Re: Philadelphia Area Diversity Fair
So it looks like Cozen, MLB, Dechert have submitted their picks at least. Friend also said she heard from Drinker and Saul.Anonymous User wrote:MLB and DechertAnonymous User wrote:Comfortable saying which two?Anonymous User wrote:Got 2 interview requests of my 14.

If I had to guess I'd say they all got released already, we just don't have enough people in the thread to account for all of the firmsAnonymous User wrote:I have MLB and DM.Anonymous User wrote:Apparently Archer & Greiner, ReedSmith, and Pepper Hamilton all sent out invites too (friend got them).

Re: Philadelphia Area Diversity Fair
I agree with this. To clarify, the "invites" are just the interviews showing up on simplicity, right?Anonymous User wrote:If I had to guess I'd say they all got released already, we just don't have enough people in the thread to account for all of the firmsAnonymous User wrote:I have MLB and DM.Anonymous User wrote:Apparently Archer & Greiner, ReedSmith, and Pepper Hamilton all sent out invites too (friend got them).

At least for 3Ls, Conrad O'Brien and Nelson Levine have also submitted their selections.

Re: Philadelphia Area Diversity Fair
Did anyone get more than three interviews? It seems like that's the max

I have 3 too. Unless someone shows up with 4. . . . 3 must be the limit.

It's all back for me. I was going to say they might be doing another round of scheduling, but apparently not. Interesting that 3 would be the maximum.

Re: Philadelphia Area Diversity Fair
I don't know how many of you went last year or if this would be useful to you, but when you get there, if there is anyone who dropped the interview (which there are a lot of because of OCI and not being able to do double interviews) you can sign up for an interview the day of. I think I had three as well and ended up having 6 or 7. Additionally, I got a couple emails before hand offering me additional interviews. So I think it is three to start, and then you will probably get more. Good luck to you all!

Re: Philadelphia Area Diversity Fair
Also, given that this is billed as “diversity,” are the attendees mostly AA?

Re: Philadelphia Area Diversity Fair
Got a 4th interview with Dechert. So it looks like they're going through resume review and accepting cancellations now.
Also, I too am curious as to whether anyone has ever gotten an offer from this fair. I'm looking at the associates at some of these firms and I know I lack the credentials. I'm feeling like this is a way for firms to just participate in a diversity career fair and then put a line on their website about "how devoted to diversity" their firm is.
