Survey of Job Outcome and Grades compared to LSAT Score

Post by M&ADE » Thu Nov 13, 2014 12:03 pm

Since all the posts floating around these days are "What are my chances with [LSAT Score]?" I was curious to see what job outcomes and grades TLS folks got based on their LSAT. For simplicity's sake with jobs, I'm referring to first job, because we all know that everyone, through hustle, grit, and determination, can still reach their dream job if they try hard enough. :lol:

JUST POST:
1) Job Outcome (select from categories below)
2) LSAT score
3) School range and GPA (T14, Top 50, Top 100, TTTT)

Job Outcome Categories (First job only)
- Big Law OR market-paying boutique (and applicable Vault/NLJ250 range or size of firm)
- MidLaw (let's say above $90K or above 50 attorneys)
- Small-firm
- In-House
- BigFed
- State/local gov't
- Public Interest / Non-Profit
- Contract Attorney / Solo Practitioner
- Unemployed / not a practicing attorney

I'm curious to see just how rare those special snowflakes really are (I have a friend at a V10 in major metro area who scored below a 150 LSAT, but crushed law school). A poll won't work because there are too many job outcomes to use a TLS poll effectively.

Mods: posted here for anonymity's sake and since it is job-related.

170+: Some mix but a lot of BigLaw
160-169: Mixed
159-: Mixed with a lot more doc review/unemployment

/thread

The reason is LSAT tracks schools. The only way this thread becomes interesting is if lots of high LSAT folks at TTTs start posting AND state whether they had jobs lined up before law school or not.

Mine:
1) BigLaw
2) 177
3) HYS
