<p>@1994NYC: Unheard of for you, perhaps. I know for a fact I was denied a job at a firm because I had less college work experience than a competitor. I know several other students who lost out on opportunities because they competed with those with better work experience. Many of those, like myself, found work elsewhere, but that’s a hell of a gamble to take just because you’re afraid you might get denied. If the state of the legal job market should teach you anything, it’s that getting denied is no big deal. Go sign up for everything; get something. Then rock the LSAT and walk into a T14 with enough work experience to tell a story.</p>
