Columbia vs. U Chi
Trying to decide between these two schools. Plan on going into politics/public interest. Finances aside, what's the better option?

U Chi because clerkships, size, intellectualism, and CoL. Nyc is dirty. The subways are sweaty and make you feel like a mole-person. (Columbia is a great school with a lot of smart people, I'm sure).

If you plan on going into politics, neither. Don't go to law school.Uchi12344 wrote:Plan on going into politics/public interest.
But if you're actually thinking of practicing law, then go to Chicago. Those guys are weird, and you're weird enough to have started three extremely vague threads on this in the past few days.

Re: Columbia vs. U Chi
Not that I want to pick a fight over this but I think that really depends on what sort of public interest you want to do. Chicago's clinical offerings are pretty gr8 especially if you're interested in things like police accountability, federal criminal defense, or mental health issues.Nebby wrote:lol, politics

Honestly the only two factors that should matter between these two schools are whether you want to be in NY or Chicago and cost.

Re: Columbia vs. U Chi
Columbia has a better LRAP. The clinical offers are similar between the two. Columbia also has a better public interest alumni network and access to a much larger public interest market.BlendedUnicorn wrote:Not that I want to pick a fight over this but I think that really depends on what sort of public interest you want to do.

Re: Columbia vs. U Chi
Yeah, to address that question seriously: Columbia is objectively better than Chicago for PI, and the numbers reflect that. I'd say that NYU would probably be better than either, but it would come down to money, regardless.

This shit is hilarious.--This is like the second time I've seen Rigo come with that response to a poster who's thinking of law as a "come up" for a future in politics. So funny.Rigo wrote:OP is going to end up picking Harvard so let's save our energy.
And either way, good luck to the OP in the cycle.
