@Mountaineer99: what do you think about Ohio vs emory
16:03
She was bitchy
pookiebear
16:03
how did it go
16:04
She said all they will do is look at the waitlist through out the summer up to mid august when orientation starts and she doesnt really know about the preference for the preferred waitlist or the regular one
@HurriedNippyPirate: Depends on your goals. I didn't apply to Emory because of COA and I'm not shooting for biglaw. If you're interested in practicing in the south and/or want better biglaw odds Emory is the better bet. I'm not dead set on a region and have some ohio ties despite being a GA resident so I'm going with OSU personally.
