Re: Akin Gump's pro bono scholar
Yea, you should def send them an email. Could you also ask when they will make callbacks and stuff? It seems like other offices are getting movement.Anonymous User wrote:uh oh, submitted 12 days ago...maybe I should email them to check?

Re: Akin Gump's pro bono scholar
Just got the same ding email. I'm sure it's a boilerplate one. DC office MVPB top 15-20% if anyone's curious. Good luck to those still waiting.

For DC, what happens after the phone conference call with the panel of attys? Is there an additional callback round?

Does anyone know how the phone call with the panel of attorneys is structured?
