DC Market, Kinda Lib Forum

Anon because I don’t want to dox myself but I got an offer at one of these firms (didn’t accept because I wanted to go to my home market) just by being top 1/3 at GW with no clerkship or special connections to the firm. I am a white man, k-jd without a particularly impressive resume. I am not trying to brag but it’s not that hard if you are a good culture fit in your interviews.

Op anon, but to add another datapoint, I know someone with worse stats than me at GW who got a different one of these firms (think Latham/Kirkland tier). This was a really bizarre year because of covid, and there were plenty of pre-oci offers to be had, particularly to people with lower stats who networked like crazy. Anecdotally, maybe more than OCI offers in my class. So I actually suggest you network your ass off in case that trend continues (though returning to a normal OCI schedule makes that seem somewhat unlikely). You are at a better school than GW so I wouldn’t think it should be that miserably hard to get an offer, even if it may not be your first choice.

As OP anon, would like to clarify this probably is *quoted* anon haha

Correct, sorry, for my ineptitude. Guess this is why I’m not t-14
