However, given my grades and some other resume-boosters that I can boast, I'm tempted to apply for SAs at top firms. Then again, there's no way for me to know if top firms will even look at me, because OCS hasn't given us any info about which firms will recruit people from my school, and which generally won't.
Before I waste time applying to a top firm, what's the best way of finding out if that firm will even consider applicants from my school? I've thought about calling up recruiters and asking them flat-out, but won't they just give me an answer like "We consider applicants from all schools!
" or "Send over your application, and we'll take a look! " ?TL;DR -- I'm near the top of my class at a non-T14, but I'm scared of wasting my time applying to top firms that don't even consider non-T14s.
