[quote=Anonymous]I went to GW law. I went full time, made law review, got a summer internship at big law that was parlayed into a post-school offer that I took. GW did plenty of on campus interviews and students got plenty of offers, that I agree with others here that ranking of law school you attend matters very much for job offers. Grades achieved will matter just as much. GW and Georgetown are particularly good for this area, I will say, because you are right in the heart of DC where all the legal government jobs are. If he wants to work for the DOJ and GW is giving him a full ride, I might do that. But it would be a tough decision because employers WILL view the UPenn or GTown degree more favorably. I knew another student at GW my year who was going part time and doing very well. He was convinced after first year by someone (administration? Friends?) to switch to full time so he'd be getting the same journal and interview opportunities as the full time students. He did and he didn't regret it. [/quote]
