How'd the sub-median kids end up doing? Any thoughts?

Hahaha, I feel like this question is asked literally every 5 pages.

Sub-median here, 7 callbacks ranging from V-10 through the V-100.

wow, nice going. are you just a hair below median (and could easily pass for "median") or substantially and clearly below median?

I would say...between those two. Not "just a hair" but not awful. The median of sub-medians!

Good Work experience or personality? What did it, sir (or ma'dam)? Congratulations!!!!

I have several years of WE, although I'm not sure whether that trumps grades in the long run. I like to think of myself as personable, for sure. Honestly, I have no idea! I'm definitely thrilled by the response I received. And thank you.

I'm going to venture a guess that the alleged sub-median person with seven callbacks is either not telling the truth, has connections, or is a hot chick. I'm guessing it's the latter.

Sub-median (not much over 3.0--no B-'s, but definitely not stellar grades), a few years of work experience, 10 CBs.

I'm not going to out myself, but I can assure you that I am completely real. There are some factors in my background that may have helped me get callbacks as opposed to some other sub-med students, but I am between a 3.0 and a 3.2 and I have 10 CBs scheduled. Not bidding stupidly, doing thorough research, and playing the numbers also helped.

Someone posted earlier that they got a CB from HayBoo NY.

I've checked the whole thread and it's not in here... Are you sure?

Putting together a strong resume is not exactly a challenge, dude. And I'm not a URM if that's what you're implying. But I can't tell you what to believe. You are a) seriously seriously bitter and b) kind of silly. Do you really think there's absolutely nothing in the world that would get someone below median at CLS 10 CBs? I don't need you to believe it--I'm excited with the results and I'm enjoying doing the CBs. I think it just shows that there is some light at the end of the tunnel for some people with mediocre grades.

Original sub-med poster with the 7 CBs here. I don't have any of the aforementioned "factors" in my background that may have helped, so I'm truly convinced that a big smile and an enthusiastic attitude helps a lot.

10 CB sub-med poster again here. This helps too--I always go in with a smile, confidence, and lots of good stories to tell.

I can also add to the below median (in fact, way below) multiple callbacks (8). It seems to me that outside of LR, the employers see us all the same for the most part. So, the interview and resume seem to be making a bigger difference than a transcript. Or, it could be that the below median went in really trying to hustle because we knew the transcript wasn't going to be the thing that got us the callback.

anyone have an idea/sense what the unofficial grade cut-off for OMM is?
