You can find how many graduates land biglaw on TLS, on school websites, and on ABAs website. As far as recent trends go:

Cornell >> NU >>> Michigan >> GULC

pretty strong. top half at any T14 will put you in a strong position for a large law firm. at the lower T14s, you run into issues once you dip into the lower 1/3 of the class. Its not impossible to get big law at that point, but it is an extremely uphill battle.

If you are at median at GULC, decent chances, esp. with work experience.

Look for yourself. Under "Key Stats," add up the Large Law Firm score with the Federal Clerkship Rate to get a general idea of big law placement.

Numbers don't matter all that much if you mess up the screener...
