Another GWU kid struggling with his OCI list
Posted: Thu Jun 28, 2012 2:59 pm
The title says it all, 3.75 at GW. That puts me in the George Washington Scholar category, though I have no idea where in the top 15% I fall - some firms list a 10% cutoff, am I inside top 10%? No Moot Court. No Mock Trial. I haven't heard back from the journal competition yet, but I heard decisions should be made sometime soon?
As far as work experience goes, I have a year of solid work and have internship experience at a state attorneys office. Currently, I am interning for a state appellate level court.
If it helps, I have ties to DC: WE and family.
I'm open to any practice area, litigation or transactional. I need a job.
GW's OCI is pre-select with only 35 bids. As GW doesn't provide any information on GPA/Interviews/CBs and TLS has a relatively small sample size of Bid/Interview stats, I havent the slightest clue as to what firms are really reasonable. So this is my DC bid list...
1. Akin
2. Arent Fox
3. Arnold &Porter
4. Baker Botts
5. Cadwalader
6. Cleary
7. Covington
8. Crowell
9. Dickstein Shapiro
10. Foley Lardner
11. Gibson
12. Goodwin Proctor
13. hogan lovells
14. Hunton & Williams
15. Jones Day
16. K&L Gates
17. Kirkland
18. Latham
19. O’Melveny
20. Patton Boggs
21. Paul Hastings
22. Paul Weiss
23. Pillsbury
24. Ropes
25. Sidley
26. Skadden
27. Steptoe
28. Venable
29. Vinson & Elkin
30. White & Case
31. Wiley Rein
32. Williams Connolly
33. Wilkie
34. WSGR
35. WilmerHale
what should I nix, who am I missing?
also, should I be mass mailing now or wait?
