[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The better the school, the higher the margin of error.  As PP said -- at many top 50 if you are 10% and law review AND you interview well -- you are all set for big law.  But T14 you could be top 50% or even lower and still have good prospects.  You do not know how you will do in law school until you do it.  I also agree with PP who said that you will not be the only super smart person there at the T50 -- there will be lots of rivals for those slots.  So can you do it at a T50 --- yes of course.  I went to a T50 and am Big law partner at a high big law firm.  Out of my class there are less than 5 Big law partners though.  So not an easy road.  [/quote]

My household could be called tale of two lawyers - DH - a lawyer who was a top performing student from a "lower ranked school" who eventually went on to success with Federal Clerkship , top firm equity partnership after busting his ass for years. And a kid currently attending a top 5 law school, with mediocre grades, big personality, who scored a great job summer associate after 1L at the firm of his choice.  So far, it's astounding to all of us what an easier path the top 14 student, with zero grades and 1 online internship, has.  [/quote]
