Tell me my fortune

Post by Gifted Hands » Wed May 25, 2016 10:11 am

Lower T1: top 25%: K-JD: AG office and federal judge intern 1l summer jobs: what are my odds of BL/FC at OCI? Known to tell inappropriate jokes at interviews but I'm working on that.

the school places between 20 and 25 % in BL

I foresee a visit from a tall, dark (but not necessarily handsome) stranger in your future

I consider myself smart but this one went over my head. are you making a racist inference?

for real though, I assume its not like the top 25 get the only 25 BL jobs. Right? I'm mainly looking for input from non-t14 people and how your/freinds results were

that makes no sense. you are implying that I am contradicting myself. PAYE is not the target, it's the fallback which I won't have to worry about bc I went debt-free (but I'd rather be median at cornell with full debt).

So transfer and marginally increase your odds at BL, then PAYE for life.

Don't do this. If you don't get BL consider yourself lucky. Graduate debt free, then build your practice. This is especially true for litigation.

seriously considering maxing out loans and starting a injury settlement mill (use about 10k per month on ads) and then re-invest etc.

Yeah, not sure why you'd want to take on debt considering I see plenty of recent NYL and Brooklyn Law grads in BL, some of which don't even have honors.

Network and graduate debt-free.
