因为同时要兼顾的因素太多，所以希望听听别人的意见。
学校A，在加州，排名30左右，学费约37，000
学校B，在t州，排名50左右，学费约28，000，有个scholarship，能去个零头。
还有我lg同时有两个job offer，分别在两个学校所在的城市。他在t州的offer 工资反
而比加州的offer高，相对当地消费水平来说，两者年薪相差大约有四万。
我们两个人肯定是共同进退，不考虑long distance的。
从短期经济的考虑，正负两方面加起来，如果我们选择在加州则要比在t州每年多负担
6
万以上。t州还有个好处是lg的job办绿卡会很快,最快一年可以搞定
。
t州的不好是地方穷，没有ca有活力、多元化、天气好、好玩的地方多，我们本身就在c
a，要挪窝颇有些舍不得。但是看看加州的房价。。。
无论选择A学校还是B学校，我将来都尽量会在local或者附近城市工作。我相信找份工
作还是不会太难的，pay的怎么样就不知道了。根据以往版上大多数牛人的意见是，top
20或者top15以外的学校，基本没什么差别了，我想可能排名30多和50多也就没什么 |

发帖数: 35 | 3 Law firms other than the east/west coasts ones normally wouldn't recruit
international JD students at all. Because their business is focused on
their local market, which rarely requires any international or technical
background, and local people don't perceive a foreinger well. If you want
to find a job in t state, it WILL be hard. |

发帖数: 46 | 4 Thank you for your info. As you know, I am not an "insider" yet. I just want
to know, don't law firms basicly use academic performance as yardstick for
recruiting (or giving the chance to interview)? If, I mean if, I can get to
the top 10% of the class, will I stand a chance of landing a job in the loca
l market?
Hypothetically,if you mean local law firms would rather recruit my american
classmates with worse grades than hire me with better grades, it is really w
orth reconsidering the decision.

发帖数: 35 | 5 When it comes to law firm recruiting, 3 things firms consider:
the rank of school you go to;
your grades;
how well you would fit in, including your personality and communication
skills.
The first 2 will decide whether you will get an on-site interview or not.
Once you get in the door, nothing but the 3rd matters. When I intervew
potential candidates, I don't even look at his/her grades since they've met
the threshold. What we care about is whether I would feel comfortable
working with the can |

发帖数: 951 | 7 Other than maybe top t20, all other schools are "local schools." If you go
to a local school, be prepared that you may only be able to get a job in
that local market.
Are you prepared to live in "T" state after graduation? If not, stay in CA.
At least a local school in CA gives you access to a big market (CA). |
