Re: Which law school should I attend?
most of the advice in this thread sucks. Harvard obviously has the best reputation among these schools, but the benefit you will get from it would only be very slight over schools like Columbia and NYU. Some firms may even prefer NYU/Columbia over Harvard (see places like Wachtell, arguably the most prestigous firm in the world)
But in the end, the opportunities for OP's stated goal will be enormous afrer graduating from any of these schools. If a firm was picking between 3 people with the same grades from these 3 schools, they are most likely going to make their decision on some other factor, like personality, than on the school's reputation.
But the benefit of these 3 schools over Cornell will be much larger, so if its only between Cornell and Harvard, I agree and say Harvard for sure.
