Employer GPA Qualifications Profiles
To assist students in the on-campus interviewing program, the Office of Career Services (OCS) has compiled GPA information for employers that interview on campus.  The Employer GPA Qualifications Profiles for 2Ls , the Employers Grouped by Median GPA for 2Ls, and the Employer GPA Qualifications Profiles for 3Ls track the cumulative GPA of those second and third year Michigan Law School students who received an offer from a particular employer, dating back to interviews held in the Fall of 2000,  not just those students who accepted their offers.  The information dates back to interviews held in Fall 2000 through interviews held in Fall 2008, so that it includes offers received when the economy was strong as well as when the legal market was less robust. 
 
On behalf of your classmates, we ask that you please keep this information confidential.  The data is specific to MLS students, and is made available exclusively for the use of MLS students.  While it may be tempting to share it with others outside the MLS community, distributing it will only work to disadvantage you and your classmates.  If an employer is giving the edge to MLS students -- digging deeper into the class than it does at other law schools -- that will end if word gets out.  Moreover, employers may not submit the forms which enable us to compile this data if they know this information will be publicized.  Please help yourself and your colleagues by maintaining confidentiality!

This GPA information is not intended to propose limits or barriers to students interested in particular employers; nor is it a formal statement of employer intent or requirements. Rather, it is provided to give you some data on how grade-competitive a particular employer may be, and to help students strategize their bids. Particularly in an economy like the one we are currently in, you should use the GPA information as an indicator of relative selectivity among the firms, rather than an absolute statistic about grades. Keep in mind, too, that we are providing grade information about firms with offices across the country. The "home office" typically is more selective than other "branch" offices, with the exception of DC, which is often as selective if not more so than the home office. Again, OCS counselors are available to speak with you about these qualifications and how they relate to your bidding strategy. 
 
Unfortunately, there isn’t data for every employer that interviews on campus.  OCS bases the data on National Association for Law Placement surveys that the employers complete. If an employer did not return the surveys, results will not appear in the Employer Qualifications Profiles. If the employer has returned the survey, but there were fewer than three offers made to MLS students since Fall 2000, the name of the employer will appear but without GPA information. The data compiled for third year students is substantially less than the information for second year students because fewer third year students participate in on-campus interviewing.

In House Directory
The Office of Career Services has created an In House Internship Directory (Kerberos authentication required) for students to utilize in their job search.  Students who wish to pursue an internship listed in the Directory should submit resumes and cover letters directly to the employers listed, along with any questions regarding internship details.  Other than the information in the Directory, OCS does not maintain any additional information regarding the internship opportunities or contact information.
