Im scared to death of this C. Is it going to prevent me from finding any sunmer work? I just dont understand how I get an A on property and a C in civ pro

ITE, yes, the horrors.Oh, no. Top 25%. The horrors.
Give me a break. I got Big Law below-median. I'd kill for 25%.MinEMorris wrote:I had a similar experience with a total left field B- my first semester and was still able to finish near the top of my class for what it's worth.

In any case, you're only going to fuck yourself more if you convince yourself you're fucked. If you let it affect your work ethic or let yourself go crazy worrying about it, it's only going to make it harder to perform next semester. As hard as it is, even if the grade stands, you can't let it get to your head.
Also, slightly in your advantage is the fact that a random C will be easier for an employer to write off as a crazy professor or something equally arbitrary. I would much rather hire a consistent A student with one freak C than a consistent B+ student.

This is getting off topic. This is good for you, so way to derail this thread to stroke your peen, but you do not know where the OP goes to school and what that school's cutoffs are for OCI.sparty99 wrote:Give me a break.

I was thinking B- or B but not below median. If I get an A in torts im looking at a 3.4 which is about top 25% or so. I could certainly recover though with a great 2nd semester

Doesn't matter.....Top 25% is top 25%. If you can't get interviews with Top 25%, then no one should go to law school.Gorki wrote:This is getting off topic.

Lol? Because the two situations are eminently analogous.typ3 wrote:Remember that time you got a C in your 7th grade middle school biology desert biome report? You're toast.

In all seriousness, chill out. If you can't find something through your school, cold call people from your local bar registry and ask to help around their office for minimum wage or free. It's hard to turn down cheap and willing labor.
Not is is not. Top 25% at CCN =/= Top 25% at random t30 =/= Top 25% at Cooley (all networking and personal connections aside, because honestly if you have those your GPA is no longer that important anyway), either in terms of prestige, or quantity (Cooley has over 1k, closer to 2k students).sparty99 wrote:

Considering you have a C in civ/pro and an A in property, try looking for an internship related to property (where they probably don't care about civ/pro). your GPA/rank will be important, but you should be able to BS having a strong interest in the field and really want to learn more about it.noleknight16 wrote:Got an A in property, A- in legal writing, still waiting on my grade in Torts and a C in civil procedure.

This just seems a little stupid. I will say this: I hope you don't want to be a litigator. Don't freak out until you get your grade from torts. Plus, you still have next semester to fix this shenanigan and keep moving forward. Everyone hates civ pro. Correction, I hate civ pro.dingbat wrote:Considering you have a C in civ/pro and an A in property, try looking for an internship related to property (where they probably don't care about civ/pro). your GPA/rank will be important, but you should be able to BS having a strong interest in the field and really want to learn more about it.noleknight16 wrote:Got an A in property, A- in legal writing, still waiting on my grade in Torts and a C in civil procedure.

This. You killed 2 of your 3 classes, and it could be 3/4. Don't let one C destroy your semester!kalvano wrote:Not really. A bunch of C's is a problem. One in a sea of A's is an abberration.kingofdara wrote:I agree it depends which school you go to. If you go to a T2 a C is a huge problem.
