Dropping Class Post-OCI

Post by Anonymous User » Fri Mar 26, 2021 1:28 pm

I'm a 2L right now with a biglaw summer SA lined up at a "100% offer" firm (though nothing is ever certain, right?). For medical reasons, I'm considering dropping one of my classes this semester. It wouldn't be noted on my transcript, but I would have only done the minimum number of credits this year. Will the firm look at this strangely/ put my offer at risk ? Major thanks.

Lol no. There's a chance your firm never even sees your transcript again anyways, mine never did.

Only issue would be like if you were hired for a tax group and you got hired based on taking tax classes and then your dropped a seminal tax course and never took it again.

tbh i would no offer you just for thinking of doing that.

how sneaky. get an offer based on ambitious credit load, then reduce the load after offer is accepted. don't just think about what this means for your offer. think about how this reflects on your character as an attorney. and thank your lucky stars that you used the anon feature, because otherwise i'd track you down and report you straight to the local committee on character and fitness.

dis-gus-STING, as in it stings and hurts how dishonest you are.

Take care of your health. No one will care about or likely even notice the dropped class.
