If you meet with the professor, you can get a better idea of how your memo fares and what specifically can be done to improve it. If you're using it for applications where they might actually care (i.e. clerkships(?) but def not OCI), then you want to be doing this regardless of your grade/raw score.buckiguy_sucks wrote:That's frustrating, was hoping to know sooner so I could use it as a writing sample for apps if it's not garbage
Do I not need to wait for the grade to do that though? I'm assuming with the whole blind grading thing the answer is yesCapitol_Idea wrote: words
Wait your memos are blind-graded? How does that even work given that you've been working on them and (theoretically) getting feedback and advice throughout the semester on them? It was 3 years ago but I'm pretty sure there wasn't blind grading for my class.buckiguy_sucks wrote:Do I not need to wait for the grade to do that though?

Unless the agencies you're applying to says you can't use edited work, why don't you use the memo you worked on with your law fellows?buckiguy_sucks wrote:At least one of the federal agencies I was looking at required it, I think treasury maybe?
Because I put more effort into the graded one and seems better to me at least but I'd like confirmation of thatLondonbear wrote:Unless the agencies you're applying to says you can't use edited work, why don't you use the memo you worked on with your law fellows?buckiguy_sucks wrote:At least one of the federal agencies I was looking at required it, I think treasury maybe?

Depends on the professor but in my experience like 90+% are at the very end and extremely few are early. So enjoy getting your grades at the end of January.buckiguy_sucks wrote:What's the earliest grades come out? Are they generally early or all last minute?

according to the registrar's site they're due the 15th so end of January would be quite upsettingHand wrote:FMLCapitol_Idea wrote: Depends on the professor but in my experience like 90+% are at the very end and extremely few are early. So enjoy getting your grades at the end of January.
