Hello!

I'm a rising 2L at weaker T-14. I'm trying to come up with my EIW bidding list but it's been a bit difficult.
I have a 3.3 gpa, I'm interested in finance (have work experience in the field and lots of former college extracurriculars around the topic) so I want to do transactional work. I'm from a small town in the middle of nowhere so I want to move to a big city, preferably New York. I want to stay there for the long haul. Alternatively, I have very strong ties to London, and, although I know its a pipe dream, I'm pretty confident that if I get in the room with a London office they'll take me (I think my 3.3 puts me about median for the London firms listed, too).

I favored ones with gpa's around 3.3 and large associate classes. I got a little nervous to put the London ones within the top 20. I'm open to any/all suggestions. Please just be honest.

I feel like schools usually keep that gpa stuff confidential? You might wanna take that out.
