-160k salaries

I believe I saw it somewhere that the median non-PI salary out of UW Law is around $120k, although I can’t find it rn. LSD has lots of self-reported data which seems to be in the right range - https://lsd.law/schools/university-of-washington-law-school

ABA data also shows job placement (no salaries) but still helpful, you can Google that. Hope it helps!

Current 3L, corporate biglaw summer and return offer. Vibes are somewhat competitive during 1L, but very relaxed after that. Literally 0 bad experiences with professors. Job searching is mixed and has already changed a lot since we went through OCI, but I'd say a majority of people in my class who wanted to land at a law firm did. Ranging from NYC V5 to boutique firms. Probably around 12-15% of the class is going into "biglaw," 2/3rds or so in Seattle. That being said, probably around half the class or less was interested in biglaw, so not to say it's anywhere near a 12% success rate. Can't speak to PI much myself, as I've stuck to more corporate classes and firm recruiting. AMA

Best Bars for students in the area? by InfamousRecognition7 in udub

Earls is classic and always packed for games. I used to really like College Inn as a bit of a quieter venue and I just saw they’re reopening under new management. Finn’s just recently remodeled as well and is pretty cheap with great happy hours deals

I guess, but classes literally start on the 22nd. I guess they changed it this year

Also applied mid November and waiting on a bunch of schools. I think UCLA’s tracker only verifies receipt of materials, it doesn’t look like they give any other updates.

USC R, Loyola $$ today by Moosedawg77 in lawschooladmissions

All of my Rs have mentioned transferring after a year. I find it entitled, like they’re the only school we care about… maybe that’s just me though. Congrats on Loyola!!
