Those emails will not go out for a while. I doubt SLIPs have even been referred to components yet. I'm not sure what the person above is talking about...


...unless they're just skipping the review of applications this year and just selecting everyone in the top 1 percent at HYS. Maybe.

As a pessimist who really wanted DoJ prior to law school and isn't at HYS, I'd be totally unsurprised.

I got a further consideration email and I am decidedly not top 1% HYS. It seems component specific for sending these emails, so it may still be a while for most to go out.

For SLIP? Also, care to share which component?

[EijiMiyake]

Also interested in which component is sending out emails. TYIA

I'm assuming it was from one of the branches participating "informally" or a US atty office. Last year, the majority of people didn't get referred to components emails until the first week of October, but there were some who found out earlier from components hiring informally.

Yeah, I ended up writing simple but sincere answers, and am now wondering if I did enough. I get the sense you really have to be able to show commitment to both public service and the subject matter of component to have a good shot.

I wrote short answers too and have pretty much no public service background, but I figured I'd apply and see what happens. Meh, maybe they'll decide they like me anyway.

Dumb question, but which ones are participating "informally"?

[Anonymous User]

Not a dumb question. Random components (not listed on the 'participating components' site) can decide to select people, even though they arent listed as employment preferences. I have no idea how this works, but I do know it happened last year for SLIP.

a formally hiring component is sending emails but this also makes sense

[Anonymous User]

well then thats just absurd. doj is shaking up everything this year.

last year it was...

application received-referred to components-selected for further consideration (email) and this all occurred after honors was done hiring

[Anonymous User]

have there been any avue status changes (from 'app received')?

maybe it's going quicker because they have so few components participating at all, and so few spots for each, that it's easier to just quickly grab the top 50 standout applications or so and trash the rest

[leobowski]

Some of the USA offices "selected for further consideration" within a week or two last year. Just because some people are hearing already does not mean the whole kit n' caboodle is done with.

For the love of God, people. Say what component (e.g., Tax, Immigration, Civil Division, Antitrust, etc) you got an email from if you got one, or which you ranked 1 and 2 if your status changed online.

+1

You're not really risking anything, considering the anonymity plus the number of applicants to the program.

Yeah, that'd be really good. I'm getting antsy wondering if the components I applied for are the ones sending out the e-mails or not.

EOIR

no change in online app--still says "referred to components"

[Anonymous User]

Any rough idea how many EOIR emails went out and if those are likely their top choice candidates, or just happened to be at the top of the pile?

[Anonymous User]

Aw. I applied for EOIR and haven't heard anything.

this process is already so terrible and it's only just started

while I agree that this would be nice information, I think it's unlikely to impossible that anyone posting here will possess it.

[Anonymous User]

My application status is still "Application Received by DOJ." Should I start panicking?

[Anonymous User]

Has anyones status changed from app received who either a) didn't apply for EOIR SLIP or b) is an Honors applicant?
