Top Law Schools

I have done a good amount of research, but I have to submit my bid list soon for a career advising appointment tomorrow and I was hoping to get some feedback. Im at Cornell, at a 3.56 (median likely around 3.4-3.5). I am interested primarily in litigation, specifically employment/labor (and doing related work this summer). I am interested in NY/maybe DC. I am more interested in getting a job, and also working at a firm with a good labor/employment practice, then simply going to the highest vault firm I can get.

I am still just a beginner in compiling my info, but would really appreciate some comments. My Day 3 is especially a mess.

OP here. Bumpn cuz im shootin to turn this in in the hour

Wait when is this due?

But your list looks good. I think it looks too conservative. You should have Latham higher up.

I had to submit a tentative draft before my advising appointment later today, but Im still working the list. Thanks for the feedback. I feel like it may be too conservative too. Any suggestions on how to switch it up?

Bumpn before my meeting today

It's likely that the median is higher than what you think. Dean's List (30%) was at 3.64 or so this semester, and 3.603; as such, the median is probably higher than 3.5.

could be more feast or famine. A lot more people were given A- or above this semester and a lot more people were given B's and B-. That would still give you a higher deans list and a median around 3.4 something.
