What Are My Chances? Forum

Also I've had a quick thought. SU's grading is a bit different...A- is not 3.7, but rather a 3.63....B+ is a 3.33 instead of 3.3. This had a negative effect on my GPA, since the A- hit harder than it would of at any other school. Kinda sucks my schools does this -- anyone else have something like this?

definitely appreciate all the commentary, but to get back to the main question, I'm looking at NYU/CLS, not HYS. Also, I've been thinking of UCLA, which has very attainable numbers for me. Top 75% was a 3.70 the 2015 509 says, so I think I have a solid shot there. Definitely want to work in Seattle, and I think UCLA has a strong national recognition. NYU/CLS would be great also, just to get into biglaw right out of school, then hopefully move westward.

I'd apply to NYU and CLS. You stand a reasonable chance at both.(better shot at NYU than CLS) I think you'd be in at UCLA but you can likely do better. Might be able to get Cal or Penn as well.(again, you stand a reasonable chance)

Can I ask how you like (or don't like) SU? I talked to two SU students (randomly, at a bar, while I was on vacation) and they said they loved SU and that the same firms that do OCI at UW go to SU and you have just as good of a chance with employment *in* Seattle at SU as UW. Thoughts?

I love SU as well. Great professors/facility/location. But at the same time, legal market is tough right now, and I'm aiming for BigLaw. With that being said, UCLA/NYU has amazing biglaw placement, SU not so much
