GPA or CLASS RANK: What matters
Do employers like higher GPA's or higher class ranking? Basically, if an employer has about a 3.5 cutoff does that mean the same thing for all schools even if in one school a 3.5 is top 10% and in another its top 33%?

More likely than not, the school at which 3.5 is top 33% is probably a better school, so maybe.Anonymous User wrote:Do employers like higher GPA's or higher class ranking?

Otherwise, no. They care about class rank. Cutoffs mean very little unless the employer does most of its recruiting at your school. Even then, I'd be skeptical. Some go higher; some go lower. In the end, I think OCI callback data (or preselect data) is what you should go on.

Employers are smart. They care about rank... GPA is absolutely meaningless, but for the associated rank.Anonymous User wrote:Do employers like higher GPA's or higher class ranking?

Re: GPA or CLASS RANK: What matters
Employers are dumb. Between the two local Community College School of Law's in your preferred market, take the one with the 4.0 curve, because it's totally too hard to figure out that a 3.7 there means less than a 3.4 at the one with the 3.0 curve. If the hiring partners could figure out those 'greater than' and 'less than' relationships and all that, why would they have gone to lawl school?Anonymous User wrote:Employers are smart.
