I've heard from a couple of New York firms that they plan to start interviewing 3Ls in September so maybe all hope is not lost.
Anecdotally, I also know of some people turning down NY offers for other markets. There's some spots out there, keep trying
what NY firms start interviewing in September?
I second that question
LOL @ all the people asking this question. If I was a 3L looking for a job with a biglaw firm and knew that the firm was still interviewing and hiring, why would I tell anyone else? The less people that apply, the better my chances are.
Sorry I assumed not everyone is a cutthroat asshole and people are generally nice

I would seriously reconsider this thinking if you're planning on surviving as an attorney

No 2L SA, and it was mass mail.

I have my only callback coming up and holy fuck I'm so nervous. It feels so god damn make or break. Desperate at this point, although I actually really like this firm more than any other firm I interviewed with 2L.

V15 CB in NY today. Sent in the app almost a month ago. I think 3L hiring is just getting rolling at some firms.

I'm starting at a V100 in less than two weeks, also had an offer from a V30, both came during bar prep. No SA. Graduated from a TTT (top 2% and Law Review), spent 3L year hustling like hell, networking, & stayed very positive. Don't give up and don't listen to what people say on here. Yes, it's difficult, but not impossible.

anyone aware of any other NY firms that are still reviewing 3L applications? Also are people specifying what practice group they're interested in their cover letters?

Do you mean hustling academically? How did you network, and with whom?

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
