How much do someone's grades need to dip to get no-offered?
Say for example, if a firm's usually cut-off for a school is top 20%, would falling down to top 30% be a problem?

20% means 20%. What kind of operation do you think they are running?Anonymous User wrote:How much do someone's grades need to dip to get no-offered?

Indeed. I mean, just turn the tables: If you accepted an offer to summer at a V20 firm and then the firm dipped to V30 after the new Vault rankings came out in June, are you still going to want to work there? Of course not. You'll say "thanks but no thanks" at the end of the summer, and then use 3L OCI to land a firm with a vault ranking that matches your credentials. Firms are the same way with grades.Desert Fox wrote:20% means 20%.

Heard similar stories as well.TheRealSantaClaus wrote:I remember this once happened to a friend of mine. He was all-in on his V35-ish ranked firm, but when they dropped to the V40 by the time he started working, he jumped ship and eventually landed a spot with a V19 firm. Says the experience and prestige there helped him land his recent in-house position. Can't have double standards in the legal profession.rpupkin wrote:Indeed.

Can someone tell people to use the search function so I don't have to see the same goddamn thread get made every month?
