I heard back from one within hours and the other one took three days.

I got my offer on the same day as my CB. Most of my friends have been getting offers within 2 business days, though I understand some firms may take up to a week for their hiring committee to meet.

And wow congrats to the v5 3.1 offer. I didn't even apply to firms that selective, but now wish I tried.

My offer was 2 weeks after my callback date, even though they told me they would take 3 weeks to consider it.

Just got dinged after my only callback (which I got from networking). No luck from mass mailing either. Shit sucks..

[Anonymous User]

What's next? Approaching that point, too.

[Anonymous User]

I'm there too. I got 1 CB (not from my 30+ OCI interviews)...did one yesterday and they told me they'd get back in two weeks...which sounds like a ding.

Feel like I'm in a professional wrestling match...ding ding ding!

depending on the firm, not necessarily. keep up the mass mailing and talk to your OCS people. there are a lot of mid-size/small firms out there (and be prepared to take a cut on your pay, but some pay is better than none?)

On my last ropes here also, waiting on 2 callbacks. I feel like I'm crashing and burning. Should hear back from one at the end of the week, which will either be my saving grace or it will further the burning process.

Each firm that offered me said the same thing. "We will let you know within the next two weeks." But a partner would call that evening or the next day.

Don't stop mailing!!! Just because you haven't heard from a firm doesn't mean shit...firms get back to candidates at very different times. I've heard of firms getting back to peeps a month later. so keep on trucking

how's everyone doing?

3.0X at Bottom of T14. Sitting on 3 CBs (1 DC, 2 NY). Been almost 2 weeks and have no idea how to proceed. Sit and wait? Send out mass mail to recruiters? Mass mail to alum? This wait is killer.

[Anonymous User]

Same thing here, but with LA firms. Can't figure out if grades are the reason for the long wait or if it's because of something else. Regardless, slowly dying here too. Hoping for the best for everyone here.

lower T14, 3.2x, think i'm personable.... 20+ screeners, 0 CBs. i've been mass mailing like crazy and networked all summer, etc.

no idea what i did wrong or what i can do at this point.

[Anonymous User]

lower T14, 3.2 something, around 25 screeners, 13 cbs, got 7 offers from 8 cbs so far. FWIW I bid pretty conservatively in NYC, my home market (smallish regional), and another regional market I have ties to, and in every successful interview I just shot the shit with the interviewer and did not talk about the law at all. But just keep networking and mailing, everyone! From people I've talked to it sounds like a lot of firms are scheduling callbacks into late september so there is still a substantial amount of time left!

A recruiter I talked to said to email her after my interview to follow up and express my interest...not sure if it applies to the firms you interviewed with, but it might help! and I doubt there is anything to lose like that. Also, some firms just move slowly. I have a buddy that is either 1 or 2 in his lower T14 and he hasn't heard back from several firms still after two weeks or more

How's everyone doing now?

lower T14, 3.2x, still 0 CBs....waiting on 3 firms. losing all hope

Status udpate:

CCN, 3.08
27 screeners, all through OCI, got no responses to mass mail
9 CBs - accepted 4, canceled the rest.
3 offers, one rejection ( 3 vault 30-50, one secondary market)

Feeling pretty ecstatic of my outcome, good luck to everyone.

[Anonymous User]

3.2x at lower T14. One CB -> rejection at v50. Probably my only shot at Vault.

Two upcoming midlaw CBs.

[Anonymous User]

Bottom 25% at Lower T14. It's been rough out here.

[Anonymous User]

A little better than bottom third at T10 here. I had four to six years of substantial work experience that I was able to spin for a specific practice. I also worked a lot on my interviewing skills. 27 screeners, 10 CBs, cancelled 6 and received 2 offers.

3.2x at CCN
30 screeners, received 8 CBs, took 6
1 offer (NYC V30) - but still on hold at a lot of firms
