CBs/offers/dings from Covington SD?

Over a month and a half since my screener. Silence. That means they like me right?

[jchu223]

I had a callback with Sheppard at the end of August...and it's been silence since. Losing losing losing hope. Have all four of their offers been accepted already?

Anyone know about the kinds of litigation DLA SD does/specializes in?

[Anonymous User]

anyone hear back from DLA SD post-CB? or know about how long the turnaround is?

[Anonymous User]

CCN above median.

10 or so CBs at various US firms. Accepted Cooley SD over some V15 offers and strong Silicon Valley shops. Great firm, I think probably a better deal than almost any option out there.

Thanks in advance.

I had a screener end of August then received a rejection a few weeks later. My friend got a CB invitation around the same time I received my rejection and received an offer. (Not sure on the friend's timeline from CB to offer.)

[Anonymous User]

Was your screener through OCI? Did your friend accept the offer?

Thanks in advance.

Yes through OCI. Haven't asked friend recently, but I believe he/she is waiting to hear from a couple other firms before making a decision.

Had a CB there in early August. Really nice offices, and the people seemed generally happy. I had to withdraw though cause they weren't making decisions until maybe last week or so and I had a deadline. The downside is that they don't usually intend to hire most of their summers, the partner told me that they sometimes no-offer everyone, sometimes one or two, it all depends on their needs. He also said straight up if you have an offer at a defense firm that almost guarantees an offer you should probably take it in the long run.
