I'd worry more about a deficit in common sense than the difficulty of your classes.FuturePaulClement wrote:Does anyone know of any easy courses that can help boost a 3.92 GPA?

If you have that GPA and are still asking that question, you better hold on to it for dear life. I'd even consider dropping out to avoid taking more classes.FuturePaulClement wrote:Does anyone know of any easy courses that can help boost a 3.92 GPA?

Re: WUSTL Recent Grad (and others) Taking Questions
Something I really like about WUSTL is that you can take clinic classes and clerk for credit. How hard is it to get into the appellate clinic, corporate judicial externship, and judicial clerkship externship? How do these programs help to advance your career?
Thanks so much for any thoughts you have on this!

Re: WUSTL Recent Grad (and others) Taking Questions
For appellate clinic I did it as a 2l, and purely anecdotally, it seems like he takes people with high grades. Everybody in the clinic while I was there is in big law. Judicial externships seem much easier though. I found the clinic worthwhile but I doubt it will help my career.TLS_Dreamer wrote:Something I really like about WUSTL is that you can take clinic classes and clerk for credit.

Re: WUSTL Recent Grad (and others) Taking Questions
I would second all this. The clinics are great experience, but they probably only advance your career in rare cases. There are 10 things that are more important. The judicial externships are pretty easy to get, but La Pierre seems to take people he knows and likes for the appellate clinic.sublime wrote:For appellate clinic I did it as a 2l, and purely anecdotally, it seems like he takes people with high grades.

Re: WUSTL Recent Grad (and others) Taking Questions
Does anyone know why I can't add/drop classes? I thought I could continue registering for a few weeks after classes start. Do I need to contact the registrar to drop and add me from classes?

Re: WUSTL Recent Grad (and others) Taking Questions
Generally, students can add/drop themselves now and well into the semester. Some classes are restricted, but it's uncommon enough that I'm guessing it's some error that you just need to email the registrar and ask about.acr wrote:Does anyone know why I can't add/drop classes?

Yes. Magarian is awesome, and I recommend this class. It does come with a take home final (24 hours I think) so keep that in mind.acr wrote:Anyone taken Legislation with Magarian?

Re: WUSTL Recent Grad (and others) Taking Questions
Given my stats WUSTL might end up being the best option. They are the only school that, according to myLSN at least, would offer me a very large scholarship.
What are the employment prospects? I'd be shooting for biglaw or midlaw (if failing Biglaw), with no real interest in PI or government.
I haven't taken the LSAT yet, so my real decision comes then, but my GPA is a 3.75.
Also, I'd like to practice in Chicago, but if I understand I don't think WUSTL places much of any grads there.

Re: WUSTL Recent Grad (and others) Taking Questions
I don't know where this Chicago misconception comes from - there are a ton of 2Ls that got jobs in Chicago, pretty sure more are going there than anywhere other than NYC. The school is definitely represented at most if not all the top firms thereAaronRodgers wrote:Given my stats WUSTL might end up being the best option.

LST says only 45% even make BigLaw, and 11% work in Illinois.

Re: WUSTL Recent Grad (and others) Taking Questions
In the loosest sense, yes, it may be "represented" at top firms in Chicago. Such as, top firms might have 1-2 attorneys out of every 200 that went to WUSTL. I've probably had lunch with just about all of these people in my area of law. None of them have any pull on their firms' hiring committees.markham1321 wrote: I don't know where this Chicago misconception comes from - there are a ton of 2Ls that got jobs in Chicago, pretty sure more are going there than anywhere other than NYC.

Chicago is a bad choice, though because Illinois has the smallest growth rate of any state (it's actually negative, as the population is shrinking). And yet Chicago is over-saturated with law schools, pumping out thousands of under-employed attorneys each year, as if the shrinking legal sector never happened. Plus it has two local schools that out-rank WUSTL, so they really have no need to dip down to WUSTL for their recruiting needs.
For every one WUSTL grad that got biglaw in Chicago, there's at least two scraping around in shitlaw, big insruance defense, small insurance defense, unpaid fellowships, or who were forced into a entirely different career from law against their will. The sad fact is that, even three years after graduation, your odds don't increase at getting a job that affords you any semblance of financial stability.
Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.

I would not go to WUSTL if my mindset was big/mid law or bust. Not without a full scholarship at least.AaronRodgers wrote:Given my stats WUSTL might end up being the best option. They are the only school that, according to myLSN at least, would offer me a very large scholarship.
