<p>Exactly-regional considerations are very important.<br>
We’re in California, so my husband’s law firm only interviews on campus at the top three California law schools, and two or three schools back East, depending on the economy and whether the summer associate class is full after the first few sets of callbacks. His firm will look at resumes from law students from other law schools, but those students must be in the top 10% of their law school class to be considered for an interview.
Students with specialized talents (i.e. science degree undergrad, plan to practice intellectual property law) will fare better than average.</p>
