DoJ requires all AAGs to have a minimum of 1 year work experience. Is it worth it to apply at all if we are graduating in May?

You will not get hired as an AUSA if you haven't been practicing law or doing a federal clerkship for at least a year. AUSA jobs are extremely competitive.

I guess it can't hurt to apply, but you have pretty much no chance.
