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

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).kellyfrost wrote:When you say TANKED how far did you drop?

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.

Re: I sincerely hope my 2L grades won't end in no offer
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.jbagelboy wrote:You won't get no offered because of grades.

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

Re: I sincerely hope my 2L grades won't end in no offer
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?

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.Anonymous User wrote:Depends on the firm. Unless the change is dramatic, no one will care.

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.

Re: I sincerely hope my 2L grades won't end in no offer
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).
