Anyone who did a Cooley callback? Any idea how many callbacks / how many offers they're doing?

CB V100 Washington, D.C. office. Non-diversity, top 25% t10

I can't help but feel like I am playing russian roulette with these though- if no offer, whats the alternative being so late in the game? An RA position?

Not sure about Weil, but Kilpatrick Townsend NY invited me for lunch or an office visit this summer. I'm not sure if that's standard for them either.

No. I got the snail mail ding from Weil NY today as well, and despite doing a CB that I had every reason to believe went very well, I just got the form letter basically saying "thanks, but try again for 2L summer", with no offer to do a pre-OCI interview. I'm pretty pissed, to say the least.

Anyone else have any experience with offer letters not having any mention of money in them? V10 firms, so I kind of expected a little more detail... no real worry about not getting paid market if NALP says 3100, yeah?

Nah, very strong likelihood they'll pay below market this summer.

I got a rejection letter from a firm in a secondary market that I had a screener with on-campus that included a pre-OGI CB this summer.

Do you have any information on Callback -> Offer rate for 1L SA positions at Shook?

Not really, but I don't know many people at all and know three (I think) people who got a call back. I had heard a big StL firm gave 20-30 callbacks for 2 slots. It seems offer rates, at least in the Midwest are low.

Shit is rough.

Pretty consistent for the region. I had heard from recruiting staff at a major KC firm that the projected number of 1L SAs for the entire city (among the major players) was something like 12.

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
