I am in my fisrt year in law school and thinking about applying to Bingham McCutchen as a summer associate?

Question

What is the interview process like I am at Harvard Law. Do you need top grades to get in and also is law review necessary.

What are they looking to hear in the interview and see.

Answer 1

You'll get much better results talking to your career services office and fellow students than on here. Also, try seeing if an actual associate on a board like greedyassociates.com will help you out.

A firm like Bingham McCutchen will want top grades. However, kids from schools like Harvard get a little more leeway than at other schools.

After reading all your "claims" in your other questions, now I know you aren't in Harvard Law. I question whether you've even graduated college.

Answer 2

pretty impressive considering your other answers say you're dyslexic with a learning disability and adhd... but that's not the real reason i don't believe you're at harvard law school. if you were, you'd know about the process. if you're thinking of applying for your *first* summer, you won't even have the opportunity to be on law review yet. you only even apply after your first year. besides that, law firm job decisions are already made for first year summers. and you would need great grades, yes. if you're thinking of your *second* summer, you won't even have to apply because there will be on-campus interviewing and bingham will be there to recruit you. you probably wouldn't need top grades coming from harvard to work at bingham your second summer, nor law review. still need decent grades though.

i don't mean to come across as rude, but the process for law students at Harvard is pretty standard, so if you were there, you'd know it. :-) besides that, why would you set your sights on only one big firm? they're all basically the same and unless you're bottom of the class, anyone at harvard would have a lot more opportunities than just bingham.

Answer 3

wow!! what was your GPA to get in Harvard? SAT scores? clubs?
