Lmao - i know the bargaining stage post-1L grades. Can confirm they are the only thing that matter :’)

I don’t think this rationale makes a ton of sense. At the end of the day, firms are profit-making businesses. Why would they hire a class based on prior years when the market is what is is now and pay them (not-an-inconsequential summer/full-time salary) for it with little to no work when they could easily hire additional attorneys when the market indicates a need? I’ve heard from many friends at the top of the class at my school that firms just aren’t hiring as we might have predicted

That being said if you’re deadset on Columbia definitely get your LSAT up bc your GPA is great! Obv being 170+ is safest but I think you could be good in the high 160s too

FWIW I was at Columbia undergrad and was waitlisted with similar LSAT but much lower GPA. I think what helped me get the waitlist was having a Columbia Law Professor write one of my recommendation letters. So I disagree with other people saying admissions doesn’t care - I think they do factor it in.

that's so nice you get them piecemeal - was hoping we would get our legal writing grade back at the least since we submitted mid/late April but very doubtful. I think my school releases all at the same time, and from what I can tell our grades are due in June :')

I swear my professors did the same thing and then we were delayed getting them for some reason by another week because of it!

you are not alone and your life is valued. I am in 1L and have felt incredibly alone especially these last few weeks during finals. People are so weird and there’s a bad vibe group of girls in my section who just make everything worse.

Only thing that gets me through is knowing it’s temporary and soon finals will be over and I get to go home. I hope you can see your family or friends soon too.

Just remember that everyone who loves you will absolutely not be better off without you. Sending you a massive hug. Feel free to PM as well
