Fall 2014 - 2L OCI Results

Post by Yardbird » Tue Sep 30, 2014 6:34 pm

Fall 2014 - 2L OCI Results Input Form

Last year's results thread popped up around this time, so I figured it might be useful to get this going. I copied the format of the form and this post completely from bk1's form and post from last year. All credit goes to bk1. Like last year, the form and the date from it are completely anonymous.

This is a thread for inputting your 2L OCI results so that future classes can have some data regarding how people fared at OCI. Rather than use anon and then compile the data afterwards, Google forms simplifies the process. The data submitted is completely anonymous (the only thing I will receive other than the questions answered is the time at which you submitted them). Please only submit the form once you have completed OCI, meaning you either have struck out or have an offer in hand that you've accepted. Some may disagree with the way that I've grouped schools but I did it for simplicity's sake since it seemed to be the most conventional (I realize that other groupings may make more sense but this seemed to be the easiest way to do it to me). I know many people are still in the thick of OCI and it may last several more months for some. With that in mind I will release the data once their are sufficient responses so that people can take a look.

Thanks for participating.

School Range: dcng
Market(s): nyc, miami
Approximate class rank: top 45%
Law review/secondary journal: secondary journal
Work experience: 3 years of pretty good/high level WE, not legal related at all
IP background: no
Anything else that might have an impact?: pretty loud/outgoing personality
Screening Interviews: 29
Callbacks received: 6 total, (3 from OCI, 3 straight from mass mailing.)
Callbacks accepted: 5
Offers w/vault ranges: 2v100 accepted 1 in NYC, withdrew from the other 3 callbacks before getting an answer.
How many firms just didn't get back with you with a rejection/callback?: 3-4 from oci, a ton from mass mails
Thank-you notes sent: yes to every callback interviewer. Sent to like 1/5 of my screeners that I thought went very well/were interesting. Anecdotal but interestingly enough, I got a callback from every screener I sent a thank you too and none from firms I didn't. Probably self selection as those were the ones that I thought were the best to begin with.

School Range: MVP
Market(s): The whole east coast. Concentrated on Atlanta (OCI), Charlotte (OCI+MM), Florida (OCI+MM), Virginia (MM), Boston (MM), and NY (MM).
Approximate class rank: Top 59.7%, according to myLSN.
Law review: lol, no. Secondary Journal.
Work experience: 1 year full time post UG, but worked through college.
IP background: No.
Anything else that might have an impact? Did paid work at a firm 1L summer, but it wasn't an SA. Had first-gen college student on resume and it always came up, so maybe that (for better or worse, still can't tell).
Screening Interviews: 22 (OCI) + 2 (MM)
Callbacks received: 5. Two Charlotte (OCI), one ATL (OCI), one Florida (OCI), one NY (MM).
Callbacks accepted: All of them.
Offers w/vault ranges: Just one. V30 Satellite in Charlotte.
How many firms just didn't get back with you with a rejection/callback? Many of them. Lost count after mass mail rejections started getting mixed in.
Thank-you notes sent: Not one.

Atlanta and Florida particularly are no-man's land. Don't count on getting a job there ever.
