Top Law Schools

.

It seems like a good list. I don't really know how top 13% at GULC shakes out ITE. It might be a little top-heavy, but I'm not sure. GULC is huge, so that means there are like 80 students 'ahead' of you and a bunch right in the same neighborhood GPA wise. Has career services given you any specific guidance?

You're 'missing' Hogan Lovels, which is right up there with Wilmer and A&P. I'd also look into O'Melveney DC, I've heard good things about that office.

I'm not sure Covington will do you any good as last on your list, if it's in order. Is GULC all lottery? Cov will likely be very popular, so I feel like it would make sense to either move it up on your list or else to put something there that you are more likely to actually obtain.

I hedge, so I might put some DC firms that are likely to be at least incrementaly less selective on the list but that are still quite good - like Crowell, Dickstein, etc. Latham DC is pretty big and I get the impression it's a bit less Lathamy than NYC, it might be worth a bid as a hedge because the people 'ahead' of you at GULC might avoid it on the theory they have options and Latham is still Latham, if that makes any sense.

Those are my thoughts.

Is that Gibson NY or DC? I was told DC has a hard 3.7 GPA cutoff, and unless you're in S3, being Top 13 won't hit that. NY obviously has lower standards.

Thanks for the help. Any thoughts on other NY firms I should add?

safeties?

Hughes isn't doing EIW for NY, only DC. You have to do a separate application.

This looks too ambitious to me.
