1 offer (Wilmer), 1 ding (Cleary), 1 silence (Sidley) (presumed ding), and 2 remaining CB to actually do

My experience during OCI was that everyone with decent grades that actively wanted DC got at least a few CBs. Didn't realize it was such a tough market.

How long did Wilmer take?

That was my anon. Took exactly a week.

What practice group did you CB with?

Interested in DLA DC status.... and Crowell DC. Any movement? Thanks.

I am top 1/3 at HYS. About 30 DC screeners. 5 CBs. 2 dings, 1 offer, 2 unknown (but at least one is likely a ding). So yeah, I found it to be pretty tough. Strangely, the one offer I got was from a v10 and my dings/silences were from much lower ranked firms.

So you got an offer from W&C? Congrats, but saying V10 seems unnecessary when only one DC firm is actually within that ranking.

No word from Crowell yet, however, decisions should be rolling out soon (this week, or next week).

Similar experience at top ???? (above median, I guess) from Yale. Didn't do as many screeners, but saw a lot of lower ranked firms, and my only offers are Hogan and Covington. You can see why it's so hard for someone who doesn't meet the top firms' grade cutoffs, because the lower ranked firms have such tiny classes.

It could be Skadden, which has a really good DC office (but wouldn't make the point quite as well).

Anything from V&E DC?

Or S&C, Kirkland, Weil, or Cleary. Heck, W&C isn't even V10 (lol Vault).

I have no idea why I thought W&C was #10, but anyway, my post was actually just meant as a passive-aggressive reminder that vault rankings are irrelevant in DC.

Cheers to those with offers!

Great use of anon (on both counts).

WH Offer Yesterday CB Late last week
Crowell offer today, so it looks like things are moving.
My CB with them was an eternity ago.

Anyone with a Sidley DC offer able to tell how long it took them to hear?

Less than 24 hours

Crap. I thought things went really well.

It might just depend on when the hiring committee meets.

Cleary offer the day after CB

I had a CB with WilmerHale over three weeks ago, still no word. Anyone have tips/insight to help explain? I assume I'm waitlisted, pending current offerees' accept/decline decision?

Anyone with a Fox Rothschild offer?

Anything from Wiley Rein?

Anonymous User wrote:Anything from Wiley Rein?

Friend got an offer about a week after his callback. HYS. I don't know other details.

HYS, strong DC ties and previous work experience. I'd say I'm middle of the pack grades-wise in our class, non-URM. Only applied in DC. 9 callbacks, accepted 7. 6 offers so far (declined some to comply with NALP rules), 1 more callback to go.

I felt like it was tough going at the screener phase (I did about 40, plus tons of mass mailing), but better once the callbacks started.

I know an MVP student who got an offer shortly after CB.

I'm hoping it's not met yet.
