Chicago kids are flocking to Skadden in droves now that there is that v3 prestige.

Partially explains why to my knowledge our NY numbers for every other V20 are down (STB might be the same actually). Poached by Sk@dden

That's what shocked me the most, after you told me how many other NYC firms were getting the cold shoulder from us.

What's wrong with Skadden? And is it really more fratty than Kirkland/Latham/STB?

Definitely more fratty than STB. Maybe comparable to latham/kirkland

I've been saying GW got wrecked this year, and seeing both STB and Skadden take a ton from Georgetown but none from us is towards that trend.

I think sadden is on the higher end of shitty NYC v10s but what do I know. I think relative to people's options at Chicago it's not a great choice.

there are a few transfers going to Skadden NYC which may account for higher than expected Skadden numbers

Surprised by this. I thought skadden would be rather standard fare for a median kid at chicago.
ETA: i realize maybe that's what you meant . Sry

From the numbers I have Skadden is more grade selective than a lot of the other v10s.

I don't think it is. From various documents floating around, Skadden NY has a much lower yield than its V5 "peers."

Median at UChi is completely in play for every NY firm other than WLRK and maybe Boies depending on intra-class competition for it. I have numbers to support that 4 years running it's not just my homer schtick.
So Mal's point (which I probably agree with) is why choose Skadden over CSM/S&C/STB/DPW/Cleary/etc. I admit a lot of ignorance though because I know zero people who went to Skadden NY.

Damn that's pretty good. I don't have all the data in front of me, but I think CSM/S&C/STB/DPW/Cleary/Skadden/L&W/Boies take 80-100% of their class from Stone (top thirdish) and above at CLS.

The callback data from the last three years makes it look like theyre more grade selective. But maybe I'm mixing up cause and effect.

M too... you have to be generally in the top third at least.

They call back pretty much everyone at like 179+ which makes it look like they are grade selective but the amount of CBs is so high that the bottom 25-50% of people getting called back represents enough to literally give every NY seeker multiple to several V10 offers. Or in other words if you look at the 30-40 who actually end up accepting NY V2-20s they are almost invariably 176-179s.
I was a little surprised to see what it looked like on paper though too.

The fact that all those firms are in play doesn't mean everyone gets em all. And even for those who do I could see Skadden appealing if you might want to come back to Chicago.

That's actually really valid. Wouldn't surprise me if some people struck out in Chi but Skadden keeps a potential office switch in play (Kirkland, Latham, and Sidley NY all hire very few to none from here).

Ha yea, being median at UChi and having all those options is pretty fantastic. Banjo's right that you pretty much have to be Stone at CLS to have a decent shot at any of those firms listed (all take 80%+).
Skadden NYC with 21 from Columbia though? Wow. Abnormally large representation there.

If Skadden alone took 21 people it doesn't sound like you have to be a Stone scholar.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
