2L Grades and perm. offers
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 3rd, 2010 12:20 PM Author: talented ebony doctorate tattoo Subject: does anyone actually know someone who didn't get an offer Because of 2L grades? Mine didn't go down a ton - It's not like I rocked straigt B's or anything - but they certainly did go down a bit. Summer clerkship is at a firm that supposedly DOES care about 2L grades, especially if you believe the XOXO minions.
Any anicdotes about someone who didn't get a permanent offer specifically because of their grades? If so, how much of a drop in GPA/percentile caused it. TYIA. |

plus if you do very well 1L your GPA barely gets easier to maintain |

Date: May 3rd, 2010 12:29 PM Author: talented ebony doctorate tattoo they didn't go down a ton, but assume a firm that cares as much (at least reportedly) about grades as GDC. Any actual stories of autoding grade fail in this scenario? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1301674&forum_id=2#14894927) |

|
Date: May 3rd, 2010 12:30 PM Author: talented ebony doctorate tattoo according to some former clerks, this firm does ask. how much it matters is what I'm trying to figure out. I'm also attempting to see if the GPA fail is really a myth, or if it only matters if your GPA/rank goes down substantially.

now if you drop from top 10 to median...well there may be hell to pay. |
