Soooo you all have one less competitor. Had my interview this morning, and it was a COMPLETE DISASTER!!!! I completely choked in the first 5 minutes, which btw has never happened to me in an interview before so I have no idea what happened. The last 25 minutes were fine, but I don't think there's any way they're going to let my rough beginning slide. On the other hand, don't freak out about the case part if you still have to interview because it's really easy. So anyway, I hope that all of you who get in have an AMAZING time!!!

could you send me a PM as well since I have an interview in the morning?

me too man lets kill this thing!

I'm sure this question is answered on the app somewhere but...

case study? Is that something they present you when you get to the interview?

Don't worry about it. Like I said, it was more me and not the actual interview, so you should be fine! Good luck!!!

Ok, I am sure you did better than you thought Law_Monkey- I have faith in you!

I just had mine today and I am not feeling great but not feeling bad either. It was pretty straight forward and my interviewer was pretty chill. So, we shall see

Good Luck to everyone else!

there seems to be such a large spat of interviews lately. i guess late jan/early feb slots were few in number? or maybe us cool feb kids are just more vocal about it

Yeah I think a large number of us received our interview invites at the same time, so all the time slots would likely be around the same dates.

Does anyone know the exact dates for the internship? Or does it vary by firm? I the opportunity to do a three-week trip to Spain at the beginning of June but it sounds like it mike conflict with the internship if I do get it :/

It varies by firm. It is likely that the trip would interfere, in which case you have a decision to make.

Loved my interview. Went great and I actually went to school with one of my interviewers. They were two great people and it was so relaxed. We actually talked quite a bit about football. So glad I put so much time into prepping, definitely helped because none of the questions rattled me and I had a lot to talk about, for instance the firm I interviewed at recently strengthened their IP section with new hires and the interviewers seemed impressed that I knew that'd. I really hope I get this!

Great for you! You interviewed at a firm? I assume you didn't interview in D.C.

no I didn't interview in D.C. and yes it was at a firm.

Does anyone know if the letter of recommendation and the transcript has to be on file by the time of the interview? I know we have the option of mailing or bringing out transcripts, but can they arrive after the interview takes place? Thanks!

They can arrive after the interview. Just try to get them in there as quickly as possible. Until your file is complete (as in law school) they refuse to make a decision.

Does anyone know how to check if they have successfully received your LOR and transcript?

What is the general consensus about which factors matter the most? We all know that LSAT is the most important factor in LS admissions, followed by GPA, URM status, Work Experience, LORs....But what about SEO? From what I've gathered, A T14 acceptance is necessary (an exception every now and then), but it is obviously not sufficient. So, acceptances seem to get you in the door, but after that, what is it?

My guess

Acceptances/where you enroll: 30%
Interview skills/ how personable you are: 30%
Work Exp: 15%
LSAT: 10%
GPA: 10%
Undergrad: 5%

These numbers were based off of hearsay and browsing the thread.

GPA is a hell of a lot more important than 10 percent. I was told by a recruiter than the average GPA is 3.7+ They do take people with lower GPA's but you're going to have some really great things going for you. Undergrad is very important as well--a lot more than 5 percent. Check out the profiles of the people who've made it in recent years. The firms that SEO connect you with are very focused on prestige. If anything LSAT may be the least important factor of the one's you listed. I was told that the average LSAT for the program was in the low 160s--with many people being accepted with a high 150s score. You certainly don't need a sky high (170+) LSAT.

what do y'all think, based off of what you have heard?

Thanks Batman! Those numbers were pretty much out of my ass with no substantive evidence. Everything you said is good news for me, except for the undergrad prestige. Do you think I will have to make up for this in the same way a lower GPA applicant would?

My interviewers made it a point to comment that they dont recruit at my school and dont usually see ppl from my undergrad so this might have legs now that I think about it.
