^^while that is certainly a strategy, its an extremely risky strategy. The vast majority of L1’s are gunning for top of class, and few are able to pull it off. It takes some students a year or so to ‘get’ the critical thinking skills required to do well, and by then L1 grades are done.

Entering a LS with the assumption of being a top student is not a good idea, IMO. At best, one should assume midpoint. And at that point, one should look and see how the class as a whole does:

GW has a employment score of ~65%. In other words, a third of its graduating class does NOT get a full time legal job requiring a JD.

Of course, having no debt and being unemployed is better than having debt and being unemployed, but still, after 3 years, one hopes for a FT legal job…
