I'm a 1L from the Mid-Atlantic region and I want to practice in DC after I graduate. I go to school at Wash U and am in the top 25% (if I were any closer to the top 20%, I'd be in it). Got a CALI in one class, but bombed another (not sure how much either of those things matter). My previous work experience isn't exciting--mostly summer jobs.
I'm mainly wondering if it would be plausible for me to get a 1L SA in DC.
Any helpful comments are welcome (including any other tips for things to look at in DC).
Thanks!

Re: Q: 1L Summer in DC
Are you an URM? If so, possibly but you're late in the game.
If you're asian or white? Highly unlikely unless you have marketable non-law related skills (i.e. an engineering degree).
