Congrats! I'm a fellow UT student (rising 2L) interested in Texas SSC clerkships. Did your grades improve after 1L or did you maintain roughly the same GPA throughout?Anonymous User wrote:After another Texas SSC interview, I landed it. Looking forward to next year and staying in Austin for at least another year (hopefully this will help me stay beyond that).Anonymous User wrote:New Anon here:
Applying Tx SSC (plus federal district / magistrates in Austin)
UT 3.85 (approx between 5-10% I think)
Two interviews so far: US District (didn't get it) + SSC (still waiting; all of the other interviewees were classmates)
In response to another question ITT, no journal/moot court for me. It's something I'm sure has hurt me with some firms that want to check all their boxes to give out interviews, but judges get to choose whomever they want.
GL everyone.

You're completely right. I'm keeping my fingers crossed, but majorly adjusting my expectations.A. Nony Mouse wrote:Clerking is just tough to predict. A lot of SSC justices (and even state COA) tend to hire the top students from the local school and local T14 grads. Even for a state like Idaho (that is, small population), there's going to be a lot of competition. That's not saying you're not qualified or won't get something, it's just a tough process.

Roughly speaking, improved. But consistent with my 1L spring (which was a tad higher than 1L fall).Anonymous User wrote: Congrats! I'm a fellow UT student (rising 2L) interested in Texas SSC clerkships. Did your grades improve after 1L or did you maintain roughly the same GPA throughout?
