<p>No. Indeed, it is worse. Less than half the 2Ls at Georgetown, Cornell, Northwestern, and Michigan secured $160K jobs this year at OCI (on-campus interviewing). Even at Boalt and UChicago–both unquestionably top 10 schools–OCI was a bloodbath compared to previous years. </p>
<p>Because of the bimodal distribution of salaries in law, not getting a $160K job means you’re stuck making a little over $50K. And that is assuming you’re lucky enough to find a job (hardly a guarantee). Keep in mind too that the distribution posted in this thread is from 2007–before the recession.</p>

<p>Indeed, see this post describing employment prospects at Emory–a top 25 school.
