The difference between CN and MVP is striking. (I'm assuming Chicago is low due to small class size and self-selection.)

yeah! that's why I was thinking about transferring from MPV to CN, but people told me it doesn't make a difference...which I don't really understand.
I saw the SA class list of DPW from last year and was shocked.

I'm going to a V10 where there is 1 person from M and none from V. More from P but not by much. VAST majority of class = YHCN. Not sure how representative of all firms that is but it struck me a lot.

Transferring from MVP to CN probably makes a difference for only a select few firms. For most firms, even in the V25, if you have the grades necessary at MVP (top third/quarter?) to transfer to CN then you're already qualified.

Enjoy Cleary NY?

Pretty sure there are M or V people, in some cases several, going to every other non-WLRK V10.
