HLS 1 L here.
Do we have a general sense of how this year ended up? See a lot of happy posters, but difficult to tell without knowing where in the class posters were and what they were looking for. All in all a pretty good year?

Re: HLS 2012 EIP Thread
I know 1 person who struck out. My somewhat limited impression is that things are slightly more difficult than last year across the board.

It went worse than I thought it would for a lot of people, and I went in fairly pessimistic. Though I don't know too many people who flat out struck out, I do several who came fairly close, and a decent number of people who aren't that happy with the firm they ended up with (though they're grateful to have gotten something at all).

Re: HLS 2012 EIP Thread
I found it varied a lot person to person, given similar circumstances, and did not correlate with grades as strongly as I expected. In particular, the people I know with work experience absolutely cleaned up. TBF, though, I haven't talked to a huge amount of people about jobs yet.Anonymous User wrote:It went worse than I thought it would for a lot of people, and I went in fairly pessimistic.

Re: HLS 2012 EIP Thread
It does vary. Personally, I had average grades and was nervous about interviewing skills and appearance. Was really excited to get a shit ton of callbacks, but disappointed with a small number of offers.Anonymous User wrote:I found it varied a lot person to person, given similar circumstances, and did not correlate with grades as strongly as I expected.

Agree with what everyone else has said. I think it was somewhat worse than last year.

Re: HLS 2012 EIP Thread
I'd say that people I knew with phenomenal grades and/or law review did as well as expected. I saw people with strong, but not phenomenal, grades do poorly, though. It seems that if you don't hit the sweet spot of safety in terms of grades, then they start to wash out and other factors come into play. This is just conjecture, though, and I could be very wrong. I'd have to see actual data to be anywhere near certain, and we'll never get that.

Re: HLS 2012 EIP Thread
On a more positive note- everyone that I know did very well and had a healthy choice of firms. And, a few (including myself) out performed our grades. I'm sure there are people who didn't do as well as they would have liked (as indicated ITT) but that could be from a combination of factors.

(Though I know one guy on law review who got a lot of callbacks, but not a ton of offers)

Re: HLS 2012 EIP Thread
I agree with this. Was at median-ish, and saw people with similar "softs" but better grades clean up. Also saw people with worse grades and better "softs" do better than I did. I myself didn't do as well as I had hoped in terms of options, though I'm happy with the firm I'll end up at.Anonymous User wrote:I'd say that people I knew with phenomenal grades and/or law review did as well as expected.

Note: When you're comparing callbacks/offers and your friends have 17/13 and you have 5/2, you feel like a loser. When the dust settles and your friend is going to Paul Weiss and you're going to Cahill, it's NBD.

Was DC still a tough egg to crack? How many around Median were able to snag something in DC?

Re: HLS 2012 EIP Thread
I got the complete opposite impression of the doom and gloom in this thread. Know multiple people with top offers that have below median grades. It really comes down to personality and how you click with your interviewer. It's kind of disheartening how random the whole process is.

Everyone I know with 0-2Ps are going to V60-V100 firms (6 or 7 people), but could just be the people I know.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
