Did you sign up for anything yesterday? I'm still getting the "You have signed up for 1 interview(s) this week" message for the days I snagged interviews for yesterday. Annoying.Anonymous User wrote:Saw three or four. Snagged Cleary.Anonymous User wrote:does anyone see open slots today?

Na, yesterday during the initial rush I was able to click on available firms only to be told on the second screen that I had the conflict. Guess you just need to be on at the right moment, which is a tad annoying.Anonymous User wrote:same, was on all dayAnonymous User wrote:When? I was on at noon and didn't see anything new.

I think it depends on your schedule as well. If the interview conflicts, it might not show up.
I emailed her. I'll post her reply as soon as she responds.Anonymous User wrote:same, should we email Suzanne about it? maybe it's a glitchdanidancer wrote:Did you sign up for anything yesterday?

People aren't taking out six figures in loans for the dream of working in Rochester under 2 feet of snow 8 months of the year.Seriously, y'all, don't underestimate how awesome it can be to be at large law firms in small cities. I am working at a firm in Upstate New York this summer (granted, I am from Upstate and didn't attend AJF because I knew I wanted to be here), and my firm seems to be more relaxed/friendly/unstressful than I had imagined a law firm could be. Small cities with high qualities of life and low costs of living are freaking awesome (not to mention the low leverage - at my firm they expect everyone will become a partner eventually).
I'm sure everyone got the email Suzanne sent, but I'll repost it, just in case:I emailed her. I'll post her reply as soon as she responds.
Dear Students,
Two announcements about open slots:
1. If the system doesn't seem to be permitting you to select today's round of open slots, try logging out of Symplicity and then logging back in. You should now be able to view remaining open slots. If you do not see any for a given day, then there are no open slots that fit your schedule.
2. Very few open slots remain at this point and yet we understand that students feel pressured to check the system constantly. For this reason, we are going to shut down the open slot system at NOON TOMORROW. It will remain off through the weekend and we will give you at least 24 hours' notice before reopening it (thus, the earliest it will reopen is Tuesday). We hope this removes one source of stress for now and allows you to focus on firm research and interview preparation instead.
Best,
Suzanne
If they were, they wouldn't have implemented a system that forces you to reload a page every 2 minutes in the first place.Anonymous User wrote:Once again the administration is concerned with our mental health. Nice.
OPEN SLOTS WILL REMAIN CLOSED
Open slots will remain closed at this time. We do not anticipate reopening the system before the AJF, but will give you sufficient notice if this changes.
I don't understand how this makes ANY sense at all. If they would just let up know that the system would be open from about 12-1 every day then people could go insane over lunch and not after that. Seems incredibly counterintuitive to take away our chances at more interviews.chatterbox43 wrote:they're so concerned with our health that they're not going to let people sign up for open slots at all?

I get it. My guess is there aren't any more interviews to be had. They're not letting people cancel the AJF unless they actually receive and accept and offer somewhere else. And I'm pretty sure everyone transferring out has given the school the heads up already. When I was looking on Friday the ONLY open slot left for the entirety of the AJF was for Kirkland and Ellis in San Francisco. It makes no sense for us to be freaking out refreshing the page every ten seconds if there just aren't going to be open slots.Anonymous User wrote:I don't understand how this makes ANY sense at all.
