Summer Transcripts

Post by Anonymous User » Tue Apr 22, 2014 5:24 pm

Do firms generally ask to see your updated transcripts (containing 2L grades) before extending offers at the end of the summer? I'm pretty sure I'm about to tank a class this semester, and I'm not sure I will be able to pass-fail the bad mark from my transcript before my SA is finished.

Summering at a V50 in NY. Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Here why it's dumb. It's double layer law student neurosis.

Worried you'll tank a class when you haven't taken a final yet, lol.

Worried that anyone would care, lol.

Both are probably false.

Many firms will ask for your transcript, but it tends to be more of a formality. Most firms probably aren't going to no offer you because of grades (though they may use grades as an excuse for a no offer that is actually made for other reasons).
