It's #16. It's extremely well respected.

well, put it into context. It's not a T14. UVA is tied at 4 and even GMU/Scalia is at 28

16 is higher than 28

This. A lot of law schools, even some T14s, chase students from highly regarded undergrad programs (ivies/+) based on LSAT registration or scores or both.

I’m PP and my kid went to a state U that DCUM turns its nose up to so I don’t think it has anything to do with the school - just high GPA and high LSAT. So they chase high scores but it doesn’t mean much, especially when the applicant is 21 or 22. Age makes a big difference. Cornell did the same. Very U Chicago of them.

There is no difference between 14 and 16. Silly.

Could you link to your source for that? Could you be mixing it up with another school?

Who are you? This is not true at all. They have been thought of as elite for 30 years.

My two friends are incredibly successful and went to Wash U. One certainly can do well there. Both partners in top 20 big law firms.

My concern is with the markets the school feeds. Chicago and St Louis are really bleak in terms of their future. Than again, cities like Dallas do take students from Wash U. Markets like Kansas Cit do too. The law firm I have ever engaged is from Kansas City. There is some excellent work in mid size cities. After your first few years, you experience and skill take over. I went to one of the best firms in New York after Georgetown - my adviser said don't pass it up. I am glad my first job was at this firm.And Georgetown barely got me in there - you really had to do well, Wash U - good school but must be thoughtful in obtaining outcomes.

I know these things are anecdotal, but a 44 floor modern skyscraper in St Louis just sold for 2.6 million - just concerned about St Louis as an economic hub going forward. I like St Louis if you can live in the nicer parts and it is a good living.

You clearly are not in the legal field. There’s a reason why it’s called T14.

This also what happemed to my DS who was offered unsolicited full freight schaolarships for his 36ACT from schools you haven't heard of. the law school wants to lock in that gpa for reporting reasons; nothing else.

Can you elaborate? Meaning they want them to apply because of the GPA and either accepted or denied it benefits them.

Chicago biglaw partner here.

No one attending WashU law school stays in STL to practice….and Chicago certainly has a thriving legal market.

3 years in STL is not the doomsday scenario you’ve made it out to be.

To include Georgetown. That’s it. Break it down to employment and pay and it’s a silly cutoff.

I think nothing of Harvard. They took the kid with the lowest scores of all the kids I know who applied a few years ago.
