I guess it's interesting but for people who actually know about job process, this is old news. Most lawyers will tell you the same thing unless they're pretentious dicks.cool of law wrote:http://www.lawschoolpodcaster.com/2011/ ... -get-into/

This entire paragraph is rubbish. assuming you can finish with a better class rank because you are attending a lower ranked school is a dangerous game. better off assuming you'll finish median wherever you go and I would much rather be median at Boalt than median at Rutgers.As an illustrative hypothetical, imagine an average student (GPA 3.25‐3.5) at 47th ranked University of Florida. Using the fifth column from Table 11 (AJD regressions on salary), we can predict how her earnings would be affected under various counterfactuals. If she had attended 20th ranked George Washington University, her grades likely would have slipped to the 2.75‐3.0 range, and her salary would drop considerably (by 22%, all other factors held constant.) Even if she had managed to get a spot at 7th ranked UC Berkeley, where the tier premiums are highest, her grades likely would have fallen into the 2.5‐2.75 range, and her salary would be 7% lower. On the other hand, if she had attended 80th ranked Rutgers, she probably could have improved her grades to land in the 3.5‐3.75 range, and earned a 13% higher salary.
