Keker ding in the mail.

Keker & Ding sent you what by mail?

Anybody heard from Fenwick or Allen & Overy? Those are the only two firms on my list that haven't been listed here as either calling back or rejecting people.

As for number of callbacks, I'm at 7 out of 17. (All 7 are already on the list). I tend not to interview very well, so I'm pleased with that number.

WilmerHale DC email ding.

So how did everyone do in terms of the number of CBs?

I didn't do too badly: 13 CBs and 2 confirmed dings, out of 20 FIP interviews. 3 are with V5 firms, 3 with V10, 4 with V25, 2 with V50 and 1 with V75.

I'm still waiting to hear from Wachtell and S&C but it's likely by now I've been dinged.

That's quite impressive. I've received 4 callbacks out of 13 interviews (though my list was admittedly top-heavy). I think I've got a stack of mail dings waiting for me at my new address lol. Overall I think transferring from NYU really hurt for the NY firms, and really helped for the more selective DC firms.

gibson dc cb this morning.

Has anyone heard so much as a peep from Wachtell since their interview? Just curious...

[Anonymous User]

i havent. my interviewer said that they tend to take a little longer than other firms (no idea what "a little longer" means, however).

[Anonymous User]

Anyone know if Covington DC is done making calls?

Also, any word on whether Williams & Connolly or Kirkland (Chicago) have made calls?

[bleaker]

Also would like to know if Arnold & Porter DC or Gibson Dunn LA have contacted anyone.

[Anonymous User]

Can confirm Wilmer Hale DC and Williams & Connolly callbacks

Wachtell ding in the mail.

Hmm, any word (even second hand) of a Wachtell CB?

Whoa, gold digger. Slow down, bud. You'll hear soon enough.

I haven't heard anything from Wachtell. I'm sure there's a ding letter somewhere.

Anybody heard from MoFo or Cooley?

I've kind of heard from Cooley... I was interested in a specific practice area that they're growing, and they called me back early this week to tell me that they weren't really what I was looking for/I wasn't really what they were looking for, because the practice area wasn't big enough yet to generate summer associate work. My guess, just from talking with the interviewer over the phone, is that they're still putting together their callback list.

I'm surprised that I haven't heard from 4 firms even thought others have gotten callbacks. I haven't gotten rejections despite hearing about rejections going out. I guess I'm in limbo for those.

which firms? (if you don't mind me asking...)

Boies (NY lit), Skadden (NY), Wachtell (NY), Williams & Connolly.

I imagine the ding letters were lost somewhere, because I can confirm CBs/rejections for all of those firms except Wachtell.

Maybe they put you in the "hold" group?

I still haven't heard from Wachtell or S&C either.

The universal assumption seems to be that all callbacks go out at once. Do firms generally just c/b far more than they need, so it's all done in one shot? What gives?

Nice. That's interesting to hear. Maybe our letters both got lost in transit haha.

Yea I don't really understand. Maybe they're aiming for a certain number of callbacks, and they will hold off on some people to see if they get a high enough percentage of kids taking their callbacks.

I do know that if I hear about everyone getting callbacks like a week ago and then finally get one later, I'm most likely going to turn that callback down. It's a bit of a slap in the face by the firm.

[Anonymous User]

Dood, seriously? Slap in the face?

Do you really care if you were the last callback if it resuilts in an offer?
