Loyola Law School (LLS) or UC San Francisco (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.
