"Safe" NYC Bids for Median from MVP?

Post by Anonymous User » Fri Jun 29, 2012 3:01 am

I know some of the obvious ones that aren't grade picky and have big classes (Stroock, Cadwalader, etc), but are there any other ones that people often overlook that I should try and bid high to make sure I get a screener with?

This is pretty dumb thinking. There is no such thing as safe, and in fact, it might even be hard for you to land an interview at a place like cadwalader/stroock. Think about the numbers, there are significantly more people in the range of Cadwalader/Stroock than there are at places that are grade picky.

Yep. Median MVP people are competing with a lot more candidates at lower ranked schools than MVPers in the top 25% or so.
