Northwestern OCI 2015 Forum

So this is such a shit profession that people actually have opinions about this stuff but guys here is the actual answer:

Printer paper=honestly not a big deal to use it.

If by resume paper, people mean white cardstock that is just "nicer" than printer paper= use it. I would even say this is the ideal option.

If by resume paper people mean off-white American Psycho business card type paper = don't use it.

NU will constitute only part of their class. Although they might hand out 30-40 offers ... I don't know what their historical yield is for NU so can't tell.

Sorry I wasn't clear


I meant how can they give out 50 offers at the end of summer 2016 assuming everyone does a good job and 100-% offer rate etc

600 dpi? What are you a farmer? I hired a calligrapher to hand write mine. Flew him in from the Vatican.

I thought we agreed no informabragging.

[personofinterest]

I am an offer-less incoming 2L. I want to hear about callbacks and offers. If your self esteem cannot handle hearing about other people's callbacks and offers, then do not check TLS. "We" did not decide on anything. A couple people complained, but they do not speak for everyone. Grow up.

honestly, some random 3L decided we shouldn't informabrag. i'm perfectly fine with informabragging because i'd rather know if someone got a CB at a firm I interviewed with. maybe some other people who are currently going through OCI want to weigh in on the question: to informabrag or no to informabrag

it wasnt even a 3L, it was a graduate. infobrag all you want and people can and should avoid this forum if they dont want it. what is the point of this forum on this date if not for this very information? if you wish to avoid this forum because of the impending infobragging, i highly doubt youre missing anything crucial about OCI by your avoidance at this point.

[BaberhamLincoln]

All good points


0 OCI callbacks for me so far, but will post if it happens

[crumb cake]

I don't even understand how it could be informabragging if you're posting anonymously.

just dont do it. its not beneficial or constructive.

just dont do it. its not beneficial or constructive.

here is the counter:

1. if you dont want to see it, dont go on this forum. look at the 2014 thread from the beginning of OCI until the end of OCI. there is nothing else on there of value besides callback/not callback info. you arent missing out by ignoring it.

2. there are people out there who do want this information and find it both beneficial and constructive - it could lead to fewer stress through finality and closure. so there is a clear solution for those who do not find it these things: dont go on here. and those people's simple solution should not impede others from getting something beneficial and constructive.

[Johann]

it doesnt matter if you think its constructive or not, its not constructive or beneficial. for experiment purposes, lets just not do it this year and see what happens. if people start posting information, i encourage others to post false information.

ah ok, since you dont think its constructive, its not constructive. i concede this argument.
