What are my chances?
Hey, ya'll. This is specifically intended for those that have reviewed clerkship applications before. I've been submitting applications on OSCAR since early July, and I want to know where I stand. T25 with impressive past clerkship placement, 3.45, Law Review and secondary journal, moot court, lots of other extracurriculars (pro bono, student orgs, RA, legal writing fellow), 2 strong LOR. I've applied to pretty much everything unless I was obviously disqualified by the posting. Had 2 mag interviews. I just started applying to bankruptcy, but I am wondering if I have a chance for a mag or district position. Thought? Thanks!

Submit paper applications to judges that do not use OSCAR. With a similar background, I went from 0 bites on tons of OSCAR apps over a year+ to an interview and offer within 3 weeks of sending paper apps. Less applicants, and someone actually has to read your app before they toss it.
