I graduated from USC in the top 15% (missed top 10% by .02), was law review lower-level editorial staff, and worked last summer at a plaintiff's firm. I applied for clerkships but got nothing. I've read the threads here, which suggest mass mailing, and that's what I'm doing now. Any other tips/ideas?

OP - and I struck out at OCI, obviously, hence the plaintiff's firm.

Write top 11% or present the ranking as X/200 or whatever is the total amount of students b/c it might look better?

i don't think we're allowed to guess the %. just do

GPA: 3.69 (Top 10% = 3.71)
