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

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.Anonymous User wrote:I've heard nothing either way from:

I was told by Gibson that they won't begin extending offers until March 1, since they are holding CBs up until that date.Anonymous User wrote:Anybody else heard from Gibson or Munger Tolles?

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.Anonymous User wrote: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.
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.

Re: 1L diversity SA positions
What was the turn around like after your interview until they let you know?Anonymous User wrote:I ended up getting non-diversity biglawAnonymous User wrote:What did you turn it down for? I am interviewing for this program next week...Anonymous User wrote:just an fyi - pay with the Charlotte diversity program is only $1400 on the in-house side. ended up turning it down last year for more cash.
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.

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

Re: 1L diversity SA positions
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.Anonymous User wrote:Thanks (where is my ding letter then).Anonymous User wrote:A friend of mine got an offer from Dinsmore Cincinnati like 3 weeks ago.

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.
