what school do you go to? (I ask because, at most schools, it's really not that easy to get that kind of job when you're in the bottom half of your class)

He will make 150k out of school coming out of Penn.

I think he will need to kiss a little bit of ass though.


Here is mine (I graduated in '06):

Beat: 2.9 GPA
Brag: Dual degree in engineering (electrical and computer) and a minor in math
Brag: Still got a job at a Fortune 10 company
Variance: Hopefully I get into UCLA for my MBA in a couple years

Not really. Im pretty close to the median, and the median at Penn Law can get pretty much any job in the country, save the top 5-10 firms. There are hundreds that start at 150k+

Very true. I was thinking along the lines of the top 5-10 firms.

How much debt you graduating with?

What year you graduate?

No I just graduated last year from Wash. U. in St. Louis.

I want to go to UCLA to get my MBA starting in the Fall of 2010.

Right now I have 30k in loans from undergrad. I am preparing to tack on another ~110k for UCLA when I start. That brings a tear to my eye. Oh well...hopefully it will be paid off in a few years after graduation.
