i've heard pretty good things about UM recruiting....way to go on USD when did you find out? It's one of my top choices because I love the city. What' yours? Did they send you any emails and how did you check your status? – fortuita

i've been to san diego a few times and loved it. i know that my lsats ruined my chance for a strong national reputation school, so I have to go for a strong regional school in an area I want to practice and live. there is not a better school in a better place to live when it comes to regional schools in my opinion, so right now i think its my top choice. let me know if you decide on it, it would be awesome to already know someone! – Total Coward

i have no idea why my last comment says total coward, so strange – fortuita

Good luck on your apps. Our numbers are similar. Similar congratulations are in order for being ambedextrous. – therealme

I've been wondering things about Miami as well... but my thoughts have centered more on hurricanes and whether I will be able to withstand them.

I work with estate planning compliance right now, and I must say... great job prospects for UM grads, especially those involved with taxation. (This is all based upon $$$ amount; the bank I work for has lots of UM alum clients). Its one of the best known schools in the Miami area, so jobs are abundant there. It gets a bit tougher out of state, but the school does have good name recognition and, like most places, if you stay in the top of your class you get noticed. – gummyb

Another thing with UM is that they have a lot of law review opportunities. I know Emory being small makes it extremely competitive to make law review. I have several friends in at UM who tell me that the opportunity make law review is there if you want it. It is a lot of extra work but they allow a lot of students to edit articles and get their names mentioned. – rnumiami

Yea, I went to see Emory and loved it...I would probably still go to GW if they accept me before I sign a lease at Emory, but we'll see. I really liked Emory when I went to see it...great campus, great school, etc (including the TI:GER program for IP law, which I am interested in). There were SO many places to live around the campus..mostly apt complexes..the nicest one was Post Briarcliff, which was the priciest...but there were like 5 Post properties around Emory, and a few other nice ones. I did see a terrible one..so ghetto, and the whole tour seemed to be out of a saturday night live skit..anyway, atlanta is also pretty liberal..especially when compared to the rest of Georgia (I heard they just passed a law making some month the "confederate history pride month" or something like that..)

are you going to the accepted students' weekend? – Nucleosynthesis

I'm living at the Post Briarcliff next year. It is really nice and very affordable compared to other arrangements. I hope you pick Emory as your attending school. I love it here and do not regret the choice. – superkaz
