T50-60, LR, Moot Court, Top 3%: Interview Chance

Post by Anonymous User » Wed Jun 04, 2014 12:38 pm

Stats in title, no real other worthwhile resume stuff than 2/9/DC circuit externship.

It doesn't take much time, but if I blanket the more selective lit-heavy firms with apps for 2L SA positions, what would be the chances of getting an interview with them? (Think W&C, MTO, Boies, Quinn Emanuel, etc.) Can I even get in the door?

Didn't see really any other information on this, because most people that have a chance there are T14 people.

Probably very low, but not worth your time. I just did a cursory look at Munger, and it seems to hire people who placed Suma in their class from schools your rank, but are in their local market (e.g., Loyala).

With those grades, you could either 1) transfer to HHHC and go through their OCI or 2) try for an AIII clerkship then apply. Have you considered these options?
I am local to at least one of those places. Obviously trying not to out myself so leaving it at that. But I have considered transferring, but not worth the loans in my book after all the consideration (full ride at current school and like the opportunity to not be a slave to loans after doing well this first year) and I want to do AIII clerkship regardless, I was just hoping there'd be a chance at getting one of those for a 2L SA position.

Hoping for some random anecdote of someone getting really lucky. But I have seen that Munger has some Summas from relatively similar schools as mine.
