Anyone heard back from the FCC?

[Anonymous User]

I got an email from FCC yesterday saying we'd be hearing back next week and maybe the week after

Oh see now I'm neurotic about why you got an email and I didn't. Did you email them?

Am I wrong to think that the FDIC already extended offers, and the 2-3 people they extended them to aren't ITT? Curious more than anything else now.

No I didn't email them- they sent it to me as an "application status."

Still waiting for a yes/no response after my Round 2 and two separate email updates.

I think they are done with 3rd round. I cancelled my 3rd round interview, but it was scheduled for Dec. 4th.

One of my updates was on Dec. 3 and they said they were still waiting for decisions for 3rd round from Gen. Counsel.

Any DOL updates since the "active consideration" e-mail?

The waiting game is brutal. At least once you find out either way you can move on, but being stuck in perpetual limbo is awful. Good luck on hearing something soon!

Nothing here. I think it will be a while...

Hang in there, you guys. I didn't get my offer until April. Keep your chin up and keep applying to other stuff as well.

NOAA ding by email earlier today. 2nd round was early last month. Best of luck to anyone still in it!

No word about FTC here. I don't think they've given any offers yet. LOCI?

IDK, I feel like they're waiting for the omnibus bill. They're an independent agency, so that's more imporant for them. Highway bill just went through, and the omnibus is going next.

Why would this influence their offer timing? Is their funding still up in the air to the extent it would influence summer hires? Seems unlikely that the higher-ups in the FTC who are concerned with funding bills is also deciding summer hires. But I really don't know.

It may be more that they can't sign off on any future expenditures until the funding has been issued. (No idea about this agency, but there are lots of weird things about government funding procedures.)

I'm waiting on the full time honors program - it sounds like we're not waiting for the same job.

It is not unheard of for an agency to move forward with the preliminary stuff dealing with HP hiring without having the funding ready yet. So yeah, it is quite possible that the FY16 funding limbo is affecting offer timing.

I'm waiting on a decision for Summer Legal Honors for the BC. I'm a 2L.

Are most of the honors programs being discussed here for post-grad? Or summer honors programs?

[A. Nony Mouse]

This has been for discussion of 3L postgrad positions, really, although the title doesn't specify.

[eas09d]

I'm pretty sure fed positions for 2L's are referred to as "pathways programs," and post-grad positions are called "honors programs." I had a pathways job last summer. I'm sure there is a separate TLS forum for the various pathways programs.

[A. Nony Mouse]

There are some 2L honors programs called that (I want to say FTC/FCC maybe?).
