Sorry to hear that :/ Was this after a callback or screener?

Same here. Probably they are not doing 3L recruiting.

OG anon, about 3 weeks after callback

What was your timeline from screener to callback? Thanks!

They for sure had 3L listings on simplicity last month. Which group did you interview with?

Bump. Anyone heard back from Weil NY?

[Anonymous User]

Anything from Milbank? It seems like they've had entry-level postings on their website for a little over a month now.

I have a few callbacks coming up. For those who have done callbacks already, what major differences were there between 2L and 3L callbacks?

interested in this too--really appreciate any insight!

Original person who asked this but I've now completed a few of the callbacks. Biggest differences were that the firms aren't really sure when they'll make decisions by, they will frequently ask why you aren't returning to your summer firm (and probably why you weren't at a firm if you worked elsewhere), specific practice group interests will come up almost certainly. Outside of that, very similar to 2L callbacks. Also, firms tend to not hold open more than 1 offer for a position they are trying to fill from what I heard.

This is so helpful! Thank you!

No problem and best of luck! Looking forward to being done with this whole process. Definitely prepare for a wider variety of "why" questions than 2L year. Why this firm, why not your old firm, why this city, why not your old city, why this practice group, why not litigation (if you have a bunch of lit experiences on your resume). Fit ia still heavily emphasized, if not moreso because they don't have a summer to vet you for fit.

Thanks again. How long have you been waiting to hear from your cbs? And are you interviewing in NYC or other markets?

I believe myself and at least 1 other person on here received phone calls gauging our interest in certain practice groups.

For those dinged at STB, were you interviewing for the PA office? I interviewed there last week but haven’t heard yet. Getting very anxious.

Someone at my T14 school received a screener several days ago for a certain specific practice group.

Any idea on when they sent in their app, and/or their stats (GPA range, 2L summer at big firm, offer/no offer, etc)?
