Ding today... JSNone since November, suprised I made it to the last day, I'm going to pretend that is an achievement. It's been fun, good luck to those still standing.

Re: Harvard Law c/o 2020 Applicants (2016-2017)
Question: Waitlisted JSNONE as of now. I am still waiting on Yale and Stanford, but I have been graciously offered the Dillard at UVA. The deposit deadline is fast approaching.
What do you all think about : Harvard (WL) vs. UVA (Dillard). Or Stanford (in/WL) vs. UVA (Dillard)?
I know for certain I want to clerk and all three schools are awesome for clerking.
Such a tough (but very good) decision! Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

Re: Harvard Law c/o 2020 Applicants (2016-2017)
Honestly I would just go to UVA. But there's no harm in riding waitlists. UVA has some pretty big deposits to just walk away from in July though.Anxious-Undergrad wrote:Probably Big-Law, but maybe JAG.Rigo wrote:Deposit at UVA for sure.Anxious-Undergrad wrote:Question: Waitlisted JSNONE as of now.

Harvard clerking numbers aren't even that much better than Virginia so I don't think that'd be worth the money at all.
16% v. 19%
Compared to 26% for S and 34% for Y

I would certainly go to UVA if I was still on the waitlist by July. I really loved Charlottesville on my visit but I also like Palo Alto and Cambridge. That fact that I am a JSNONE leads me to believe I am at the bottom of the Waitlist pile at Harvard. Can anyone confirm JS1s get preference over JSNONEs on the waitlist?

Where are you getting these numbers from...Stanford posts 35% on its website, and Yale has about 40% on its website, I believe. Harvard's is also higher

The numbers on the websites might be out of date; alternatively, they might be new numbers not yet calculated into the LST numbers.

Aren't clerkship percentages kinda pointless unless class size is also taken into account? 16% of Harvard class and 19% of UVA class are both higher total numbers than S and Y.acz26 wrote:Rigo wrote:Harvard clerking numbers aren't even that much better than Virginia so I don't think that'd be worth the money at all.

Re: Harvard Law c/o 2020 Applicants (2016-2017)
I'm curious what percentage of the class in each of these schools applies for clerkships. If 60% of Yale grads apply but only 40% get one, that's as good as 45% of Harvard grads applying and 15% getting one.Rigo wrote:Some lawyers can do math, I swear!Pozzo wrote:Opposite, actually.

Not sure that data is readily available, so outcomes is all we really have to go on. You might be able to get some anecdata over on the clerkship board or the HLS/YLS threads "Ask a Law Student" board.seeprybyrun wrote:I'm curious what percentage of the class in each of these schools applies for clerkships.

And if my math is right (which it may not be--it's been a long week), it would actually be more like 60% applied/40% successful and 45% applied/30% successful.
e: FWIW, there is data on the per capita placement and overall placement for Supreme Court Clerks here. Harvard and Yale have placed almost the same number of SCCs over the 10 year period, but the per capita rate is much higher for Y due to its small size. S's per capita rate is on par with H.
