LMU or UCSF ($)
Hi! I'm trying to choose between LLS and UCSF for law school and was hoping to get more opinions before the deposit deadline in 2 days.
For context, I would love to work in house and have been advised that going into Big Law will open those opportunities for me. I have been reviewing employment statistics and noticed that approximately 19.7% of Loyola graduates enter national firms compared to around 28% from UCSF. My long term goal would ideally be to practice big law in Los Angeles, as that is where I have built a strong network and community. At the same time, I would absolutely be open to attending school in San Francisco, and my broader priority is to increase my opportunities to enter big law regardless of location.
I also found different information on the law school curves and was hoping for some clarity. They both seem to curve at a 3.0? If anyone attended the schools and know if there's a collaborative and supportive culture that would be helpful too! I did receive a scholarship but the goal for this post is to focus on employment outcomes.
