3.0 Urm at NU. Targeted the least selective firms in Chicago and have mass mailed 300+ firms. nothing but dings so far and only have a couple OCI interviews remaining. What do I do now? I'm starting to get nervous I'll miss the big law boat. I have debt and a family.

There’s nothing that we can tell you that will make you feel better, aside from anecdotal stories about 3Ls getting offers which is totally possible. Just keep on interviewing and reaching out to firms, especially post-OCI when firms will be looking to fill any gaps in their summer classes. I feel that candidates with lower grades likely struggle with pre-OCI because the firms would rather wait to see what students will come through OCI. Good luck with everything though!
