Cleary tells recruits outright that they don't consider grades for making offers. I'm not sure about the others but I know they at least ask for grades. Judging by the close to 100% offer rates at these firms it's hard to believe they consider grades that much.

OTOH, doesn't seem that likely that top 5% types will suddenly lose their edge in 2L.ZXCVBNM wrote:Cleary tells recruits outright that they don't consider grades for making offers.

I've spoken a number of people that have fallen from top of the class to top quarter or third and still received offers. I guess all of this is speculative but I don't think there is a lot to worry about.

What about say - if you're a transfer who doesn't do so well at your new school?

It's like 1L all over again.

is it 1l again for transfers? it can't be as hard to keep a big law offer as it is to receive one.

fair, but with these offer rates of close to 100%, I think it's yours to lose.

I totally hope so. I just don't want my grades to be the reason I lose it.Anonymous User wrote:fair, but with these offer rates of close to 100%, I think it's yours to lose.

Common sense says that if firms had the mentality that transfers still had to "prove" themselves, they wouldn't summer them in the first place.megaTTTron wrote:I totally hope so.

Common sense also says that anyone with an ivysaur avatar is a straight-up badass. Let's hope, for both our sakes, common sense prevails.d34dluk3 wrote:Common sense says that if firms had the mentality that transfers still had to "prove" themselves, they wouldn't summer them in the first place.megaTTTron wrote:I totally hope so.

But there are also a lot of top 10%, top 25%, etc. folks at V10s. They might even outnumber the top 5% people at some V10s.G. T. L. Rev. wrote:Yeah, in my experience, they really don't.

If you think about it, the top-25% people necessarily outnumber the top-5% people at ANY firm...RVP11 wrote:But there are also a lot of top 10%, top 25%, etc. folks at V10s.
