@hilltern: Your guess is as good as mine, but I've always been shocked that they weren't t6. I don't see them falling lower than 6 for the foreseeable future. Penn, to me, does better than Columbia and NYU in placements. So I think it stays within the t6 and Columbia and NYU join penn back into the t6. All of them are great schools, obviously, we are nitpicking very minor details when you get to schools ranked that high and that highly regarded.

Penn Columbia and nyu are the same but nyu does pi better Columbia does biglaw better and Penn is cheaper

U need higher grades at Penn for the v10

ConservativeFlagBearer

Not much of a difference until you hit Chicago at which point HYSC are a league of their own

[] WhisperingWillingBoar

@ConservativeFlagBearer: I agree with your sentiment that HYSC are in a league of their own, but using v10 to distinguish Columbia from penn is odd. While we are pre-law/law school applicants and may care about those, no one in the legal industry cares at all about the v5/10/15/20/30/50 distinctions. They all pay the same (most of them at least) and many of the ones that actually pay more are ranked lower because they are smaller. NYU is the best school for public interest, maybe outside of yale.

What does v5/10 etc mean?

ConservativeFlagBearer

20:37

I said they’re basically the same, but this is something that differentiates them. V10 is desirable to some due to exit ops. And i think HLS has much better PI ops than NYU.

Vault rankings, basically rankings for BL firms

Anyone willing to give opinion on a 166 3.56 Puerto Rican, currently working as a biglaw paralegal? :)

FurtiveBonobo

21:21

For GW and Georgetown

thelawofthecricket

21:56

@FurtiveBonobo: youre below both 25ths for georgetown and both medians for GW so in either case i think it'll be tough...i think even with URM status georgetown will be a reach but GW could be a lock with strong statements/applying earlier

thelawofthecricket

21:56

do you plan on retaking the lsat?

FurtiveBonobo

Yeah, in October

Does anyone know much about the University of Minnesota? I have a 165 LSAT score but a 3.09 CAS GPA. I have a valid reason for the GPA and I will obviously explain that. I was planning on applying Early Decision, but I’m not sure if I should wait until after the October LSAT to try for a better score or if it would be better to get it in earlier.

Any thoughts on a 168 3.7? Thinking of applying to Georgetown early decision. Korean American dual citizen who is currently a senior at Georgetown

Unless you take a bunch of classes and get A+’s and somehow break median

I took the lsat and got 168 back to back, so I don't know if that's my ceiling but I'm not sure if I can improve much more :'(

+ applying early decision means I don't get my grades back for this semester as well

That sucks, I was hoping being a gtown undergrad and applying ED might help me a bit
