University of Arizona (In-state sticker) Still bad decision? Forum

I know a few top 10% types that struck out at OCI (biglaw, midlaw, or otherwise).

There is evidence to suggest that combined LSAT/GPA corelate with class rank. Going in house is something that you can't typically do untill you have a few years of firm experience. Tucson is cheap but lets be real, you can't live there on five hundred dollars a month - it isn't Ghana. Do you want to blow any more smoke?

I think there are problems with the underlined statement. At the very least, the correlation, if any, should be highly qualified. GPA for one can be influenced by a number of factors. Weakness of major, type of undergrad etc. The LSAT at best, only correlates, if at all, to a fraction of one's chances of success. Furthermore, the majority of the entering class would have numbers that fall within a certain, relatively close range, making any predictions or correlations difficult.

Also, why Ghana man? Couldn't you have used Guymon, Oklahoma or something?

I mean, there have been studies done on it which establish the contentions general truth. That being said, yes it varies by school. A guy with a 3.2 at MIT and a 166 will probably outperform his expected performance, it isn't a perfect correlation by any means.

Why not Ghana? You got some problem with Ghana bro?

No, I love Ghana. There are more realistic comparisons right here in the United States. Ghana's extreme.

From the UofA or a different school? These people are unemployed still or have found jobs? Sounds redic to get those grades and not be able to land a job.

Both U of A and ASU.

You realize the "recession" is the new normal right?

There are basically 40 SA positions available in AZ - barely enough room to hire all of the top 10% students from UA/ASU. Then you add students from t20 schools, and misc. t1/t2 schools with ties to AZ and it's not that redic at all.

Yeah I get all that, but I asked you if these people you know that were in the top 10% are still unemployed or have they found jobs outside of OCI. If they are unemployed, I think it is redic.

The students I am familiar with have yet to graduate.

Look at the red and grey areas (not for the faint of heart).

ITE is redic.

I highly doubt that the students you are familiar with will not be able to secure legit jobs in AZ after they graduate, granted they are actually in the top 10%. Thanks for the link, but I have seen LST before.
