Hey there.
Brief description of my situation: median at T6, no W/E, below average interview skills (based on the pathetic amount of cbs I've got). I basically struck out from OCI (waiting to hear back from the last two firms that I did cb with but who am I kidding) and only started mass-mailing several days ago. I had some medical issue at the beginning of this month and missed the best time to mass-mail so I am not expecting any good news. I'm doing okay - not questioning my life or thinking about dropping-out, but I will definitely appreciate some suggestions on what else I can do, if any, to get myself an SA offer next summer if not all hirings are completed. Thanks a lot.

Keep mass-mailing man, recruiting season isn't done. Honestly, put classes on the back burner and just keep mass mailing. Getting a job is more important. Go through NALP and make sure you apply to firms in their secondary markets as well. And don't worry about starting so late, hope is not lost

Depending on debt situation and your alternatives, dropping out might not be a bad idea.

Lol you're crazy.
OP - try milwaukee if you have any remote ties there. They tend to recruit late IME.

It's not too late. I got my lone offer to a V60 in November after applying to a posting on my school's job board. I was able to eventually lateral to a V20, where I currently work and actually enjoy my job.

Some firms are still hiring, so don't give up hope. I've accepted an offer already, but I've gotten 2 emails in the past 2 weeks from firms I mass-mailed back in July asking if I wanted to interview. (Venable and Paul Hastings)

work with career services to practice & improve interview skills, do what you can to get a substantive 2L job (mass mail, symplicity, broaden your search to include government stuff, etc.), and take a shot at 3L OCI (just anecdotal, but it worked out for a handful of friends at T6 median)
keep your head up, it'll work out
