uchicago=nd>jhu=gtown>duke=nw，杜克和西北本科名声在东岸确实一直不好。 |

发帖数: 111 | 6 我个人的一些意见：最好不要读part time program，part-time学生找工作的竞争力远不
如full time, 尤其gtown full time学生就有500人。而且part
time存在找工作的timing上的尴尬。除非你自己full time的工作真的非常好。
法学院是漫长的过程，lsat只是万里长征的第一步，后面还有申请，入学，1L summer,
grade, ranks, law review, 2L on-campus interview...每一步都是严峻的挑战，尤其
是对于外国学生。关键是要了解法学院和这个行业的运作。但是很多人开始了解的时候，
已经太迟了。Anyway, good luck！ |

发帖数: 461 | 7 不知道在法学院外还有专利法的master学位。如果是LLM（法学硕士）的IP方向，需要法
律本科学位。你是化学ph.d.想来本科也读的化学之类，没办法读LLM的。
读JD在DC的话GW 和 GTOWN都不错，GW在专利方面好像强些。找老师？不大用得上－JD就
是上上课而已，不像搞科研有正经的导师。

it won't cost 200k. 130k for tuition. you have living expenses no matter
you go to school or not. you can have summer associate positions that pay
about $2000 a week. |

发帖数: 657 | 13 my english is almost indistinguishable from that of a native speaker (not an
exaggerated claim)
the projected living expenses in DC are 24k/yr, which is still a significant
amount if you ask me.
and again, the total funding from my family will only be 140k, which means I
practically have to come up with another 60~70k during law school on my own
. If not my education will become an inexorable burden on my family.

sending out scholarship awards now, but I have received no email so far
regarding that matter. therefore, I am planning under the assumption that I
will not be receiving any financial aid from gtlc.
I am drafting an email advocating my case and inquiring about the

发帖数: 657 | 15 better
can you please elaborate on this matter a bit? among gtown graduates, what
is the chance (numerically) for non-gc-holders to find a job? what is the
expected salary? will the income cover the debt invoked by tuition/living
expenses in law school? What is the absolute worst case scenario? and what
is the chance of that happening? (a numerical estimate would be greatly
appreciated for all of the above questions)

发帖数: 657 | 16 I did check the career placement page on their website, and naturally, could
not find the percentage of graduates that are successfully employed.
and if what I've been reading is accurate, the career prospect for JD from
GTOWN law is so very bleak right now, that it's unbearably risky for me.

好的了
如果没有身份，就像其他人说的，要么搞到高工资的，要么啥都搞不到，因为中间的什
么政府部门法庭之类的没身份基本没戏
那么具体就是你有多大机会搞定高工资的职位了，这谁都不知道，决定于你和当时市场
情况，你自己你可以控制，市场就没法控制了，知道2008年的情况有gtown毕业了是搞
定了大所的职位，但是不幸市场迫使律所裁员，所以就做了2年吧离开。
处于安全考虑，你要想好如果这种情况出现怎么办，有没有backup plan，不管是回国
还是留在这里，都可以，但是要想好出路，或者没想好出路，毕竟很多事情都不能计划
，那也没关系，但是至少心理上准备好了能随机应变 |

发帖数: 3888 | 19 I'd take the JD over biostat any time of the day.
Assuming future earning potential is the largest factor in your decision:
The only good exit for biostats are med school after you've worked in the
industry for some time. But there's no guarantee you will get into a med
school. (Assuming you're an average med school applicant, without knowing
more about you)
You sound like a smart guy and should do average or better at Gtown. Then
your chance of making biglaw is very high. Yes it's a bigger i... 阅读全帖 |

problem. It has been a hectic week with much, maybe too much,
heartwrenching soul searching. Unfortunately, I do not think it is a
fiscally feasible choice for me to go to law school at the moment without
bankrupting my family or jeopardizing their future financial security.

前辈给我点建议吧，真的
很感谢～～我很诚心哦，发了2遍都失败了。。
最多，我自己只要付一点
就够了
？加州的工作机会多不多
呢？
钱了，相反去读个给

询公司BOOZE ALLEN
之类，我知道非常难，州政府也要国际学生吗？ 如果毕业后能找到工作有签证我就很
满足了。。我本想再工作一年
申更好的学校比如HARVARD, CHICAGO这样自费也值得吧？我不清楚这种牛校的名气能不
能当饭吃，在就业方面
的帮助和UMD,GTOWN之类差多少呢？？请指点～～感谢：） |

UMD是mpp（公共政策），他家是国际关系学院却授予公共政策学位。但是侧重点是反恐
和环保，我不太喜欢，我的兴趣是项目管理，财政和卫生，最好能偏国际化一点，想读
偏量化的项目，就是很QUANT的。
JHU的也是MPP,不是那个有名的国关，MPP只招40人，是研究所(institute for policy
studies)下面的项目，偏研究的，重点是NGO，community development和卫生，毕业生
去的多是NGO和政府，我觉得教授资源太少了，毕业去向也不太喜欢，怕在我想从事的
领域的NETWORKING不行。
请问AUSTIN如何呢，他家给的钱也很多，就是位置太偏了？ 我听一个朋友说硕士找工
作主要是看学校整体排名，和地理位置？
如果自己还行，读MPA/MPP/MIA的比较好的学校比如GTOWN能不能找到工作呢？我去了美
国就业网站上看发现基本都是会计 ，金融，商科的天下。如果连HARVARD的MPP和JHU的
国关都不好找工作，我是不是应该去给钱的UMD/UT-AUSTIN然后读个DUAL DEGREE,比如

重回了一次DC，走到曾经的APT楼里，TEAISM穿来的HERB味让我觉得仿佛回到了两年前
。DC的美味，人们衣着的中规中矩，CIRCLE来CIRCLE去的路，还有GTOWN的懒散还是和
以前一样。DC对我来说是一个见证我成长的城市，在DC我做了很多对我人生重要的决定。
今年去了两次LA，一次出差一次散心，两次都住在ARCARDIA附近。07年去的时候和爸妈
也住在那里。很喜欢那里的风景，棕闾树笔直而清爽。BEVERLY HILLS比FIFTHAVE紧凑
更多，LA就感觉那里最洋气吧。
VEGAS也是再次造访，VEGAS是我喜欢的城市，就那么条路，走来走去，任何时候可以做
任何事情，永远不分白天黑色。
