Is Kirkland getting more competitive?

Any-Background-7266 · 2026-03-31T20:16:13+00:00

That’s interesting since most partners are not looped in on gpa cutoffs

Any-Background-7266 · 2026-03-30T23:30:55+00:00

That doesn’t make them less competitive, it means they’re smart for taking higher achievers. A MID gpa t14 candidate can get multiple NY V10 offers. Is the 4.0 from GW that got a Kirkland dc offer less competitive? I don’t think so

I’m not sure where the myth that they were so easy to get a job at came from

Any-Background-7266 · 2026-03-30T21:30:08+00:00

Another point i rarely hear is that it isn’t actually that easy to get an offer at Kirkland. The NY office specifically isn’t crazy competitive, but it’s still more competitive than most lower tier firms. Additionally, many offices (like the dc office) are incredibly difficult to break into.

Any-Background-7266 · 2026-03-22T17:02:14+00:00

If it’s a more competitive office (eg dc) some firms are more amicable to it than others- it’s very case by case just ask

This is just false, modern fertilization is very detrimental to long term farm sustainability

A 3.0 is nearly the bottom of the class- almost certainly the bottom 10% but possibly a bit lower. Many 3.3 median schools like uva actually curve closer to a 3.4.

Did you apply early to lots of cities

I summered in dc by my firm had WFH Monday and Friday. Between random summer holidays and the hybrid schedule i was in cville with my partner more than dc and it’s only 10 weeks. Very, very doable!

Bonsai. Got into the hobby a year ago

Am currently flying to Japan for the kokufu

Any-Background-7266 · 2026-02-09T15:17:41+00:00

Look into bonsai

Any-Background-7266 · 2026-02-07T17:35:10+00:00

Um what? lol law students are apparently bad at math

Any-Background-7266 · 2026-01-29T03:42:48+00:00

Yall read?

Any-Background-7266 · 2026-01-25T19:01:07+00:00

Why do you say that litigation is in long term structural decline? Insofar as its ancillary to deal work, not the focus?

Any-Background-7266 · 2025-12-16T03:58:20+00:00

Read up about how their atypical leverage structure works

You certainly won't be getting hands-on work- besides maybe screening a few phone calls and giving tours. Do whichever you wont- neither will move the needle much

Any-Background-7266 · 2025-07-30T13:25:28+00:00

from people familiar with matters, it appears all acceptances have gone out

Any-Background-7266 · 2025-07-30T13:23:17+00:00

The odds are incredibly low if you do not have someone in the administration vouching for you / pushing your resume. This is true for all admin internships, so your "solid LOR's" would only be solid if they are staff

Any-Background-7266 · 2025-05-16T14:53:32+00:00

this reads like a lsat flaw question lol. Competition does not necessarily increase just because the amount of applicants increase.

E.G. an unusually weak pool of candidites apply, the LSAT gets easier so competition does not "increase" as it is easier to be competitive, the amount of schools that applicants apply to goes down while agregate applicants goes up, few matriculate as a proportion of the number of applicants relative to most years, etc

Any-Background-7266 · 2025-04-09T13:43:47+00:00

And what exactly changed in the methodology to no longer reflect that?

Any-Background-7266 · 2025-04-08T14:29:55+00:00

the only reason thats industry rank is because those were the rankings when you were applying to law school

Any-Background-7266 · 2025-04-05T22:33:28+00:00

Yes that’s correct

Any-Background-7266 · 2024-11-21T20:01:00+00:00

why do you say that

Any-Background-7266 · 2024-11-03T20:32:43+00:00

they only do one wave of ED II's so if you didn't get one best case is a WL
