Haha, I don't understand the Sharks. Sometimes they let EDM, FL roll over them and then sometimes they beat on the Ducks like that. So wildly inconsistent.

Good prep I dug up from the UChi thread, every question I was asked is on this list + some more others have gotten.

Why law now?
Why Chicago?
What am I doing between now and law school (I was a December graduate from UG)?
Resume related questions (questions about specific items or bullet-points on your rezzy).
Have you ever had a time when you were out of your element or comfort zone?
What is your greatest accomplishment?
If you could go back in time and redo one thing in your life, what would it be?
Discuss a memorable class or moment in a class.
Why did you choose your undergrad?
What is your preferred work style?
What do you do in your free time?
How would your professors describe you?
How would your peers describe you?
How would your coworkers describe you?
Do you have any questions for me?

re Chicago interview, I was also asked the following:

Describe a time that you had to make a difficult decision. What did you consider/what went into your decision-making process?
If you could have dinner with anyone in the world, living or dead, who would it be?

ETA: I'm also available via PM for anyone with specific interview questions. I really loved my Chicago interview

RE chi interview

I got the dinner with living/dead question, too.

From what I've gathered, it seems like they have two interview styles going on (perhaps it's just the personalities of the interviews). Many people had an interviewer that hardly seemed interested, was tired, and made no connection to app materials. Others reported that the interviewer was somewhat knowledgeable of their app materials. Just a heads up.

(you can PM me for my experience if you'd like)

Sounds really purposeful and not just soft-ball, why Chicago/yp-ish questions. Not that I've been invited to interview, but if I were, I would definitely sit down with someone I trust and practice for this interview.

+1

I found that question to be tough because I have one of those no regrets/no failures outlooks on life. This may be one you want to think about before the interview if you share a similar outlook as mine.

Weird. YP-alert if you ask me. Though I've never known them to be a YP offender.

ETA: I opted out of my interview and was accepted straightaway. Do you have any WE ballcaps? Maybe they are a little stressed about that?

No JS zone today

Just got an emai lfrom WUSTL stating they enjoyed speaking with me and that my application was still in review. Also invited to schedule a call to discuss my application, should I desire. Not sure what to do considering nothing has changed and I'm not sure how to further demonstrate my continued interest. Advice?
