The unsung hero we need
Ah yes, I myself am a junior at Harvard/Princeton/USC
Best of luck in recruiting. You'll have a clean shot atGS/MS/JPM/RBC
hilarious, not sure why the MS
Congrats man! While that may not be the career path I've chosen, I recognize how hard it is to get into a school like that. You've got a bright future ahead of you, and this is the start to a very rewarding (and challenging) career.
WTF is the D? Reminds me of when they tried to make MBBD a thing.
Dartmouth
I don't think it's on the same level, but Dartmouth is actually an awesome school. Can't hate. Grats on YLS
Sir this is a finance board
Former lawyer here. Have fun wasting those sweet finance/management consulting/F500/tech positions you could've easily have obtained at your undergrad institution with higher upside and more interesting exit ops. It is only March, still time to rectify your error.
Lol there is a huge difference in outcomes coming from YLS/HLS versus being a lawyer at even a T14.
Not really. YLS will open appellate federal clerkships and a handful of boutique litigation firms (the majority of students will not be in the running for either). Those SC clerkships are obtained by lower T14 schools, it is largely getting in the door of a feeder judge and then having the right person to call.
for most of YLS/HLS, you will go to the same V5, V20, V50 firms as the rest of the T14 in slightly different proportions. The work responsibilities at all these firms will be the same. Almost no one will enter finance or a business side exit op they could not have obtained without the JD (the JD will actually hold them back).
What is your issue? Every single post mentioning a whiff of law and you come frolicking in with your butt hear ass rhetoric. GTFOHWTS.
OP made a troll post, so I responded with a somewhat trollish demeanor. If you do not think he was trolling, go to "Top Law School Forums" and write "Received a Goldman Sachs M&A Group Offer" to see what they will say in turn.
To your claim of "every single post," please point out where I have made any factual claims that were inaccurate. Please point out where I made a thrust of opinion or assertion that is not the consensus of transactional attorneys off-the-record. If anything, I have been far too conciliatory to theWSOposters inquiring about their prospects in law in that my advice has been to only go if one wants to enter litigation (assuming they have a definite and clear-eyed view of what a litigator's career entails, it is not pretty). Most of my former classmates and co-workers would say do not become a litigator either. The lack of desirable exit ops, dull nature of the work, and slow pace to reach any comparable level of managerial responsibility conspire to make law a poor career decision.
To your question "What is your issue?" I do not suffer from the all-too-common attorney problems in that I am not divorced, I do not have children I hardly know, I am not an alcoholic, I am not in visibly bad physical health, and I do not have a luxury SUV lease I can hardly afford. If you think dentists take the cake in any of these metrics, lawyers have news for you.
Here is a quick read up on entering law today. Before you hastily dissuade a prospective student from listening to an attorney with warnings about attending a JD program, please perform your due diligence:

2.https://newrepublic.com/article/114065/death-big-law-firms-cant-be-igno…https://newrepublic.com/article/113941/big-law-firms-trouble-when-money…(some base-level information on how firms operate and the economic outlook they face; the picture has gotten uglier since these articles were written, but these are the most detailed snapshots)
3.https://web.archive.org/web/20171220050408/http://thirdtierreality.blog…(a blog that went viral in the wake of '08; it was taken down when law schools threatened to sue law students who reported accurate facts on their alma maters cooking the books on employment figures; yes that includes the T14 inflating numbers)
4.https://outsidethelawschoolscam.blogspot.com/2021/01/which-law-schools-…(this blog will tell you why law is a sub-optimal choice for a young person, especially compared to other options; a number of contributors here went to HLS)

.
Law schools, if they consider softs at all, put them at 5% of an admissions profile. It is almost all gpa and lsat. A lot of your Stanford law classmates will be former waiters or have no career to speak of, rather they hit testing gold one morning and had a state school 4.0.
for finance exits, don't go to law school or get the mba
Yale and Stanford do consider softs. Other schools don't as much. From the comment you should have been able to tell that he understands that. Lol...
edit: also, he was asking about developing an attractive finance profile while in undergrad - not using law school to go to finance.
