1L at a t50 school around median. I have nothing lined up for the summer yet. Have sent out a bunch of resumes/applied for jobs posted on school boards. Zero responses so far

What kind of jobs are you applying for? It isn't that hard to get a gig with a judge or local/state gov't agency 1L summer. Probably not getting a paid job at this point.

Most important thing you can do is raise your GPA, focus on that. Talk to career services and a professor about summer jobs in the market you want.

No reason to panic yet. A lot of places are just getting around to interviews.

no need to panic but also you should keep applying to things.

what's a bunch? 25 or 250? if you're not at a T14, I wouldn't rely just on your school's board. There's USAJobs, simplyhired, networking/massmail...

there's always a quasi-fallback of RA'ing for a prof.
