yitayningwut: Congratulations on your score. I wouldn’t rule out getting accepted to Columbia, but it is by no means a given. Rumor has it that they are accepting fewer BTLs these days, but no one knows if this is really the case. There is not enough statistical evidence proving one way or the other. If you are serious about going I strongly advise that you find someone who has a connection to Prof. Stone and have that someone put in a good word for you with Prof. Stone.

As for job prospects, the frum Columbia guys from the Class of ’10 did not fare very well. Only 2 out of the 6 received offers from big law firms. A few of them are now in the NYU Tax LL.M. program hoping to get a second chance at Big Law.

Do not go to a top law school expecting to get a job in Big Law. The rules have changed since the economy crashed.
