[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Retired Biglaw partner here.  Whether OP’s daughter goes to Georgetown, Vanderbilt or Northwestern will have zero - zero - bearing on her acceptance to a top law school and absolutely no influence on whether she lands a job with Biglaw either.  Anyone suggesting anything to the contrary is out of their mind.  This thread is the poster child for college admissions and planning going completely off the rails.

As an aside, when I was a Biglaw partner I distinctly remember another partner bragging over lunch about her kid just graduating from a top law school and getting ready to start in Biglaw and I honestly felt sorry for them both.  If I had a kid who was as focused as OP’s kid seems to be on landing a job in Biglaw I’d wonder why and worry that I’d done something wrong.  What’s the appeal beyond the money?

I kind of agree with this. There’s no reason to be in Biglaw other than the salary.  But  there are so many easier (and more pleasant) ways to make money, too.  I wonder what a 19 year old really knows about Biglaw.

That being said, if these are her options, she’s doing a lot of things right.  She can make the decision on her own and any of these places will prepare her for whatever is coming next.  This is an enviable position to be in![/quote]
