Thanks for the info. I'm a 1L at Columbia. Where would I need to finish this year in order to be competitive in a BR applicant pool? I know a couple midpack 3Ls who got top 10 offers. I think family connections may have played a role. Would midpack suffice for BR?

I honestly don't know. I know the requirements for the Louisiana schools, but I would be guessing if I told you a number. With that said, I would say top 1/2 at a minimum. Are you from BR? That will help.

FIFY. Without any connections you probably need to be top 10-25% for big firms.

Assuming you're easy going and socialable, I would say you'd have no problem getting on with a big firm in BR or Nola. Louisiana firms would love being able to put up an associate bio of someone who went to Columbia.
