Given the state of the economy in the Bay Area - the dot-com bust and the tales of layoffs in Bay Area law firms - does anyone out there think that this makes the top tier Bay Area less desirable? Will they have lower admissions yields and therefore be changing their formulas?
Any opinions? |

If you're asking if Stanford and Boalt are less desirable
because SV and SF have some layoffs, I'd have to think that the answer is no. Both schools are great, will have great placement, and will continue to be tough admits.
If you had asked instead whether the third tiers in CA might be have tougher placement, then question would be much more complex.
With Stanford and Boalt, only the worst economies can prevent even bottom grads from finding a job, and the economic fluctations have more effect on the number of job options. As to formulae, who can say, but admissions tend to get tougher when times are tougher, because applications increase.
