Should do fine in NYC. Some of the V10 is more grade conscious than others. Keep working your butt off and try to grade on (~6.7%).Anonymous User wrote:Chances at the V5 in NY?
V10?
I know I need second semester grades, but just looking for some motivation/I'm bored.

You should still get NYC biglaw, but you're looking between V10-V50 if you're around 15%, and probably not higher than V20 if you're in the 25% (note, you can still outperform this based on interviewing/resume/experience/etc, but I think these are what you can assume you'll get at a minimum (unless you bomb interviews)). Also, remember that past the top firms, all the other firms throughout the V100 are generally similar in terms of prestige (and salaries), and you should really look for fit/practice areas. For example, if you want to do first amendment law, go to Cahill over Proskauer, even though the latter is 20 spots higher in Vault rankings.Anonymous User wrote:What if I fall to top 15% or top 25%??

You're in good shape. Congrats and keep up the good work.

Shouldn't it be DCG? I think we can infer what that means.plenipotentiary wrote:Duke, Georgetown, Cornell.alexonfyre wrote:Sorry, I know a lot of law school acronyms, but DGC?

it's right in there too. their class is a little differently comprised though and their school is in a different region, so apples to oranges i guessalexonfyre wrote:So where does 'N' go?paulinaporizkova wrote:blatant cornell trollingorm518 wrote:Shouldn't it be DCG?
