Can anyone answer this for me? I was with a friend today and we were discussing law school. He claims that getting into law school is one thing but graduating is a whole other thing because most law schools will filter through 50% of the students. In other words, they want to keep their ratings high and want their graduates to get the best jobs possible so they get rid of those who don't do well or are doing worse then the others. I asked him to elaborate. He said this... "let's say there are 100 students. 50 of the students have "A"s the rest "B"s. The 50 students with the "B"s get kicked out because they can only let the ones with the "A"s graduate? I know that in grad school, one has to maintain a "B" or better average but this is kind of strange if it's the truth. Also, he said that should you go to an average school, there are absolutely NO jobs when you graduate because there are more students who graduate from good schools than there are jobs so all the students who graduated from the Harvards and Princetons get those jobs first. Can someone tell me if they've had any experience with either of these 2 situations? Thank you!
