"nyu" is trying way too hard to be cool. i think i'd rather do tax reading than spend time with this piece of work

I could barely hear what they were saying but I loved that Ivy's were ragged on.

This video is not funny in the least. I know it's Monday, Lat, but post some real content already, it's almost noon.

These anons must go to Colubmia, because that was video was good. Though not as good as this one - http://youtube.com/watch?v=IL8atM-Cm8E

12:05 must go to NYU (based on spelling and syntax)

and questionable taste

It's better than this video from the Columbia law revue:

How was that video good? Here's a thought: NYU students, get the fuck over yourselves. You're just another law school--you're not hip or cool or alternative because your school is downtown and is adjacent to a bunch of crappy bars.

amen. the people who were actually cool in that neighborhood have all either left or hate NYU (not just the law school, of course) for ruining it. seriously.

If you watch closely, you'll see that the video actually makes fun of NYU as well. We don't have waitlists, and can't use Macs for exams. The actress playing "Mac" actually cannot use a Mac. It's ironic.

It's not just Columbia bashing.

Seems our uptown rivals have developed a bit of a complex.

1. That video is hilarious.

2. It's true that NYU Law being downtown doesn't make us cooler; it just means we have more fun. Being interesting people with social lives is what makes us cooler.

3. There's another video following that's even better. Keep it up.

Come on lat. Get your hands on the Scalia and Souter video from law revue.

The end of the video has some inside jokes. The students have pushed the admin for long-awaited waitlist and mac-compatible software.

Seems kind of clever. Perhaps the critics are a bit jealous their law schools are not as creative.

ugh. this is exactly how i imagine nyu. a whole school full of kids who think that law revue is cool and funny.

if you like this video, i know where you can find some great a capella singing...

Wow. New Yorkers sure are ugly. Keep your faces off the camera.

Re 12:27:

And that's how I picture most other elite law schools. A whole school full of kids with major complexes who think that they have to be miserable all the time, because this is law school, god damnit.

errr.. make that 12:31.

Loyola, keep telling yourself that. Has that been your experience when you've been to NYC?

Though, for the record, I still sometimes wish I'd gone to UVa because of the coeds there. Jesus Christ.

L2L: Are you kidding? They are all of above-average attractiveness. "NYU" looks like Norah Jones!

Yeah and Columbia looks like Nicole Kidman. All of the sudden I don't want to be in biglaw anymore.

L2L: be careful what you wish for. if you stop posting on here about your inability to get a biglaw job, you'll have to find something else to do with your time, and you might just become a successful enough law student to get a biglaw job. you're better off making sure no ATL post goes down without your fingerprints under the fold.

The tall redhead in this video is pretty hot. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IL8atM-Cm8E

Okay, that video actually was really funny, and all of the actors are cuties. The bashers out there are jealous their Law Revues can't come up with anything nearly as clever. If you follow the link to YouTube, you can see NYU's other new video too, which is even better (and less specific to NYU and the Ivies):

there's also this video that's very well done:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WP0e26xNQGM&mode=related&search=

at the very least it puts columbia's attempt at humor to shame:

i actually prefer the beastie boys to michael jackson for my song parodies (from the intro to UVA's libel show):

I found Loyola youtubes!

that beasties parody is awesome. lat you're remiss if you don't throw that up on the the main board.

1:26. The subtitles were sort of odd.

My best friend goes to NYU law school. He says all they talk about is how they're just as good as Columbia. Talk about an inferiority complex. Apparently almost no one there got into Columbia.

"My best friend goes to NYU law school. He says all they talk about is how they're just as good as Columbia. Talk about an inferiority complex. Apparently almost no one there got into Columbia."

Boo hoo I had to NYU instead of Columbia.

I go to NYU (and I got into the place uptown) and I never hear anyone talking about how we're as good as Columbia. Whenever the subject comes up the talk is always about how we're BETTER than Columbia.

I got into both Columbia and NYU. I chose NYU for a variety of personal reasons and I am very happy here. I'm sure I'd have been happy at Columbia as well. But I know a lot of NYU kids who got into Columbia (as well as Columbia students who got into NYU). The rivalry is rather silly (except of course for Dean's Cup, which is just good fun), since most students are happy with their choice of law school.

Also, the video was indeed done by a 3L, without any outside assistance.

I relate Columbia guys. Guys at People's College of the Law always talks about how they're better than us. They're totally not.

anon90069 - it's the same tall red-head in both videos. ;) She's an NYU 3L, and was also one of the choreographers of the show.

1:54, I wasn't talking about Grendel's mom. Look up my zip code if you want to know which tall redhead I was referring to.

I go to NYU law school, and am embarrassed to admit that we do in fact have this complex about Columbia. Most people here would reluctantly admit that the only reason they're going here is because they didn't get accepted to Columbia. And I'm sure that Columbia is filled with people who didn't get into Harvard. Why else would they go there, and why else would we go to NYU?

That last post was obviously written by a student at Columbia trying to pretend he is from NYU. Come on! NYU and Columbia are the same shit. If anything NYU is slightly better. You guys are ridiculous. Chicago is better than both anyway.

Got into both, chose NYU. Stop trolling.

anon90069 - She's not that tall in real life, though is a kick-ass girl. In fact, most of the LR kids are pretty kick-ass. We don't have an inferiority complex when it comes to that uptown school, rather, we all wish that our childhood dreams of stardom hadn't been relegated to the dustbin because of our below-average singing and dancing abilities.

I wasn't talking about the hideous behemoth! I was talking about the guy. 90069 is a gay zip code.

WTF, anon90069? Just because some New Yorker didn't get your lame California zip code reference doesn't mean you should call a kickass awesome girl a hideous behemoth. Come on people. Blog etiquette anyone? (Is there such a thing?)

Sorry. Why do you care what I think of a girl's appearance any way?

Dude, Grendel's mom is hot like whoa! I'm from Cali too, and I was under the impression that tall, sexy redheads who dance madhot MJ were considered a good thing. Dorky lawyer clothes can't hide that. But hey, maybe I'm old-fashioned.

Way to go, NYU. You should be proud. And congrats on the #4 spot.

And just to be clear, I'm NOT talking about the guy.

I think almost everyone at NYU got into CLS and everyone at CLS got into NYU, assuming they applied to both schools. And I've never heard anyone say NYU is as good as CLS. We only say we're better.

The rivalry is really about attracting students and profs (and we're making a killing stealing CLS profs). For students, its all light hearted. For hiring committees and admissions officers, its deadly serious. In my case, they even offered me identical scholarship packages.

Also, in case anyone doesn't know, CLS and NYU schedule their admitted student days over one weekend, and the admissions officers and students are pretty focused on selling prospective students on CLS over NYU or NYU over CLS.

Those of you making negative comments about the cast members' looks are disgusting and should seriously be ashamed of yourselves. Say what you want about the video itself, but making gross remarks about the individuals in it is not cool at all. They are all really cool, talented people, who put on an awesome show (in addition to being smart enough to get into NYu Law). Grow up, and stop being ugly to people who do not deserve that kind of treatment simply for having their hard work recognized.

The reason there is such a rivalry between NYU and Columbia is that they are both in NY and have so many cross-admits. NYU people dislike Columbia b/c they are worried people assume its better just because its an ivy and resent having less layman prestige.

Columbia students resent NYU people b/c they are insecure tools who felt the need to sacrifice QOL to go to an ivy. They pretend that all cross-admits go to Columbia so they feel smarter.

NYU students are much better than Columbia students.

Not better law students mind you.

Just better people.

I got into Columbia among other top schools and chose NYU. If I thought I'd be in a school with a bunch of people like 2:41 who are only at NYU because they didn't get into Columbia, however, maybe I would have gone somewhere else. This is the first and last time I will waste my time on one of these ridiculous blogs. Most of you are shaming your schools like cowards hiding behind the anonymity of the internet.

I got into both and chose Columbia. I didn't know if I'd want a business degree or some other degree to go along with my JD and Columbia has slightly better "name recognition." The truth is, CLS has been on top for decades, whereas NYU has risen dramatically in recent years. So the name value's a little smidgen better.

It also places more clerkships.

That said, I know TONS of people who got into both and chose NYU so they could live downtown.

Which one is ranked higher?

thank god at least one of the "eltite" top 4 has a sense of humour. i thought i was going to work at big law with a bunch losers and dorks. i wish i could study law downtown. and not so bad looking either. better than the freaks we have here at loyola.

sorry for the repeat post - slow computer. damn LMU!

I must reluctantly agree with the above post. damn LMU. i wish i had gone to NYU now.

Hey fellow Loyola students. Were our wit of mandamus youtubes better?

NYU not only had a waitlist in 2002 but also resorted to it to fill the Class of '05.
