Yeah, I'm an entering 1L at a Tier2 school (actually it's also my alma mater, which I know some of you will criticize), but nonetheless, do these strategies work for people like me? People with a decent UG GPA, one year commercial real estate experience, real estate license, a kid, and a 'winning personality'?!?!?
I am terrified that I will end up without a gig for the summer, and in turn, my chances of getting a nice paying job ($100,000+) will diminish significantly thereafter.
Is it even worth thinking I could land a job like that? Obviously, if I end up in the Top 5% things may be easier, but I am certainly not placing all of my eggs in that basket!!!
I am going to school in the location I want to practice (Atlanta, GA) and have some firms in mind. I also looked on NALP and the websites for the firms and there are a number of partners from my school at many of them. I'm not opposed to govt positions and have really considered public interest for a career. What can I do to up my chances to land a nice job my 1L summer?
And, out of curiosity, are white women considered "minorities"?

Just a thought...
