Despite my strong interest in High & Smith, I was unable to get an interview during your visit to our campus, scheduled for February 16th. I very much wish to be considered for a summer associate position with the firm for next summer and, toward that end, enclose my resume and transcript for your review.  \nMy interest in High & Smith was initiated in January when Lorraine Ramon of your real estate department came to Penn to speak with 1L students about her practice. Her descriptions ofthe firm’s wide range of transactional matters very much interested me. Additionally, her obvious satisfaction with her work and the stimulation provided by her colleagues convinced me that I wanted the opportunity to learn more about the firm.  \nI would welcome the chance to meet with one of your recruiting attorneys, either here at Penn on the 16th prior to or following your scheduled interviews or in Washington. I will be in D.C. often in the coming weeks and would be pleased to come to you for a screening interview if that is more convenient. I can be reached at (215) 444-8883 and thank you in advance for your consideration.  \nSincerely,  \nCynthia White","cbCaitpaQmNBXmdf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaitpaQmNBXmdf","pdf",12704,"English","# Large Firm Cover Letter\n## Request for Screening Interview\n## Background and Interest\n## Meeting Availability and Closing","[{\"question\":\"Why is the student unable to secure an OCI interview, and what is requested instead?\",\"answer\":\"Interview slots are limited, so the student could not obtain an interview during Spring OCI.
