Had a screening last week after I submitted grades. Anyone heard from Ropes & Gray for the NY or Boston office?

fyi.
did you interview at all? did they email you to notify you? I'm trying to figure out if hearing nothing for a few weeks is a good or a bad thing...

Also did anyone apply to Gibson Dunn?
Had a screening at Gibson for L.A. office last week. No word yet. Any idea on the # of positions available or timetable for responses?
No clue about timetables and responses...but if you don't mind, could you share your stats? T14? T6? Median?

Anyone heard from the New York office?

T10 above median (~30%), W\E.

Seattle movement?

Yes, I have heard back from the following:

DWT
K&L Gates
Perkins Coie
Fenwick
Stoel
Miller Nash
Graham & Dunn
Hillis Clark
Foster Pepper
Dorsey Whitney

About half of these I received either screening or callback interviews at. the other half rejected

So far, the only firm I know that has made an offer is Foster Pepper. Any others?

I've heard nothing either way from:

Schwabe
Hillis Clark
Fenwick

(mostly dings and a few callbacks from others)

Anyone else heard nothing from those three above firms?

I know that each of the above firms have extended callbacks. However, I don't know if they are done selecting ppl for callbacks or if they have only begun.

I was told by Gibson that they won't begin extending offers until March 1, since they are holding CBs up until that date.

accepted a 1L SA position at a large-ish firm (~140 attorneys) in a smaller market. corporate defense litigation. pay is meh, but its pay, and it will look decent on my resume. stress level has dramatically decreased.

Congrats! That's awesome. I can imagine that's a load off.

for me:
first callback:no offer.
second callback: crossing fingers, but probably 1/5 shot at best.
one more callback left.

I've turned down a solid (but non-paying) job to continue with this process. Hopefully that was wise.

What did you turn it down for? I am interviewing for this program next week...
I ended up getting non-diversity biglaw

but I have a friend who did it and loved it and is going back for this summer (to the firm, not in-house). to be fair, I was never really interested in "the south." I think I looked good because I had family in Charlotte and they're really interested in people who are looking at Charlotte long-term. (for example, I think last year half of the people interviewing were T6/T14, while the other half where from Carolina schools... and not necessarily good ones)

Show a genuine interest in Charlotte, and knowledge of the whole WaMu/BoA bullshit from the past few years, and you'll be set. The whole interview thing was a big blitz, but just have some good stand-by questions. It actually prepared me a lot for OCI.

What was the turn around like after your interview until they let you know?

Three interviews for Diversity SA positions this week . . . sure hoping for an offer.

A friend of mine got an offer from Dinsmore Cincinnati like 3 weeks ago. Unsure if they're going to take it or not.

Thanks (where is my ding letter then).

Not to be anal, "a friend" and "they're"? Do you know how many offers have been extended? At Michigan?

Anyone get an offer from Dorsey & Whitney's Seattle office? Just trying to figure out if I still have a chance.

Didn't mean to be leading with "they're"... I only know of one person with an offer from Dinsmore Cincinnati and I have no idea how many offers they are planning on extending. And my friend does not go to Michigan.

And you may not necessarily get dinged from Dinsmore. My friend requested an offer extension so that they could interview at more places and Dinsmore granted it but with the caveat that they have other people they are considering so an answer sooner rather than later was requested.
