2L job search / Reference from Partner« on: July 25, 2008, 02:08:02 PM »
Is it wise, as an SA, to ask a named partner to be a reference for future employers? He has the best knowledge of my work. I believe the firm would like to keep me next summer, so it's a seemingly delicate subject.

3L job search / Re: Does it mean anything when a firm asks for a transcript?« on: July 24, 2008, 11:58:03 PM »Does it mean anything when a firm you've applied to asks for a transcript, or has my desperation driven me nuts? I've heard from an attorney who used to do interviewing that sometimes the recruiting administrator simply needs all materials required by the firm before the candidate is considered, regardless of his qualifications. Then again, they might be interested. 54

General Board / Re: bad grades, GPA 3.03 law school hopeful« on: July 17, 2008, 11:24:37 PM »
2.90, top 20. there's plenty of hope. 95th percentile or higher should get you into a couple top 25's; 170+ -may- get you into splitter friendly schools like northwestern.

Transferring / Re: Seton Hall vs. Washington U« on: June 29, 2008, 01:08:29 PM »
Wash. U. has way better respect and backup options if you don't make NYC. This really isn't much of a question.

Where should I go next fall? / Re: WUSTL Full Ride vs. Vanderbilt« on: January 23, 2008, 10:04:15 PM »
You'll be in a huge amount of debt at Vandy, and WUSTL should keep open just about as many doors. I would choose WUSTL without a second thought unless Vandy comes through with money (ask them).

Law School Applications / Re: Should I go to law school?« on: January 05, 2008, 03:00:43 PM »
If your numbers are good enough to get significant scholarships at T14s, and you think a JD may further your career, I would recommend going -- particularly so since I assume you won't be losing a lot of money by not working, since you aren't presently working in a lucrative field.
I, for one, am enjoying law school and am very glad I made the choice to go. I did not want to find myself regretting not going 10 years down the road, when it would be much more difficult to go due to increased responsibilities. 59

Most of the big firms that are interested in me have (unfortunately) asked me for my undergraduate transcript. If they see that C on your last semester, they may not like it.

General board for soon-to-be 1Ls / Re: scholarship interview attire« on: January 02, 2008, 04:19:31 PM »
is a scholarship interview anything more than meeting with an adcomm to talk? if so, you better dress up. otherwise... at one particular school I toured, I wore jeans and an untucked button-down shirt. they still gave me a scholarship increase. i don't think the adcomms care too much what you wear. the other prospectives might.
