Offer from regional firm in a secondary market & V70 - V80 firm in DC. Haven't decided yet. Few more callbacks to do.

Median, secondary journal, WE, URM

Offers from two NYC firms in the V30-ish range. Like them both, will do post-offer visits. Still have callbacks with three other firms (V30, V50, 2xV90ish), canceled two other callbacks, awaiting results of V20 callback.
Top third, WE, secondary.

Since we're not posting firm names anymore: offer from one V10 and callbacks with a V10, V20, and V30. All in DC.

Offers from one NYC (V40), four DC (V30, V60, V80, NLJ250). Waiting on post-CB decisions from two NYC (V10s). Got one more DC (V100) CB. Cancelled five other CBs. One post-CB rejection from Patton Boggs DC.

Top 15%, Secondary, DC WE

Offers from V10 NYC, 2 from V20 NYC, 1 V20 DC, canceling a few of my other callbacks, will probably take the offer from the V10.

Top 1/3, secondary journal, moot court

Just accepted an offer from a V50 here in DC, median, secondary, WE

Just received a callback invitation for Morgan Lewis (DC)....there is still hope!

Has anyone heard anything from the following:

Nixon Peabody?
Locke Lord?
Orrick?
Hughes Hubbard?

Has anyone heard from Schulte? Offers or silence? When was your CB?

Did anyone hear back from Keller & Heckman?

The Keller and Heckman recruiter responded to me in late August that the recruiting committee would be meeting soon to determine screeners... but I haven't heard anything yet

oh wow so they havent done any callbacks yet? I thought they would have offered callbacks within two days of a screener for the "sure" candidates and then left the rest as "maybes"

I have heard Orrick gave out some offers, but also have heard some people who haven't heard anything dating back to EIW.

Foley (DC) ding via email.

Checking in...I updated my previous post with all of the info; it's on p4 of this thread for posterity. The abridged version is that I have a few offers and I'm pleased to be in a position to choose.

Lessons learned:

• EIW is not (and should not be) the end of job-hunting.
  Fit is incredibly important.
  People do read the writing sample.
  I was pretty chill about interviewing, and I think that not being overly stressed helped.
  Ask interesting questions; it's not as hard as it seems to have an adult conversation.
  Definitely do mock interviews.
  Don't be paralyzed by thinking that you have to know everything right now; people are okay with hearing that you have multiple goals and desires.
  Always be on time.
  Wear a fucking great suit.
