Don't just look at starting salaries, the big money is in partnership and hopefully you will be a partner for a good part of your career. You should easily make 200k even at a small firm or as a solo. Also, don't just look at starting salaries when selecting a firm, you want to get a feel for average profit per partner. It could easily be worth it to get a lower split the first several years if you end up with a higher split while a partner.

Hey just when someone mentioned that if u get into top 14 then u don't need much of a grade and if u get into top 15-30 then ur grade will be a little more of a concern.
"not much of a grade " meaning ? 2.5? 3.5?

Humbling to say the least...3 for 31 and not one Chicago firm. I have no idea what is normal, but that's just disappointing.

I think 3 is pretty good. The problem with the Chicago market is that there are not enough IP firms. There are prolly like 5 major ones (Banner, McAndrews, Marshall Gerstein Borun, Bell Boyd Lloyd, and Welsh and Katz). The other ones are smaller and hire much less. If you are able to land a summer internship at a firm outside of Chicago, then work there a couple of years then lateral into one of these 5 major ones in Chicago. Or, you just might love the part of the country you are working in, and won't want to lateral anyways. For example, D.C. can be a really fun area to live.
Does anyone know the chances of being picked for an interview after being put on the wait list?
