They didn't rescind an offer. And even if you meant no offer, that's just not true. Some firms have strict grade cut offs. These firms don't keep it a secret though and will openly tell you that's the casemvp99 wrote:Any firm that rescinds an offer over a C was going to rescind an offer to someome for any reason anywayAnonymous User wrote:Close friend at my V50 firm got a C and lost offer

I don't know of anyone who has lost an offer based on a 3L grade in their final semester. Although I have heard, second hand of course, that it is obviously a firm by firm decision, but that the course and type of course you receive the low grade is factored in. Also, just as another poster mentioned, if a firm was really looking to get rid of your or someone they could easily use the grade as a reason to get rid of you. On the other hand, if they really wanted you as part of the firm they wouldn't care about a 3L grade.
For example, it was a student at a TTT who pulled a C- in Evidence in their last semester and the offer got pulled. I have heard that elective courses and paper courses such as "Women's Rights and Treaties in the Middle East" wouldn't carry as much weight.

I got a C+ the semester right after my SA and was freaking out.
My firm never looked at my transcript after my SA, never asked to see it or my diploma after graduation, and I don't think they even checked to see if I actually passed the bar.

Do really fantastic work this summer and unless your firm has a strict grade cutoff, you're probably fine.Anonymous User wrote:I just found out I got a C in an elective and I start my SA tomorrow. I'm so fucked.

Summer firm says a C will raise eyebrows and probably they'll ask you about it, but doesn't necessarily mean it is a no offer. I think as long as its a singular event, it will still be okay.

v10, grades already below firm "cutoff", all grades below school's median last semester (and not much better in the fall). Never worried about it.

Ugh they just announced 180 at my firm, which stands to lose almost 10% in partner profits and was on Capital's "going to 180 would cause serious problems" list.Anonymous User wrote:Just got a C+. Am I done for?

Do firms get your transcript directly from the school after graduation or do you physically send them a copy?Danger Zone wrote:B- in my last semester. Firm asked for transcript. Didn't rescind my offer.
