Does anyone have any word out of NRF DC? Or Sidley NYC?

Bumping this and adding a datapoint elsewhere. Woke up to an invite from a Houston firm despite listing, movement continuing there.

I'm not OP but it took me nearly 2 weeks to get the offer from CB with DPW. Got the call right before Thanksgiving.

For folks who have gotten CBs from DPW: what are your GPA rankings like (top 10%, 20%, etc)?

Has anyone heard back from PW after your CB and how long was the wait?

I know some people at my school who are probably top 25-30% received CBs and offers. People who are higher, too.

Does any of your offer letter say any conditions for maintaining the offer? Like 2L GPA requirement?

I interviewed in the afternoon. To answer another poster's q, top 10%.

Also wondering this. They told me 1-2 weeks. Though Thanksgiving may have slowed things down.

Not OP but have DPW offer - conditions are: "standard conflicts and background checks including checks on employment eligibility, criminal history, academic misconduct and degree verification." I don't think any firm will rescind an offer unless you don't graduate. My T14 doesn't rank us but I think I am top quarter or so.

I was told 1 week+. Does anyone know how often/when PW's recruiting committee meets?

Got an offer from a V50 but the deadline to accept is early January. However, I got some screener interviews late January for V20. Any thoughts on maybe whether I should reach out to those firms to see if they'd be willing to move up the interviews?

Yeah you should. I believe firms are willing to accommodate the interview schedule when it comes down to the offer deadlines of other firms.

YMMV, I think while this usually is the case it's going to really depend on the market this year and how fast they're moving. I definitely was able to get firms to move me up when interviewing for 1L summer spots but with everything pushed so far back this year I've had firms say that they won't be able to push up my interview this year (even with some firms where I did a callback for 1L and received an offer, but was told I would be able to be interviewed in January). Had an offer from a firm that expired a few weeks ago and other firms told me with their delayed schedule and most schools not starting OCI until December at the earliest, they wouldn't be able to move things up that much. I ultimately turned the other offer down, and I hope that wasn't too risky of a move.

Are the people in this threat getting interviews / offers simply doing the resume drops on the firms' career sites, or doing something a bit more strategic (e.g., information interviews first, sending your resume to a friendly alum)?

I got a direct callback that led to an offer (and a few interviews with other firms) by reaching out to partners in the practice area that I was interested in. I was pleasantly surprised by how many people are willing to help.

Yes, heard that a classmate had and accepted an offer in Kansas office around a week ago

All of my callbacks came from networking with alums, not applying through the site. Only one had a 'screener,' and that was likely because I had only spoken with one associate at the firm rather than any partners.

Thanks for the info. Do you know whether they also notify rejection within 72 hours as well?
