lol OCS
So don't mail firms that are coming to EWI, even if I didn't get an interview with them through lottery?

E-mail them, explain you somehow didn't get an interview slot through the bidding system, but you still really want to e-mail with them and want to know if they might be able to fit in some time for you. My comment was directed toward those who were e-mailing firms before bidding results even came out.

Did you do yours already? If so, how was?
Do it tomorrow. Just got list of interviewers.
I have one scheduled for a bit later. Would you mind reporting back after the interview on how it went overall?
When did you all mail Cahill? My Cahill (very close) contact is on vacation and I really hope I didn't miss the boat on them already.

FWIW, I mailed them last weekend and haven't heard anything.

I mailed Cahill about July 15-17, heard back last week, CB scheduled for next week. Any idea if they actually use these to make offers?

IMO, they're not going to have you interview with multiple partners (one being the chair of the hiring committee) as part of your screening interview.

I e-mailed them maybe a month ago and they offered an interview maybe a few weeks after that.

Oh yeah, it's definitely a callback (look at their FAQs on their site). I'm just wondering whether it's much less likely to get an offer out of this than a regular OCI callback...especially if a lot of people are getting these interviews.

Thanks on the Cahill answers. I know through my contact they're increasing their class size this year by quite a bit (and to basically pre-ITE levels), so it's not surprising they're giving a bunch of these outside OCI. Good luck to everyone at your CB's.

Associate I talked to in preparation for my callback echoed those thoughts...said the firm is doing great right now and they are going to be increasing summer class. What was their class like pre-ITE? I know it was 37 this year.

Last year I received a CB in November for a job application I submitted on Symplicity in July. It can take a while.

T20, right around top 3rd - I've mass mailed about 45 firms in my current and home markets over the past 20 days or so. I haven't heard so much as a peep (I was AT LEAST expecting the dings to be rolling in).

I mean, I wasn't expecting magic. At what point should I start following up with recruiters? Or should I just expect this to be the silent ding?

FWiW, it would be very helpful if posters would indicate school/rank/ties when reporting CBs and dings, particularly when posting anonymously.

T10 school, top 1/3, no WE

e-mailed about 75 firms in last three weeks (most of them about two weeks ago)- have only heard from about 3 firms saying they aren't having a summer class and 3 saying they can't offer me a spot

Which market? This seems a little strange.

Does anybody have an interview actually set up with White & Case yet? They offered me an interview and told me that they would get back to me with a specific date, but that was roughly a week ago (and I'm only going to be in town another week and half).

T10 school, just below median, aiming at a particular (non-IP) practice area.

Somehow got a V20 interview request one day after sending in my materials - mailed yesterday, request came today. Looks like the recruiter was kind enough to kick it to attorneys in my desired practice group, which probably made the difference.

Treat this like a callback? Or like a screening interview?

Is there a lunch?

There's only two types of legal interviews you need to prepare for, screeners and meals. Every callback I've had or scheduled in just several screeners in a row, plus a meal.

I'm fairly certain that callbacks later in the day, even ones arranged through the traditional OCI process, often don't involve a meal.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
