What are your suggestions for a rising 2L at a T2, top 10% of class, and grade on Law review, in reference to transferring? Should I Stick it out and try my luck at OCI, or make a attempt to transfer into a T20- T30? How would firms, such as your own, view this?

Given the above, I figure the transcript has to figure in. From the transcript if you saw, A-, A-, B+, B+, B+, B+, B+, B, B. . . how do you figure that out in ref to score and placement consideration for a T-14 candidate?

Transfer student going to CCN from University of London (Kings College, London School of Economics, University College London) as part of a double degree program (LLB and JD). Since I'll be joining the 2L class and heading straight into OCI, I won't have any grades from the US law school. The program is very selective and only 2 students from my uni are selected every year. What should I expect from OCI? How will V10 firms gauge my grades given that we don't rank students in UK law schools? Anything else I should be aware of?

Appreciate any advice, thanks.

I don't mean to imply it's great, I am just saying it isn't necessarily bad. When you are sitting in the reception area waiting for the recruiter while reading the folder they gave you, what do they put on the flyers/brochures/bios? Vault, Chambers, Law360 quotes, etc... Why is it improper to mention stuff they want you to notice? These rankings mean a lot to firms because potential clients probably look them up too.

JD/MBA? Any help or waste of time/money?

How much of a boost does collegiate athletics give? If you competed at the Division I level on teams that won multiple NCAA championships in non-revenue sports/ was a captain of those teams?

Uh. I don't know exactly what you're asking. But that looks like about a B+ student, which might or might not meet our criteria depending on which school you're at.

Thanks. Let me narrow it down, school is #7.

0L here.

If looking for corporate job, is there any scenario in which studying abroad makes sense?

how do OCI grade cutoffs affect the probability of a callback? in other words, consider a firm sets a top 25% grade cutoff for interviews. obviously, all things equal, a top 10% student will have a better shot than a top 20% student. however, things are rarely absolutely equal. i'm curious as to what can make that top 20% student a better candidate than the top 10% student even though the grade cutoffs would favor the latter student?

can simply a better interview make up that difference? work experience?

thanks.

How do you get clients?

Again I'm a 0l so this knowledge is second hand.

But if you were interested in acquisitions or maybe trade policy lobbying? Maybe in emerging markets? I studied abroad in undergrad and am not interested in doing it again unless it can boost my prospects in a meaningful way. Were there times when a candidate's ls work abroad significantly impacted your decision?

I am in the median range and attend a T-14. Since day 1 I have been told that if I do not lock in an offer as a 1L (rising 2L), my chances of securing employment as a 2L (at OCI) is difficult at best. How do you see it? Historically, in ref to the offers you have extended, what is your offer ratio between the two?

(& 3L if that is worth noting).

I don't really understand this question. Do you mean getting an offer before OCI? I don't think we even give offers before OCI so no idea how that would happen. If you don't get one at OCI 3L year will be tough?

What I mean is: having just finished my 1L, if I do not secure an offer during the upcoming OCI, I have been led to believe that securing an offer next year will be [very] difficult. Do you share this sentiment? Thanks.

1L. T 14, slightly below, or slightly above median.

I read in various threads to NOT wait for OCI before applying. Start now. Get the jump. Okay, will do.

I was wondering how I should start, though? Do I start emailing the recruiters using the email I find on the firm's website? What should I email? Do I need all the fixings (i.e., cover letter, resume, transcript, writing sample, references)? Or can I just send my resume alone? Thanks.
