@melvin123: Your post above is appropriately divided into two paragraphs. These paragraphs are not as closely related as I think that you intended them to be.
The first sentence of the first paragraph reflects the perceived quality of the law school & its students.
The second paragraph is part of a culling process that occurs within law firms recruiting at any particular law school. Otherwise, all students in the top 25%, for example, at Columbia Law School would be granted interviews at a particular law firm, but that does not happen in reality. Even some students in the top 5% may not be granted an interview while several much lower ranked law students may.
But, regardless of the resumes of Columbia Law School students, Columbia Law grads will enjoy outstanding placement rates at/by graduation & within 10 months after graduation due to the perceived superior product produced by CLS based on their selectivity which focuses on applicants LSAT scores & GPAs.
