From a much shittier school in a much shittier economy, several people got into biglaw without summering. If you really want it, there's enough advice in here to make it happen, but I'd use this time outside the comfort zone of trying to put the work in for an actual worthwhile career.

I'm not OP (and not a transfer) but I totally struck out at OCI, got several CBs through mass mailing, and then my only offer came from one of those mass mail CBs. Mass mailing saves lives.

It's probably not too late to try, and you should definitely hit it hard in August 2016.
You mass mailed in July, right after your grades came out? Wouldn't most firms tell you "bid on us at OCI?"
