Top Law Schools

My School's data leaves much to be desired. Would appreciate some anecdotal/grape vine info from TLS. I know Weil and Skadden are TCR at top firms but also looking for info at ranking V15-100. Thank you.

Where do you go to school and what us your GPA?

MVP 3.1x

I don't know MVP's grades well enough but I think I'd look at SRZ, Cadwalader, DLA Piper ... Afraid to speculate too much because GPA floors can be school dependant

Ok Thanks. I've been doing research and it looks something like this (in no particular order). Are there any big class/transactional NYC/grades forgiving firms I'm missing out on?

I don't know Penn GPAs well enough but some of the firms there I'd consider aggressive for someone with a markedly below median GPA.

I'll let someone who is younger/more in touch with things than I am fill in but I think some are aggressive. You're hitting all of the firms that I'd include, though, so as long as you prioritize those and only have a few of the more grade-selective firms you should be fine.

I got a lot of CBs with many of the firms you mentioned (3.1 at CCN).

Didn't get Proskaur, milbank, shearman, kirkland, weil (signed up for open slots at these 2) etc. I would add Fried Frank to your list.

Here's what I bid (super conservatively) last year and had 9 CBs.

Allen and Overy is also pretty forgiving about grades, so is Lowenstein Sandler (NY).
