I don't know how to post a quote, but Exquisite said:
<<Howard is not the same as other non-top 15 schools. Point blank, when employers want Black attorneys, they come to Howard. Period. Wachtel, Kravath, Paul Weiss, they all recruit here...HARD. Period.>>
AMEN!!! HUSL has hundreds of employers on during OCI and all year round. Doing what? Looking for brown folks! When I was there some of the white students were upset b/c they felt that they weren't getting their "fair share" of interviews. Oh, well, brown folks deal with it every day.
In my class and the class behind me HUSL had people going to each of the top 15 law firms as well as the DOJ Honors Pgm and what was at that time "NAPIL" Fellows. That's in addition to the majority of the "general population" (non-top 20%) that had jobs at gov't agencies, smaller firms and the PD.
The combination of being a Black law school, being in DC, and having a great academic program, make Howard different--in a good way!
I'm not saying that rankings aren't important, but sometimes there are more important factors--both personal and professional.
