Great video counselor, Thank you

[@horusOsiris22]

Hey, thanks for the video! I have some questions: 1. Did you have an idea of a practice area of law you wanted to go into when you first started at UT, and if so, has it changed since then? 2. What is something you really appreciate about and something you think could be substantially improved at UTexas Law?

Hi. In your experience, what is the cutoff for the percentiles at Austin. For people who don't make it past a good cutoff, what options do they generally have when it comes to firm options. Do they have a good shot at mid size firms?

[@AmarisIsabelDiaz]

Big law jobs as a 1L are pretty competitive for sure, but they become more accessible once you're a 2L and 3L. For the 1Ls, the big law cut-off is about 3.63 (top 25% of the class). But, I think most people who want to go to a firm for 2L summer get somewhere whether that's big law or a small to mid-sized firm.
