Summer classes for rising 2L?

Hi guys:
At a T30 here. After my 1 sem, i am probably above median but not by much.
Is it advisable that I take summer classes in easy subjects to boost my GPA before the OCI? For the summer, will be working as RA for a prof. in school, so time commitments are really not that binding.

If you can do it concurrently with working it's not the worst idea I've heard though you should be certain that grades will be in by the time that employers get them, whenever that may be. Probably check with your career services people if they have any rules that prohibit you from advertising a GPA or rank that reflects work outside of your first two semesters.

1) Yes if you can. But how do you know what an easy class is
2) Will you get grades back by OCI?

Even if it doesn't boost your GPA or return grades before OCI, it can also help set you up for 3LOL.

OP here, spoke to CPC they said OCI bidding is mostly done before the results come out. But still wouldn't it help for the CB interviews?
