[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is working for the federal govt considered a "quality job"?
What about an organization like the ACLU?
And then there are all those Trump judges who need to hire clerks - Vanderbilt and BYU is probably their version of Yale and Harvard.[/quote]

I think any job that requires a law degree is a quality job. But maybe being the chief operating officer or chief financial officer of a hot startup wouldn’t be considered a quality job, using that metric.

I went to Wash. U. I loved going to Wash. U. But I think it’s more likely that there’s something off about the rankings than that Wash. U. has much better cost-adjusted law school outcomes than Harvard or Stanford.

If the ratings reflect a real shift, not a methodology problem, maybe graduates of places like Wash. U. look good here because they’re more humble and more willing to take lower-paid, less prestigious law jobs, or more boring law jobs.

Another possibility is that any real shift is the result of the fact that the overachiever schools here have weak needs-based financial aid but good merit aid. Maybe, on average, the students getting merit aid tend to have better connections and networking skills than the students getting needs-based aid. [/quote]

Are there many merit or need based scholarships at Harvard and Yale’s Law schools?[/quote]
