Wayne State Law Admission questions
I appiled back on the october 7, essentially the beginning of apllication acceptance, I have not heard a peep, it still just shows file is under review when i check the status online. Is this normal? How long would expect to wait? Also how tough would it be to get big law in MI preferably the detroit area after law school? I have an EET degree and I plan on taking the patent bar soon. My expereince is in hybrid battery technology, computer networking/voice, and wireless technology. I also have an interest/small experience in cyber security from working for the government for a year.

Re: Wayne State Law Admission questions
It sounds normal, but it depends entirely on that school's timeline.
As to your other question: It would be very, very tough to get biglaw from Wayne State, and equally difficult to get competitive federal government work. If those are your goals, you should not be going to Wayne State.

It’s so unlikely to get biglaw from Wayne State, I would say it’s impossible.cavalier1138 wrote:Ok. If you want biglaw, don't go to Wayne State.MurderafterMidnight wrote:Thanks,but I was just stating I used to work for the government, not that i was looking for government work.

Even locally? I see the data, it's just that i have seen a few local big firms hire wayne grads, but yeah it seems to be a long shot.Npret wrote:It’s so unlikely to get biglaw from Wayne State, I would say it’s impossible.cavalier1138 wrote:Ok.

What were their grades? Did they have an connections to those firms?MurderafterMidnight wrote:Even locally? I see the data, it's just that i have seen a few local big firms hire wayne grads, but yeah it seems to be a long shot.
It's not technically impossible, but when a school averages 10% biglaw placement, it's a bad bet. If your goal is biglaw, you should go to a much, much better school (which likely means retaking the LSAT).
