[quote=Anonymous]I was middle of the class at a T14 school when the economy was taking a dip (right after dotcom crash) but not nearly as bad as it is today. I had connections and did not get an offer. Honestly, connections are not going to override mediocre grades/school. Maybe if you have major connections and are top twenty instead of top ten percent at a top ten school, that will help. But you simply are not going to get a BigLaw offer right now. Spend Xmas breaks applying to smaller firms AND smaller markets. Are you from some random Midwestern city? Work your connections there. Yeah, maybe you don't want to move to Milwaukee but maybe you can lateral out in a few years. I say this from having been in a similar position. Good luck.[/quote]
