I'm also still unclear on whether Sheppard LA has responded to any USC folks yet.

I know of dinners for Gibson, Paul Hastings, and Proskauer. OMM CC, SullCrom and MoFo had receptions, but I am pretty sure they were for everyone who interviewed.

Also, if UCLA has gotten callbacks, I think it would be safe to assume USC should be getting callbacks as well since UCLA's OCI was after USC's. Most big firms starting getting back to people within a day or two. That being said, the only firms above I know people have starting hearing from are Goodwin and Paul Hastings.

USC student here -- definitely didn't get invited to a OMM reception, so not everyone was invited! lol.

I'm sad about Paul Hastings; I thought my interview went really, really well, but I didn't get an invite to a dinner....oh well.

I got a callback from proskauer the day after the screener, but didn't get invited to a dinner. whatevs.

[Anonymous User]

Same as the above poster. From UCLA. No dinner but callback. This whole process is just messed up

Congrats all! USC student here. Hoping to hear from some more firms this week! As a transfer my hopes are not high, but we will see. I have my first CB tomorrow and I'm pretty nervous.

As a transfer student, do you think the "Why did you transfer" thing is going to pop up again? Or, at a CB stage, is it really more about how well you fit with the firm? Basically, when does my transfer stigma go away? lol.

It's not a stigma; if they ask it's because they're curious. Just make sure your answers are consistent because they will discuss them later.

Yeah, I answer the same way every time. Thanks for the advice! I definitely will try and stay consistent with all of my answers tomorrow.

Just be positive and enthusiastic - focus on the future what you wanted out of the new school rather than what you didn't like in the old one.

Anybody heard anything today? I haven't heard back from any firms.


Still waiting to hear who my interviewers are for tomorrow's CB, though. When is it appropriate to email/call the recruiting coordinator and ask who I am interviewing with?

And just like that, I got my list of interviewers. Apparently the trick is to anonymously whine on TLS

In this exact same position except I already spoke to the recruitor today and she said she would get it to me soon but that was 4 hours ago...

You were right! Worrying on TLS works as I just got my list as well

Same here on both counts. By far the worst interview I've had. Interviewers had no interest from the second I walked in the door.
