If you go to Yale, you’re going to have great opportunities after graduation. The problem is not getting a job, but deciding what you want to do.

The community of student and brand recognition make Yale worth attending, regardless of the uneven faculty.

If you get in, accept. Not having class ranking is invaluable.

If you can get in, it is a no-brainer. The number of people from Yale who go on to bigger and better things is simply amazing. The diverstiy of experience, background and ideologies is always fascinating to me, both as an alumnus and as a recruiter.

Everyone likes to joke about Yale Law grads not knowing “real law” (including Yale grads themselves, perhaps to lower expectations or avoid seeming arrogant). But Yale has more blackletter courses than any student can take, and a majority of students also get practical experience from clinics, often for a number of semesters. And most of the professors seriously care about the students. But the best thing about Yale was my classmates. I was worried that they would all be stuck up or hypercompetitive, but even though most people had amazing backgrounds, no one bragged about them — it often took weeks before I realized that a new friend had been a Rhodes Scholar or had a Ph.D. or had spent several years in Cambodia or had won an Emmy (seriously). And if I missed a class, I would have multiple people send me their notes without even asking.

Don’t get lulled into a false sense of security by the first semester P/F regime. once second semester starts, everyone’s previously hidden gunner tendencies rear their ugly heads with a vengeance.

Yale allows students a great deal of flexibilty and the chance to pursue individual interests. Although Yale’s priority is producing law professors, students have excellent Big Law possibilities.
