But a little overblown. I agree that they way they introduced the new grading system was unfair. Actually the administration sucks in many respects. However, it kind of reminds of the discussion about how USF is always teetering on the edge of the 2nd and 3rd tiers.

By choosing to go to USF, you have implicitly accepted the reality that you will have to hustle for a job using your connections or whatever else you bring to the table. (in my case a lengthy career in tech).

This makes the career path for USF law grads a little more circuitous. If you want to work at MoFo or Skadden or whereever, you may have to work at some lesser-known and smaller firms first. But, that's the reality for most people. A friend went to University of Iowa law school, supposedly a top 20 school. She had a hard time finding a job in the Bay Area because no one knew squat about the University of Iowa. Employers are similarly clueless about grades and class rankings. Do you think man people know what the McAuliffe honors society is?

In certain respects however, learning how to hustle is a good thing. In my pre-law school career I was most happy working at places where I got the job because a friend already worked there.
