What Schools Should I Be Looking @?

Just to be clear, in the entering class at Northwestern Law this past autumn, 98% had at least one year of work experience and 84% had at least two years of work experience. That differs significantly from every other top law school. For example, at Harvard Law, 60% of the entering class this past autumn had been out of college at least one year.

I believe that the percentage of students who have been out of college for a period of years at most top law schools is typically similar to Harvard’s, rather than Northwestern’s, numbers.

Please note that the percentage of students at top law schools who have been out of college for some number of years before attending law school increases every year.
