Top quarter is a rough guesstimate. Transferred for personal reasons. Want to end up in either Chicago or New York City.
Is it worth even trying for: Cravath, Davis Polk, Sidley (Chicago), or Kirkland (Chicago)?
Thoughts on Latham (NY or Chicago), White & Case, Gibson Dunn, Simpson Thatcher, Paul Weiss, Skadden (NY or Chicago), or Sidley (NY)?

If you were at one of MVP you would have had a shot at DPW, Sidley, and Kirkland even before your transfer. So yes, still worth trying for them.Anonymous User wrote:Is it worth even trying for: Cravath, Davis Polk, Sidley (Chicago), or Kirkland (Chicago)?

If you just top quarter at MVP it would be a no. I don't know how much being at Chicago will help you, and I think only a Chicago person could answer that.Anonymous User wrote:Thanks!RVP11 wrote:If you were at one of MVP you would have had a shot at DPW, Sidley, and Kirkland even before your transfer.

I think Cravath is worth a try although I wouldn't get my hopes up. You should certainly bid on all other firms you've listed.

You'll be in a weird position w/r/t Cravath. As far as I can tell, they're not THAT grade snobby at schools like HYSCCN, but much 'below' that and they appear extraordinarily grade conscious. Worth a bid, since it's just one firm.
