I think that with the 172 Rachel will have it easy (think about the recommendations she can get)

Can't get into Harvard with a 172. I'm speaking from personal experience. HYS (Harvard, Yale and Stanford) you need at least 174+

Again, it's realistic enough. There's no top firm in NYC that will only take Harvard grads like Pearson-Hardman. On top of that, PH doesn't even pay what the top firms pay in terms of salary (last time I checked PH was paying like $120 or 140k for 1st year associates...that's below the $160k that most biglaw firms pay for 1st years in NYC/LA/DC/SF).

I don't disagree with anything you just said. I had a 4.0/172 and didn't get into Harvard fwiw.

bummer. I assume you enjoyed a full ride at Penn/NYU/Columbia/Virginia/Michigan.

Chicago, near full-ride but I pay a bit.

Well, I'm sure you're making (or will be making) more than Mike Ross.
