Current grades ~top15%. Why would it depend on firm prestige?

Re: SA contingent on 2L grades
Likely, maintaining top half will be sufficient, particularly if you do good work over the summer. Straight Ps, if far removed from your previous grades, might be problematic.Anonymous User wrote:HYS, have an SA offer that mentioned a requirement to maintain the same level of academic success.

Re: SA contingent on 2L grades
My letter said the same; I called up the recruiter directly and spoke with her. If you're an A- student, don't become a B- student. That's what they're trying to prevent.Anonymous User wrote:Current grades ~top15%. Why would it depend on firm prestige?

What makes you say this? I thought GDC was regarded fairly well...Anonymous User wrote:Gibson Dunn will no offer you for a significant grade drop but not a slight grade drop. Why the hell anyone would go to Gibson Dunn is beyond me but w/e.
And, @OP, I had a significant drop in grades (think top 10% to 30-40%) and was fine at a firm with language like that in the offer letter. I think really solid work over the summer trumps all else.
