[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went to an SEC school for law school that most DCUMers would scoff at. I didn’t even graduate at the top of my class and I have a great job and have never been negatively questioned about my school. I have honestly never seen such school snobbery anywhere but on this board.

My reasons for choosing my school were also that I wanted to go to a big school with great school spirit, sports, and a large alumni base. I am super glad with the path I chose and if I could do it all over again I wouldn’t change a thing. [/quote]

Yeah but Kentucky has a great basketball program so brand name.  I applied to law schools that were second tier (didn't have credentials) but had brand name through sports Syracuse, Miami, etc.  Wouldn't have gotten into Duke, etc.  Ended up at American and am apprehensive because I am going for a senior position at a company and their ad still says top school despite saying 10 plus years experience.  Everyone kept saying law school matters for the first job but now all the Georgetown Law grads will flood the applicant pool for this job and they will be preferred.  Not always the case; I used to work at a Wall Street law firm from American and they cared more about my experience as a lateral.  [b]But clearly some employers give a sh_t about school even 10 plus years out.[/b]  [/quote]

So, you're saying they care more 10 years out about where you went to school over your proven performance?  That seems stupid. [/quote]
