Transcript update?
I was offered an early interview (pre-OCI) for a summer 2011 SA position at a big firm. I was offered said interview in March of spring semester, and scheduled for this August during April. (They interview once their summer program is over). Clearly, they didn't have my spring grades when they offered the interview, and have not asked for an updated transcript. Do I send them one/bring it to my interview, or ask them if they want it? (or do nothing?)
Full disclosure: Fall grades slighty below median (what they have), and spring grades are worse.

Re: Transcript update?
I call flame. How did you get a call-back offer before OCI? In this economy, with those grades? Is your daddy a senator or something?

Re: Transcript update?
I know a dude who managed this. Through connections... good for him, I say. Always better to get a job through connections than the old fashioned way which involves sweat and luck.
In any case: no need to provide a transcript unless they ask. Don't sweat it.

Re: Transcript update?
Yeah, I am not a flame, OP here. Actually a regular poster. Met a partner at a dinner, and received a call a few weeks later. I guess that is "through connections." Also, maybe I overstated big law. Large IP boutique with >300 attorneys, if that makes it less flame-y.

Don't worry about the transcript until they ask for it. Sounds to me like you are golden.

I wasn't knocking the OP, sorry if that came off as harsh. It is good for him. I need to start going to dinners where partners are.

It was just an event hosted by my school. Nothing extra special. Even though it is harder, my technique has been to talk to partners more than associates at such events. *shrug*
