I also know a few other people who interviewed, but I don't know their grades. |

Date: April 11th, 2010 11:14 PM Author: Multi-colored sinister depressive masturbator 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: galvanic stead 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: Fishy cerebral potus university 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.

Date: April 11th, 2010 11:20 PM Author: Irradiated bisexual associate national ty. this is reassuring. my grades were quite good first semester but i got burnt out and started hating law school this semester. i guess i'm going to start bearing down and memorize someone else's outlines and read some hornbooks and take some practice exams, but i'm not sure if i have that much faith that i'll be able to do better than median, if that.

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

Date: April 11th, 2010 11:22 PM Author: Adventurous Toilet Seat Tanning Salon Even with a 3.3 you'd still be at just under a 3.7 (plus the elective graded like a seminar). That being said, I'm surprised you're not CoA clerkship gunning like all the other strivers here. Must feel good not to be on the Stone Scholar bubble.

Date: April 11th, 2010 11:26 PM Author: Multi-colored sinister depressive masturbator It's not because I am cool or a rebel. Quite the contrary - I think I'll make a very good biglaw drone.
What is this Stone Scholar bubble? |
|
Date: April 11th, 2010 11:35 PM Author: Adventurous Toilet Seat Tanning Salon 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: Adventurous Toilet Seat Tanning Salon 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. ConLaw is by far my most hated, though. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1279494&forum_id=2#14681911) |

Date: April 11th, 2010 11:55 PM Author: walnut mad-dog skullcap orchestra pit Among those who understand math, there was a consensus.
