How bad do I have to fuck up 2L to not get no-offered at a V10?

Post by Anonymous User » Sat Oct 31, 2015 12:50 pm

I'm at CCN and accepted an offer from a V10 with a 100% offer rate for next summer. I've been quite lazy this fall and completely fucked up a paper this week, which got me thinking--how bad do one's 2L grades have to be to get no-offered? I plan to get my shit together going forward but was just curious.

It really doesn't matter. Just don't fail, like the above poster said. A B in that class won't mean anything, assuming you really fucked up the paper.

I worked at a grade conscious v10 (to the extent that exists) and I went from top 10% 1L to median/ below median at CCN 2L. Didn't matter. They received my transcripts, too.

V14 is double V7, could be rough.

If your V10 is anything but STB, it probably doesn't even matter if you get no-offered. I've heard through some very reliable sources that nobody outside the V5+STB will be able to match 190K. You're better off getting no-offered and doing 3L OCI while aiming higher, tbh.

Does this advice generally apply to V5s in satellite cities? Will a "W" raise eyebrows? I, too, have been phoning it in this year.

No under these circumstances the answer varies greatly
