So 2 friends equals a trend?Anonymous User wrote:OP here. I've learned this from sad experience. One of my friends is a junior associated and graduated around median. He gets ZERO calls from recruiters. Another friend, a graduate from UVA during the same year and a junior associate at a similarly-ranked firm, left with a 3.5+ and gets 3-4 calls a week.
Yeah, this makes it standard. HTH your friend who is an associated is probably just an outcast.Anonymous User wrote:OP here. I've learned this from sad experience.

You know, I will admit, I didn't know grades mattered for lateral recruiting, so I have determined this thread was not a total waste of time for me. Thanks, OP. I appreciate the reminder not to bomb 2L & 3L out of laziness.IAFG wrote:What a strange thread.

Also a good point. Of course, recruiters are only one way of lateraling, and probably not even the best way, but it does say something about lateral hiring practices.Helmholtz wrote:But TLS told me that it doesn't matter where you went to school after you get your first job.
