Well you should have read the sticky'ed threads because they basically indicate what to do but you should be mass mailing. And not just after striking out at OCI but before/during/after OCI until you have a job.

Apply to firms that do not hold OCIs, and hopefully secure a summer job with one of them.

A few find jobs with non-OCI firms that still pay a good rate.

The majority work for free at a non-profit/gov. their 2L summer with a significant minority who work for low wages (think 1k/week) at a small law firm. After law school many get jobs at small firms. The lucky ones get government jobs. Many are unemployed.

Dropping out is often a really smart call.
