If you got 1L SA offers from two BigLaws, you said sorry to one of them and they said hoping to have you for 2L SA.
My questions were:
1. Do big law firms normally have same program for 1L and 2L SAs, so that they do NOT really want/need someone for two summers for a full time associate offer?
2. Do you try hard to stay in same firm for both 1L and 2L or better with different firms?
Thanks

Try to split your second summer--although this may (speaking from experience) hurt you at OCI.

Can you ask the first firm to do 4 weeks at the end of the summer? My firm typically allows this for 1L students.

Could you elaborate on why this would hurt you for OCI?

Firms want you 100% committed to them. Splitting means your not
