I've never seen this in a letter. So that is what makes me think that.Anonymous User wrote:Yeah, I don't know what makes you think that this isn't standard boilerplate language in all of the firm's offers. My firm said something along the lines of this offer is conditioned on X, Y, Z, and "continuing to maintain my strong grades". I didn't even think twice about it and assumed it was just standard language used to scare students from completely mailing it in. Was I wrong to think this?Br3v wrote:Yeah and in fact a conditional offer like that is grounds to keep looking for other firms IMO. Though if your school is a 3.3 curve then it seems pretty safe.

OP here:
Thanks for all the responses. I should have clarified that this was an offer for an SA position for next summer, not a full time offer.

Same language is in my Kirkland offer letter with top 20% grades at a T-10, I'm sure it's boilerplate

Re: 2lol or not so much
not v10, but Paul Hastings had the same clause in their letter, though it looked and felt like non-specific boilerplate. didn't pick em anyway, so no big deal
