[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I studied abroad my junior year and travelled for 8 weeks in Africa for shits and giggles. I was admitted to three T14 schools. [b]I honestly don't think an applicant's summer job is that important, although it's possible that things have changed since I went to law school. [/b]Nor, after nearly two decades of practice in big law and government, do I think that T14 is the golden ticket many believe it to be. [/quote]

+1  The summer after my junior year I stayed in the town where my college was located and worked two jobs, about 65 hours a week.   Nothing glamorous or intern-y.  Went to a school that was ranked #4 at the time (the rankings have changed a lot since then; it's still T14 but I'm not sure year by year where it falls anymore). [b] I will disagree with PP in that I think T14 is a golden ticket in a lot of ways - it gets you interviews at firms that flat out will not talk to candidates from Rutgers, for example.  But if they mean it's no guarantee you'll be a good or successful lawyer, I would agree with that POV.[/b][/quote]

The bolded portion is correct.[/quote]
