Kirkland ny class numbers are out.

[Anonymous User]

S&C: 20 Harvard, 14 Yale, 13 Columbia, 8 NYU
Cleary: 26 Harvard, 20 Columbia, 17 NYU

Both numbers are via friends so I can't 100% confirm this data nor provide additional info on other schools. Hopefully someone who is summering at these firms will come along and fill out the rest.

I'm shocked at the lack of T2 schools. I thought people who were top 5% at T2s had a good chance for biglaw ny or other v100.

most of the data so far is really V10 (and to a much lesser extent) V50 centric. I'm sure if the entire NLJ250 were shown, in secondary markets especially, the tippity top of T2s would be more prevalent.

I imagine there are a good amount of us at satellite offices that have only 5-10 SA's that don't feel comfortable possibly outing themselves about the numbers. Maybe I'm just paranoid though.

Some firms also haven't sent info yet.

What's Kirkland's numbers? I'm curious.

Does this take into account Kirkland-Chicago's numbers?

Or secondary markets. Also paranoid.

isn't that list incomplete? i think the op even said so.

Maybe it is. That's what K&E sent out though. Kind of weird for them to be sending out incomplete information.

I think you're still missing large numbers in that list. A quick count gets me to over 100 SAs from HLS.

Pretty freakin TTT.

Kirkland NY has always had significantly lower standards than big daddy in Chicago. I don't think this is anything out of the ordinary for them. It's kind of funny to think that it's technically a V10. Yet another reason why the Vault rankings lose a lot of significance when dealing with satellite offices.

[ahnhub]

why is it TTT?

[Helmholtz]

why is it TTT?

I'm guessing because of the pretty mediocre representation from HYSCCN. Maybe the fact that only 55 percent of their summers come from the T13 (in comparison, a lot of the top NYC firms that have been posted in this thread are usually in the 80–90 percent range in that regard).

Hahaha--well if you count GULC 75% came from T-14. GULC-trolling, delivered as cool as the other side of the pillow.

Well, if we count GULC, then most elite NYC firms in this thread have closer to 90 percent. It doesn't really matter though. Maybe Kirkland places more emphasis on grades than prestige of school. Maybe Kirkland was doing a favor to the legal community by taking in a few of the 650 C/O 2013 GULC students. I don't know. It doesn't really matter one way or the other. I was more just using the term "T13" to clearly denote that I was not including either of the schools tied at 14th.

Potentially stupid question from a 1L: Why are all of the reports ITT only for NY offices? Do the other offices keep their associate classes a closely guarded secret, or do you all only care about NYC?
