I just thought you were making a reference to a certain inside joke. Don't worry about it.

For doctrinal classes you get a letter in your flex a week or two after the semester starts. Not sure about clinics though.HarveyGrutz wrote:Anyone know the timeline for CALIs and/or if they're given out for clinics? My professor mentioned them but he/she may have been mistaken.

If you have substantial Boston ties and do well, you should have no problem. It's difficult to gauge, however, how you would do without doing well- everyone I know who is going to Boston is in the top of the class and on law review (with one exception re: law review). It is completely appropriate to ask for those statistics from Cornell, but they may not have them or give them.kemosabe wrote:Hello Cornell Student/s,
I am an admitted student with an interest in Boston. NYC is my second choice market. I see that over half of the class ends up in NYC. Do you know how those gunning for Boston tend to fare? I'm also wondering if it would be appropriate for me to ask career services or admissions about certain statistics (percentage of grads who go to Boston, SA positions, number of firms coming to OCI, etc.). Lastly, is there anything outside of Need Access and FAFSA that I will need to complete in order to make myself eligible for scholarships?
Thanks very much for any insight that you're able to provide!
Assuming you're already admitted, you would submit the one-page financial aid information sheet available on this page.kemosabe wrote:Lastly, is there anything outside of Need Access and FAFSA that I will need to complete in order to make myself eligible for scholarships?
I know at least two non-LR, non–cum laude ppl from my year at good Boston firms, but yes, Boston is a small market with lots of good law schools = tough competition for jobs.Arbiter213 wrote:If you have substantial Boston ties and do well, you should have no problem.

My year there are 4 people going to Boston vault firms (2x Wilmer, 1x Goodwin, 1x Skadden). There also usually is one offer to Ropes Boston (it's offered one at a time in order of preference, from the look of it).
No reason you can't do both. I interviewed in two markets and got offers in both.kemosabe wrote:Thank you everyone! That was quite helpful, and prompt. Boston does seem tough to crack in general. I suppose that in any scenario, it'd be foolish of me to totally swear off NYC considering all of the opportunities which are there in contrast.
Though in your case it likely helped you're a bit of a man with no country re: specific markets.Lincoln wrote:No reason you can't do both.

Maybe, but I had lived in both cities in which I interviewed, so it wasn't a total blank slate.Arbiter213 wrote:Though in your case it likely helped you're a bit of a man with no country re: specific markets.

Ha yeah, that's what I was getting at. I probably could have just said Albany considering there isn't much else around that area. I've noticed a handful of biglaw firms have offices in places like Albany and Stamford, CT. I'm just beginning my research on this, so I don't have a great understanding of how the hiring works for these places. Ever heard of a Cornell grad getting biglaw in Albany?oldad wrote:Arbiter213 wrote:wutkemosabe wrote:and eastern NY.
Albany, bro.
No. But I also haven't heard of anyone trying very hard. Many a all offices do not have summer programs.kemosabe wrote:

They publish a book with each class's grade distribution. There's not actually a unified curve, because not everyone has the same professors. That said, it's almost certainly something like a 3.48CR2012 wrote:Will we ever find out what the actual curve was for 1L Fall Semester?
