Firm asking for undergraduate transcript?

Post by Anonymous User » Fri Jul 31, 2015 1:20 am

I MM'd mid size firm (~100 attorneys) and they are asking for an unofficial undergraduate transcript, which I find odd. Has anyone experienced this? Also, I had pretty bad undergrad grades, went T2, and am transferring to T14. Any advice on how to approach emailing an UG transcript w/ poor grades?

Get used to it, a lot of firms will ask for these. I've never even spoken about them or had them even look at them. When I asked my current firm why they needed them: "for your file, we don't look at them."

That's just my firm... but I wouldn't worry.
