UVa OGI Callback Thread Forum

[Anonymous User]

Seems like a quiet monday on the callback front but I guess Friday was light

Not on the ding side of things.

I have 4. 2 are from OGI and 2 are from screeners I did before OGI in my home market. I have friends with lower grades than me who have 3+ CBs from OGI and friends with higher grades with less. I think it really depends

From my experience thus far this year it is SO dependent on crazy intangible things. Roommate and I have similar grades, similar backgrounds but I have a large (I think in comparison to others) number of CBs and roommate has a small number.

Definitely agree with this. I feel like I am underperforming given grades/the firms that preselected me, but it's possible that bad interviewing/lack of WE/whatever else is coming into play. At least earlier last week, there were a bunch of people in these threads in the 3.5 range who were worried about having only 1-3 CBs. I still haven't heard of anyone who's not LR having say, 5+ CBs, but as others have mentioned, this could just be because it's easier for such students to lose anonymity, and not everyone is on TLS.

Not on LR, 3.5ish, have 5+ CBs. Right about the anonymity so trying to keep quiet, as well as I would never want to make others more worried/feel bad about their own # of callbacks.

Are most people who are underperforming heavy on DC? I am 2/15 for DC firms, but 2/3 in secondary markets (even without any sort of connection to the market).

Katten?
Sheppard Mullin?
Edwards Wildman?

Are they NY or DC? Those two markets seem particularly tough to crack this year.

Edwards Wildman, Boston?

I think they were the only office recruiting at OGI from them so I would assume so

[Anonymous User]

Anyone hear anything from Baker & McKenzie (DC) or Venable (DC)? If so, when? Tyia!

Original anon at 7:55 here. Yeah, should have clarified. What I meant was I didn't know anyone with those numbers/stats who was targeting all/primarily major markets. Some of us don't have strong ties to secondaries, which makes it all the more difficult.

10:35 anon. Yes, one of those two markets.

ETA: Not trying to make people feel bad or anything, but those reading this thread should know that there are a number of non-LR people doing extremely well.

+1. Similar situation, non-LR grades, double digit callbacks in NY/DC. I would attribute pretty much all of that to lots of interview prep and practice... so to future 2Ls reading this thread prepare prepare prepare is my biggest advice.

[Anonymous User]

to follow up on ^ - also have double digit callbacks in NY and am not LR (did a lot of interview prep though)

I am aware of at least one Katten Chicago CB today. Good Luck

Anyone hear from any Hogan office?

[Anonymous User]

Hogan DC. OMM DC.

[Anonymous User]

Has anyone heard from TX other than v&e and hayboo? Having a mild breakdown from the silence.

I know that (at least some) callbacks have gone out for Jones Day, Andrews Kurth, and Jackson Walker Dallas. I have no knowledge of Houston.

I received a snail mail ding from JW Houston. I did them through OTIP though.
