When to apply to SA positions?
Posted: Tue Oct 22, 2019 8:39 pm
Some quick background info;
1L interested in patent law. Planning to apply to SA positions in the city where I attend school. I am well aware a 1L SA position is hard to get but planned on applying to some to give it a shot.
My question is when to apply to these positions. This year is the first year where the Dec. 1st deadline is officially no longer. I have a list of firms currently, and I would say about 75% of them still have the Dec. 1 date for when they begin accepting applications. I planned on sending those out that day.
But for the other quarter, they are accepting applicants now. I was wondering if anyone has any advice on when to apply to these. Should I focus on finishing them up and sending them out ASAP (maybe the first week of Nov) or should I take my time and just apply the end of Nov/beginning of Dec?
Any advice is appreciated.
