GPA Chances of Big Law Forum

[mrb520]

Hi all,

I'm at Fordham Law and finished the semester with a 3.64. I was wondering what my chances are of big law with that type of GPA?

Also, I'm working at a construction company as a legal intern and want to go into real estate law (not sure if this boosts my chances)

Thanks in advance

Working as a legal intern probably won't matter much, but could give you something interesting to talk about.

Can't say chances - keep studying and raise them. If you want chances, find Fordham historic class curves, get your general class % and look at the proportion of class getting NLJ 250 jobs.

All about your interviewing/selling skills at this point. You have a gpa to get foot in the door. Work on interview skills.

Also work on keeping that GPA up. So many people do well first semester, think they made it, and coast. Remember that everyone who performed lower first semester will be gunning even harder next semester to get better

Great that you already secured your internship for next summer though, less distractions to worry about this semester
