That actually happens?

I should have specialized that I meant the formal recruit process. Small shops (solos etc) are definitely possible, yes. But honestly, if I was in OPs position I'd rather spend my summer at a clinic than with a small shop. I just think it looks better on a resume. Especially if you can land a prestigious clinic gig.

It'd certainly be less trickier for the firm to make up their mind about you lol. Jkz.

I find cocktail receptions slightly tricky. I'd prefer to spend the entire evening slowly sipping one drink in order to stay completely sober but I'm worried that would look weird.

It means accepting that a 2L job probably isn't happening with those grades and so embarking on a strategy to build one's resume with extra curriculars and attainable summer jobs like RAships.

Well if that's true that doesn't really surprise me. These were firms I applied to at 4:30 and had extremely generic cover letters for because I didn't really care. How'd you know that, btw?

I'm not sure if you used study groups in 1L but I found them to be unproductive. It's especially bad when you have people saying things that you know are wrong and they get defensive when you question their positions.

Why not go a step further?

I am also curious about this. I just checked and two firms which were originally reviewed have changed to not reviewed. They're not full service firms, if that means anything.

I have a question about the actual mechanics of the dinner. Will there be a set menu? If not, should one play it safe and order the cheapest items of the menu. Appys and desert are also a definite no, right? Is wine also off the table?

Interesting to see that people are already putting Ryerson ahead of established schools like Ottawa.

Are you talking about when socks show when you sit? How would an interviewer even notice that?

Did you hear back about OCIs or a dinner invitation?

Understood.

What's the consensus on wearing pocket squares to interviews? Does it look pretentious?
