I wonder how the T25s are doing though.Anonymous User wrote:All of my below-median T14 friends have at least one offer at this time. The above-median ones are talking about choosing between S&C and Cleary. I think the hiring is up tremendously.
S&C won't even talk to people below the top 10% at the lower t14s.Anonymous User wrote:All of my below-median T14 friends have at least one offer at this time. The above-median ones are talking about choosing between S&C and Cleary. I think the hiring is up tremendously.

I have a T2 friend that is killing it and isn't top 1-2% (more like top 5-10%, but last year that was unheard of).minnbills wrote:I wonder how the T25s are doing though.Anonymous User wrote:All of my below-median T14 friends have at least one offer at this time.

Maybe he didn't mean lower T14? I'm at CCN, and I know a couple people around top third (maybe closer to median) who got callbacks there. Although I've yet to hear back from them as to whether those turned into offers...Julio_El_Chavo wrote:S&C won't even talk to people below the top 10% at the lower t14s.Anonymous User wrote:All of my below-median T14 friends have at least one offer at this time.

From the bowels of T2-ness, it is unreal for me to see someone essentially equate (or at least consider in the same category) getting nothing with getting "only" something at the lower end of V100. At my T2, literally 1-2 students in each class get a job with a V100. A few more get non-V-rated market-paying jobs. Another 10 or so head to midlaw/NLJ250. That's it...Anonymous User wrote:It feels about the same for me, probably better. Maybe it's better at the higher end of the spectrum? Where do you go to school? I'm at CCN and know so many people here with multiple V5/V10 offers even with so-so GPAs. Yeah, of course, I see some people ending up with nothing or only something at the lower end of the V100, but honestly, I think a lot of that is boiling down to poor interview skills (or very poor grades) on their part.
Yeah, sorry if that came across as insensitive. It's easy to lose perspective. It's just that when roughly a third of the class is getting V20, a V80 or V90 or V100 doesn't look as hot. I feel like each law school is its own little bubble and, in a sense, the only people you really have as points of comparison for your own personal success are your classmates.Anonymous User wrote:From the bowels of T2-ness, it is unreal for me to see someone essentially equate (or at least consider in the same category) getting nothing with getting "only" something at the lower end of V100.

Sometimes I feel like I am in an alternate universe from the people on this board.
They are selective, but this isn't true.Julio_El_Chavo wrote:S&C won't even talk to people below the top 10% at the lower t14s.Anonymous User wrote:All of my below-median T14 friends have at least one offer at this time.

I hear ya. I'm the transfer from above, and I remember there were times during 1L year when I would worry whether I'd have a job at all upon graduation. Now I'm at CCN and whining that I can't get V25 callbacks, when I have multiple V50 offers. Its insane how much my perspective has changed, and its actually a bit shameful when you think about it, given how lucky most of us are.Anonymous User wrote:Yeah, sorry if that came across as insensitive.
