Los Angeles Firms w/ Median Cutoff?

Post by Anonymous User » Thu Oct 01, 2015 7:32 pm

What are a few Los Angeles / LA county firms that have GPA cutoff of median (or ~3.3)? Top 50, not in California, but with very strong connections and the possibility of a very good LoR from someone who has regional influence. No journal, but specialized moot court.

If you need specifics, I can PM you from my personal account, but I'd like to stay anonymous since I will be mailing any firms you name ITT.

As far as I know biglaw is basically all at least 3.6 <
Pretty much on the same boat and nothing but rejections/ignore from them.

midsize firms will take 3.5 < and i am sure some firms will take medians.

smaller firms = no care gpa.

Cutoffs vary by school and you're gonna need a solid network/luck to get biglaw in California from an out-of-state T50. Regardless, you should be massmailing every firm and not wasting your time doing this.

I'm making an effort to setup calls / irl meetings with partners at large firms who are alums of my UG or LS. Going well so far.
