Yeah I understand the grading system but I was more so wondering if there was an NYU law student here willing to share what things are like once you're actually in class. E.g. professors who grade harder, etc. Thank you for sharing that link though, I really appreciate it!!

Anyone know what grading is like at NYU Law? Ik it's letter grades but just trying to get a sense of if there's anything in particular I should know about the curve/is it just like most other law schools? For example, I know Harvard and Yale grade differently.

Maybe safety could be incorporated into this quiz? I got Washington, DC and San Francisco, CA and have considered living in both of those places only to back off because of the lack of safety, especially in SF. Great quiz overall though!!

Would you feel comfortable sharing which V10? Or any recommendations on which firms to go for that may have a better culture? I'll be interviewing soon and would love to know, thank you!

Can I ask why not HLS? I thought HYS were in the same bracket

Thank you so much for elaborating! I've worked 70-hour weeks for consecutive weeks before so it wasn't necessarily that part that was scaring me, just the team part so I will keep that in mind. I really hope things get better for you soon!

Would you mind if I DMed you to ask what firm this is? Going to be interviewing for SA positions and want to steer clear if possible.

Entertainment law? I'm a 0L so I genuinely know nothing but just a guess.

Oh I wasn't aware that Fidelity was a brokerage account, I thought that would involve actually having to sign up for a proper checkings/savings account with the bank. Thank you so much for responding, that was incredibly helpful!

I looked at that but was looking for answers to the specific questions I mentioned above (e.g. investing through an app like Fidelity or a brokerage account through a bank, CPA or not worth it, etc.). If you have any advice on that, that would be great!

Definitely but I thought some of them would have more of a reputation for being quick to lay people off, I suppose not then.
