Question for all of the peeps who live on campus (or use the law school for mail), does the Mail Room take pre-paid FedEx, USPS, or UPS packages for outgoing mail?

We're doing pretty well. We are trying to figure out which other sections are also overrepresented in being selected for defenders.

Context clues.

section 5, relentless in its overachievement and gunner ways. enjoy that curve

Just wanted to note that below is Fred's first post on the board, and it was posted one day after the Fall term began.

Fred012 wrote:1L here, with a couple career questions. let me know if there's a better place to put this.

1) What is median grades after 1L at HLS? Is it like half Hs and half Ps?

2) If only looking at NYC biglaw, where does median place you - holding all else constant (i.e. avg. work experience, UG prestige, interviewing skills). Is it V25-V50, like Caldawater, Fried Frank, Paul Hastings, etc.?

3) How many H's do you need to make the cut at the bottom end of V10 NYC - Weil, Clearly, Latham, Gibson, Paul Weiss, etc.?

4) Same question for the elites - Wachtell, Cravath, Skadden, SulCrom

I know there are huge ranges and exceptions to each of these (people doing way better or worse than their grades) but just looking for on average

Thank you!

seems like legitimate, non-gunner questions to me (mostly about median, placement). in any case, glad i was a born a 3

Hey man, don't let them get you down.

Also I like your bow-tie.

Fred012 · Post by **Fred012** » Wed Oct 01, 2014 5:42 pm

bow tie guy is probably in 5

HorseThief · Post by **HorseThief** » Wed Oct 01, 2014 6:03 pm

For the record, he's in 4.

Inboston · Post by **Inboston** » Wed Oct 01, 2014 9:08 pm

Bowtie guy is honestly very mellow and not gunnerish in class. I am in section 4 but wear no bowtie

HorseThief · Post by **HorseThief** » Wed Oct 01, 2014 9:13 pm

But he was supposed to be the chosen one....

Perhaps the time of prophecy is not yet upon us.

Fred012 · Post by **Fred012** » Wed Oct 01, 2014 10:11 pm

if he were a gunner he would be in 5. has the tis empirical study taught us nothing?

If it makes you feel better, we have another gunner, albeit a nice gunner, who regularly indulges in bow ties.
Perhaps the prophecy is just misinterpreted?
