Job prospects for international student at Columbia

[harveyspecter993]

Hi guys,

Supposing I get into Columbia, study hard and hopefully be in the top 10% of my class, how good would my biglaw prospects be. Is it harder to get hired in NYC biglaw if one is an international student?

Thanks.

as hard as Kirby getting money from a unicorn in broadway

Are you trolling? You could be deep into the bottom half of the class and still get some biglaw gig out of CLS. To my knowledge it's not any worse for international students than domestic.

There is a tiny bit of extra work required for the law firm to sponsor your visa, but I cannot imagine any big law firm putting any significant weight on that aspect, especially coming from Columbia.
