Top Law Schools

By mass mailing the firms that come to OCI, they will see my grades prior to OCI.

I consider it an advantage that during OCI interviewers won't see my grades until the interview is finished. But by mass mailing, I will be giving away my GPA, so I will lose this advantage.

In that case, should I only focus on firms that won't come to our school OCI? Or should I mass mail all the firms regardless?

BG about me: T13, around median grades.

Thanks!

I've been doing something like this and have had a few interviews and callbacks. I have had success reaching out to alumni (LS and UG) and having them pass along my resume after a phone or in-person conversation, which has then led to another meeting/interview. They do ask for transcripts after that though, but I've been able to hold off until I have an initial meeting.

It seems to be fine, and if nothing else, I'll know my grades don't make the cut when OCI comes around, so I can save the bid for another firm. I figure if we get to the "you seem cool, lets see your grades", you've functionally achieved the same result the OCI bidding process provides.

so don't do it. nobody is making you mm.
