Am I screwed?
What would be my strategy?

Don't bid on any firm that has a median GPA > 3.5 as indicated by GULC's GPA history page.

Re: MEDIAN at Georgetown
In the same boat. Any advice would be appreciated. And any advice on estimating the selectivity of the "insufficient data" firms, outside of Vault ranking?

Re: MEDIAN at Georgetown
If you think that median at Georgetown is remotely competitive for firms with medians near 3.5 I think you're wildly mistaken. If, as previously, the GPA number are based on the time period starting in 1998, then you have to remember the curve was eased in 2009 (top-third used to be approximately 0.1 lower than it is now) and biglaw was significantly easier pre-2008.CounselorNebby wrote:Don't bid on any firm that has a median GPA > 3.5 as indicated by GULC's GPA history page.

Re: MEDIAN at Georgetown
According to the information on the website behind the login-wall the GPA data is from 2009-2013. I wasn't saying, "You'll definitely get a firm whose median is 3.49," rather I was saying, "You won't get a firm whose median is 3.5 or higher."dead head wrote:If you think that median at Georgetown is remotely competitive for firms with medians near 3.5 I think you're wildly mistaken.
