Pretty good grades, NYC. What difference does it make?

Grades matter and pretty good is completely relative

Rejections:
1. Clifford Chance (DC)
2. Cadwalader (DC)
3. Beveridge & Diamond (DC/Baltimore)--Bummerrrrr
4. Wyche (Greenville, SC)- for this one I literally received a PHONE CALL rejection and was told that "at this time" I "would not be able to come in for a call back interview." Very unconventional. This firm is also in my hometown, and I have worked there before. #awkward/horrible

6. Patton Boggs (DC)
7. Caplin & Drysdale (DC)
8. K&L Gates (Charleston, SC)
9. Bracewell & Giuliani (DC)--:(
Have not heard anything from:
1. King & Spalding (DC)--though they did email me Wednesday asking for my transcript...weird
2. Axinn, Veltrop & Harkrider (DC)
3. Dechert (Charlotte, NC)
4. Watt, Tieder, Hoffar & Fitzgerald (McLean, VA)

9. Arnall Golden Gregory (Atlanta)
10. Troutman Sanders (Atlanta)
11. Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton (DC)
12. Hollingsworth (DC)
13. Motley Rice (Charleston, SC)--Presumably moving slower because it is a relatively small Plaintiffs firm in South Carolina.

I'm also from Greenville. Gvegas repreSENT
That's weird about Wyche. I've never heard of that before. Why do you think you got a rejection from them and callbacks in DC? Your grades must be good, you're from the area, and they like UVA. (What were your interviewer's initials?)
Watch out for Nelson Mullins. i have a good friend who interviewed with them and he said they're dicks. Also, a lot of firms that i've spoken to have indicated the same. They didn't say anything impolite/rude but the message that I was getting was that they chew you up and spit you out. For instance, if you don't collect from a client, they deduct a certain amount of money from your paycheck. The hours and bonuses are public. for everyone. So it's really competitive and hostile.
I also spoke to Motley Rice and they said that they're interviewing at all schools before doing callbacks. So it may take a while.
Lastly, i haven't heard from AGG either. I thought my interview went really well. Let's hope they just move more slowly...

Edit: Also, has anyone heard from Seward & Kissel DC or Baker Hostetler DC?

For example, I am a runner who runs 10K every other day. When I found that an interviewer is a runner or loves sports (once I saw a pair of running shoes in the office of one interviewer), I would divert the conversation to daily exercise for a moment before going back to the legitimate topics of legal employment. This made the rest of my interview easier than I anticipated.

I'm not a UVA student (though I do attend a peer school) but I like browsing through these threads to find some gems like this. I'll second that this pearl of wisdom is invaluable. Keep your eyes open during the callback interviews and scan the interviewer's office for anything you can use to your advantage. I, too, am a runner. Running and weightlifting are listed under my "interests/hobbies" section on my resume. During an in-office screening interview yesterday, I noticed that my interviewer had a few bibs from various races pinned to a corkboard in the corner of her office. I brought that up and we spent about ten minutes talking about the races we've participated in, carving out time for our workouts, etc. The entire tone of the interview changed immediately and I received the callback invitation before I made it home.
