Believe it or not, your T14 degree isn't going to blow the balls off the big firms down here. Median sure as shite isn't.

Thanks for all the information. You guys have been more helpful than career services thus far. I'm well aware T14 alone won't blow the socks off really anyone, but I've got other things that I think will help my cause. I did the whole Army 11B thing for four years and I've got a couple of combat pumps. I'm hoping that between my military service and Columbia degree I'll be able to compensate for wherever I end up in my class.

This is true. Back in 08-09 when the market crashed we suddenly got a bunch of resumes from mediocre students from the Ivy League. The impression I got was that they assumed that people in the sticks would be blown away by Harvard or Penn degrees, but in my experience most firms would rather hire top 10% from LSU/Tulane rather than median Harvard. Now median Harvard beats median LSU, but those aren't the kinds of jobs most Ivy Leaguers are applying for in the first place.
Your graduating from LSU undergrad is huge. A lot of these resumes were from people with no apparent connection to Louisiana, who were probably just papering the country with resumes. They didn't get serious consideration.
