Yanking the Carrot Away

My dreams of working for my 'ideal' firm are shattered.
I find out yesterday that they (Fulbright & Jaworski) will only interview the top 5% of the 2Ls.
Great.
That means all A's including at least one A+ in every class this Fall, Spring and Summer.
Possible, but highly unlikely.
I have a glass ceiling at B+. Oh, well.
Here's a strange coincidence: Fulbright calls my office today inquiring about IT services. I currently work as a software consultant. So, who
knows what that will bring.
