not Georgetown lol

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

13:39

Do you want big law?

ClerkHopeful

13:40

not particularly

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

13:40

Yeah then go notre dame

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

13:41

I assume notre dame offered you more scholarship money

ClerkHopeful

13:41

yes

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

13:41

Pretty open and shut case the

KnowledgeableRitzyWasp

13:41

Then

MightyUnableSphinx

13:41

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

13:44

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

13:45

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

13:46

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
