There's no time to get depressed about shit yet. If you have 1 CB put all your energy into prepping for that and massmailing. There will be plenty of time to cry and be depressed after we strike out.

Genuine Question: is this thread just for tracking screener-->CB results? As things move forward do people want to see offers posted here too? Or given the situation is that crossing from helpful to DBag status?

Here's a massmail form:

"Dear <NY firm>:

I am a rising 2L at Northwestern University with a 3.6 GPA, and would like to apply for an SA.
Please forgive me for being a fucking idiot in bidding Chicago.

Yours Truly,
<yourname>"

I think that's fine too. Just OCI firms (so no Quinn or massmail offer info). Give your cb date and offer date. Don't forget to mention which office of the firm.

2 Callbacks
11 Dings
10 TBD Screeners

5 of the TBD were within the first couple days of OCI, so I'm assuming I'm in some kind of maybe pile.
5 of the TBD were within the last couple days of OCI, so I'm assuming I'll be CB'd or dinged in the next couple days.

PH DC email DING
Gibson Dunn NYC snail mail DING
Covington DC snail mail DING

Here's the kicker... email DING from Freshfields, when I have a CB from them... Now, I'm just confused as fuck.

WHAT DOES IT MEAN!?!?!

Recruiting fucked up and blasted the ding e-mail. You're fine. The same thing happened to me with a firm when I went through OCI. Just e-mail your recruiting contact to make sure.

Got CBs with multiple NY V10s with higher median CBs than Kirkland/Sidley/Latham, but got dinged by all 3 of them. I'm pretty sure its sucking more ass than usual.

Please massmail. I know it sucks but OCI is just one method of finding a Big Law job. There really are a lot of firms that don't come to NU and a lot of firms you didn't have the opportunity to meet with.

Brother, call recruiting asap. In my mind, and in this fucked-up world of OCI:
email proof of ding > verbal CB

100% this. and target NYC, where NU GPA's get more bang for the buck. Last, if you can, stress transactional (the market is flooded with Lit).
