We know. We talked in the thread you posted. The advice is the same.Gus Fring wrote:im an urm at a T10 with a 2.9. My dreams of getting a SA position are over. Not only did I stain my record with shitty grades I cost myself 30k.
Your dreams aren't over, you can still do all right in OCI, you have a whole semester to turn it around.
Stop wallowing around in self pity. It won't get you to your goals. Feel bad if you need to, then make a plan.

95% sure I got a conditional offer yesterday. As if waiting for grades couldn't be worse.

Has anyone who has applied to STB received a confirmation email or any kind? I applied a few weeks ago and have not heard anything.

In-person at one of the big tech firms in the Bay Area left me disappointed. Sucks because I had hopes that I would like it. I thought interviewers were supposed to be personable, but encountered awkward and disinterested people instead.

Re: 1L SA Thread - C/O 2020
1L at T10. Non-URM, first generation graduate student (for whatever that's worth).
I truly thought I failed all of my finals so I didn't even consider the possibility of landing a 1L SA. Having gotten my grades back, I now think I could possibly be competitive for some positions (my school doesn't rank but based on some info I've seen, I'd guess I'm hovering around top 10%).
Any advice for trying to put together some competitive apps this late in the game? Or is it a waste of time given that 1) it's January and 2) I don't fit into any of the major diversity categories.

Two V50 offers in Dallas so far. T20 and non-diverse but IP.

You might not get a 1L SA but you can get your grades up to get a 2L SA. Find out what you did wrong, give second semester your all, and don't look back.Gus Fring wrote:im an urm at a T10 with a 2.9.

Don't think first generation graduate student is considered "diverse," though I guess there's no harm in sending apps anyway. Apply broadly to firms that have hired 1L SAs in the past.Anonymous User wrote:1L at T10. Non-URM, first generation graduate student (for whatever that's worth).

Re: 1L SA Thread - C/O 2020
I don't know why you should be worried -- the chances of you getting an interview in the first place is pretty low. Sit back and relax -- if it comes it'll come. For the latter question, I'd say late February.osgiliath wrote:How worried should I be if I haven't heard anything from Skadden yet?

Still wondering about this.Anonymous User wrote:Has anybody heard anything from ATL and/or NC firms as far as interviews/screeners or even just rejections? I applied to some firms on December 1 but also some after the new year. The only firm I’ve heard back from is an Alston & Bird screener. Anybody progress for any one else? Does this region usually wait for grades? I go to a T-10 and I have pretty solid ties to both markets for what it’s worth.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
