I also know a few other people who interviewed, but I don't know their grades. |
|
Date: April 11th, 2010 11:14 PM Author: Marvelous Address Internal Respiration I doubt I would have gotten an offer anyway. Do you know how many they hired out of CLS? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1279494&forum_id=2#14681248) |
|
Date: April 11th, 2010 11:15 PM Author: Crusty stain They took 4 1Ls total. One was to be from CLS. I assume the other ones were from HLS (since they are based on Boston), NYU, and Chicago (since they have an office out there).
But, I do know they were aiming to take one only from CLS. |

|
Date: April 11th, 2010 11:19 PM Author: histrionic puce death wish I think so. Obviously the dude who has a 4.0 is better positioned than the guy with a 3.7 who let his grades slide, but the latter has still demonstrated the ability to out perform the vast majority of his classmates. Also, it's pretty easy to chalk up a bad 1st or 2nd semester to "not getting it" or "foolishly messing with a winning formula," respectively.

Anyway, thanks - I should probably suck it up and start outlining. |

Date: April 11th, 2010 11:22 PM Author: stirring salmon hominid coffee pot Even with a 3.3 you'd still be at just under a 3.7 (plus the elective graded like a seminar).

What is this Stone Scholar bubble? |
|
Date: April 11th, 2010 11:35 PM Author: stirring salmon hominid coffee pot Just people who are close to Stone or right above it, probably within 3.2-3.6 range. Stone 1L is considered the cutoff to getting a job through OCI. These are the people who are under the most stress right now, I would think. The laziest people I know are the ones who want to do PI after graduation or have gigs they are headed back to.
I hear you on the slacking. Maybe it's just taking two absolutely useless classes (ConLaw and Crim) in the same semester. |

Date: April 12th, 2010 12:00 AM Author: stirring salmon hominid coffee pot I figure there's a good chance of running into some property issues in practice and it's something friends and family usually want to know about, so that class is less useless than the other two.

Date: April 11th, 2010 11:55 PM Author: Godawful wild church building Among those who understand math, there was a consensus.
