One major exception: government honors programs. Each year, many government departments recruit and hire for a limited number of openings reserved for recent graduates. Competition for these programs is often intense, but grades are only one part of what the agencies usually look for. Commitment to working in government, subject-matter expertise and/or experience, and long-term potential are all important factors, so everyone interested is encouraged to apply. Hiring for government honors positions varies by agency, but are frequently quite early. Some deadlines have passed already, but many others are yet to come. We strongly encourage students to peruse honors program listings ASAP, so you don't miss out on great opportunities! It's easy. You can find extensive listings for government honors programs (including federal, state and local), broken out for you by agency and by deadline, here: http://arizonahandbooks.com/u/ucdlaw.
