I sincerely hope my 2L grades won't end in no offer Forum

Haven't started studying for finals yet..No doubt in my mind I'm completely screwed. Does anyone have a SOLID anecdote about someone who got no offered based on grades (not some hearsay, rumor mill, etc.)?

You'll be okay. I know it's not consoling, but you'll be fine.

When you say TANKED how far did you drop? From all As to all Cs?

Went to HYS, so no letter grades. And maybe not that bad. More like all As to a smattering of Bs and Cs (and no worse probably only because the grade-equivalents of Ds and Fs aren't given out).

You won't get no offered because of grades.

The same thread gets posted at least 10 times a year. Here you go, OP. Feel free to browse as many pages as you'd like until your anxiety goes away. But I think you're fine; and your time's probably better spent just focusing on your exams.

I think you'd have to do beyond atrocious to get no-offered due to grades. Like, you'd have to not only be at the bottom of the curve but completely off the curve. So like, lowest grade typically given is a B- and you're getting C's. You'd have to almost try.

If a firm is gonna give out 100 % offers, they won't do it because of grades. If they're not, then I dunno, maybe grades could be a factor but it would probably be more pretextual

I agree that the OP won't get no offered for grades and this is yet another one of those threads that happens around finals time every semester but I disagree that it's a super rare occurrence. I think it can be pretty firm/market specific.

What impact do 2L and 3L grades have on lateraling or going in-house?

Anonymous User · Post by **Anonymous User** » Mon Dec 05, 2016 8:46 pm

Depends on the firm. Unless the change is dramatic, no one will care.

Firms do ask for your 2L 1st semster transcript though.

At a firm I worked for they asked the SAs to provide their full 2L transcript near the end of the summer. Have never heard of a no-offer due to grades.

I guess if you try to lateral grades could be a factor, but I can't imagine it'd carry much weight. At that point they'll care about your experience and what you can do professionally.

Grades alone won't do it, it merely gives your firm a pretext to no offer you if they were already going to (or on the fence). I don't recall if my firm even asked me for an updated transcript when I summered (I want to say that they did not, but I could be wrong there).
