surely cornell positions you for a clerkship better than notre dame?

MightyUnableSphinx

13:42

maybe not by like

MightyUnableSphinx

13:42

a huge amount but like?

ClerkHopeful

13:42

no

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

13:42

Not really Cornell is pretty bad for clerkships

MightyUnableSphinx

13:42

huh

MightyUnableSphinx

13:42

what you are wanting to do would be very difficult for me to do tbh

MightyUnableSphinx

13:43

but if you know what you want, then what you want to do makes 100% perfect crystal clear sense

Cornell is a biglaw factory

ClerkHopeful

cornell def has a stronger network on the east coast and that's where id like to able to practice eventually but... it feels wrong and Notre dame feels right

jb2028

13:45

Cornell's "eventually clerk" number is 20%. It's not as high as some other schools (their "eventually clerk" % is also higher than the "right after graduation" figure) but not super different from other T14s either

jb2028

Per: https://www.lawschool.cornell.edu/careers/judicial-clerkships/

Jb can I do California big law from cornell

jb2028

13:52

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: Hard to say for sure. CA is Cornell's #3 destination (per https://www.lawschool.cornell.edu/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/EQSummaryReport-4-3-2024.pdf), but that's a small share of the class - 8 grads out of 174 compared to 111 in New York. Probably some self-selection (a lot of people looking at NYC biglaw), but you'd likely need to get good grades and put serious effort into networking. Not a layup like Cornell to NYC.

Did NYU have another E wave yesterday?

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

13:53

Okay thank you for the detailed explanation. Looks like NYC it is. Betting on 8 out of 174 is hubris

jb2028

13:58

Worth noting it's probably not 8 out of 174 people with CA as their goal - if someone goes to Cornell, they're almost certainly interested in NYC or open to it - but maybe 8 of a couple dozen that apply to CA

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

13:59

Alright, there’s probably some self selection but it’s not nearly as consistent as. Cornell—>NYC

^^that a ton of people are getting off GULC WL

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

14:38

Gulc pulls a huge amount of people from waitlist every year

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

14:38

Gulc waitlist is the only good waitlist to be on with Harvard a distant second

15:29

@KnowledgeableRitzyWasp: do you have any easy to understand stats to show what you’re talking about? I know a lot of the data on here will show it if you’re smart enough to understand it… but alas I am not

TruthTheX

15:30

Like approximately how many people get pulled, maybe specifics of off what lists (I’ve heard blanket statements of 33, 33, 33 and 50, 25, 25)

LegalUsername

15:32

Does anyone know if GULC decisions ever come out on the weekends?

TruthTheX

15:33

Cuz all I’ve been able to tell from the last few years data vs this year is there’s FAR more people on the WL and far less Rs. So I’d assume the odds this year aren’t gonna be nearly as good as previous years

TruthTheX

15:35

@LegalUsername: I believe I have seen a couple people that said they had decisions on Saturdays but I haven’t seen a wave on Saturdays or anything on Sundays
