DOJ Honors 2016-2017 Cycle: Application Status Tracker in the OP - Please update!

The silence/slowness is excruciating. Just me?

also dying. this whole finalist designation thing doesn't seem to alleviate the problem of transparency if there are still internal hurdles that we don't see for making an offer.

I keep thinking that maybe one of my references hasn't replied or something. If they would just let me know, I could provide a new one, or whatever.

I actually had this issue a couple weeks ago, and they did reach out to me and I provided alternatives and then bugged my original reference to also respond. This was for ATR. If it was an issue, they'd reach out.

I so wish there was a ranking system that we could see. Mostly so I'd know whether/when I need to start getting aggressive about finding other jobs.

So, another day of silence. I'm assuming nothing will happen tomorrow.

Yeah this is kind of excruciating.

Got a spam phone call. My heart lurched. I thought waiting for admissions decisions was tough, but nope.

If you want to share in my now even more excruciating wait:

I just filled out the PMF application, and found out that only 60% of PMF finalists receive an offer. I hope the odds for finalists are better here.

Yeah this is definitely worse. Totally going crazy. Honestly wish they didn't have a status thing. I did SLIP but already had a summer thing lined up, so I ignored avue last year during the application process. When I got a call it was a pleasant surprise. Having something to obsess over seems to make this far anxiety inducing.

They sent an email, but they might have tried calling (my phone isn't working). The offer was for a small immigration court in the RGV. Good luck!

Nope, it wasn't, but I selected a couple of other cities in Texas, so it wasn't a totally random.
