You're severely overstating this and I just finished doing everything you did. Please don't let top law schools.com lie to you. It's not "most" as in any sort of guarantee. It's really about bidding well, and getting an offer. A lot of people took the only offer they received and most law firms don't care about diversity whatsoever. The few that do, you can tell from their sites and from visiting. Associates of color are judged the most harshly and tend to be the first ones cut. A study recently showed that your assignments are graded 50% worse if the partner is aware that you are black. Make no mistake, there is no "guarantee." Furthermore, your entire class is coming in with the same scores as you. One does not just assume they will be in the top half of the class. Everyone in your class has been the smartest person in the room their entire life. Do not take anything for granted. Law school at that level will make you smarter though, the whole reason I give 98% of the arguments on here even if I agree with them the

is because my mind can no longer accept logical short cuts outside of shooting the shyt with friends. Literally makes my head hurt.
