The OFFICIAL Fordham 2014 OCI Season Forum

It does seem like a tough year in general whereas last year I think top 20% was relatively safe and this year not so much the case.

Any news from Dechert, Milbank or Hughes Hubbard?

From what I'm hearing legal hiring is taking a dive a bit this year. Median kids at Penn are getting just 1 CB and shit. Great. Just fucking great.

Just gotta keep at it. You'll get some OCI interviews...this isn't over by any stretch.

And to the MAYBE person -- you know what you were getting at with your comment. You may not sense it now, but in the professional world Fordham Law alum look out for each other unlike any other group of law school alums. From my interviewing experience, to working at a firm, Fordham people are different.

It may seem like you're each others competition now, but that couldn't be farther from the truth. You're your own competition. Your grades, your resume, and your personality are yours to succeed or fail by. Have each others' backs through this. You never know when a Fordham law alum will help you out one day...spread the love.

You are blowing my sentence way out of proportion. Just MAYBE I was suggesting a reasonable... er, reason, for why the anon wasn't getting any callbacks.

OMM went really well, Hahn and Chadbourne did kinda suck (the Chadbourne guy seemed like a jerk though, he just gave me a blank stare every time I answered one of his questions). But I've KILLED other interviews where it was still silence and other people got CBs. I have friends who are definitely very good interviews (extremely personable, etc) and they've had similar results, same grades.

This year just isn't shaping up too well.

Yeah, I feel you. Especially the Chadbourne interview. I got dinged from that, too and mine went REALLY well.

Anyone know how to access our new emails?

When I click gmail icon from my.fordham.edu, it loads up fordham.edu email, not law.fordham.edu.

Doesnt look like the old emails migrated nor the test emails I sent to law.fordham email came thru.

Any ideas?

Nevermind.

Switch to Gmail has been delayed due to technical difficulties per the following IT's email.

Was scared for a bit tho. haha.

I think it was absolutely STUPID of them to try to switch during OCI season.
