Do you have ties?

This is me. Apparently LA didn't all go out. Now I have 10. So check again if you haven't checked in a while.

Does anybody know how many slots each firm has at OTIP to interview?

TFALAWL · Post by **TFALAWL** » Wed Jul 16, 2014 4:31 pm

In Miami each firm only has one day (Aug 7) of 20 minute interviews from 9 to 5 (w/ a 1 hour lunch). So that's 21 slots.
Also, I think Gunster had a few more, lasting until 6 or something...

Miami OTIP: Just went from pending to alternate at a firm. Does that mean I won't get an interview unless someone decides they don't want it?

I'm top 1/3 and also "only" got 2 hits for LA. That wasn't surprising for me - have you actually looked at the GPA averages for folks hired at most of the LA OTIP firms?

Top 20-25%, strong LA ties
8 bids, 4 pre-selects, 3 alternates

Anonymous User · Post by **Anonymous User** » Thu Jul 17, 2014 4:59 pm

Top 1/3ish, LA ties
7 pre-selects, 3 alternates

Would love to see more data points on this.

Anonymous User · Post by **Anonymous User** » Thu Jul 17, 2014 5:07 pm

Top 25%

just put name in for each city to see what would happen. no ties to any of them. no cover letters

LA: 1 interview. (which is irell. i would love to work for them)
SF: 3 preselects. 4 alternates
Hou: 5 preselects. 1 alternate
Dal: 5 preselects 1 alternate

is it worth going to these places without ties? i wouldnt bid on any of these firms through oci, but i am open to working in these cities. plus im terrified and want a job.

Just declined my interviews in LA; couldn't justify the flight cost. Good luck, guys.

Anonymous User · Post by **Anonymous User** » Thu Jul 17, 2014 11:49 pm

About 10% below median, no journal/moot court.

LA: 3
SF: 1
Dallas: 1

Strong ties to one of these cities.

Whew, just locked in 3/4 of my alternates in SF, and 2/2 of my alternates in LA.

Anyone get that email saying sign ups were open? Strange?

Anonymous User · Post by **Anonymous User** » Sun Jul 20, 2014 1:48 pm

That email confused me too. Doesn't look like signups are actually open at all. I'm going to log in just in case at 12AM EST tonight but I'm sure it was just a mistake email and they'll open as planned at 12PM EST tomorrow.

Managed to snag 2 more interviews despite the website being buggy as heck.

Anonymous User · Post by **Anonymous User** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 12:38 pm

is anyone able to sign up for Hogan Miami? There is nothing indicating what to click to register

Anonymous User · Post by **Anonymous User** » Mon Jul 21, 2014 1:59 pm

fucking pissed, had a meeting at work I could not miss that went over and looks like I missed the boat on Hogan.

Does anybody know the vibe for Sheppard Mullin SF? Screener w/ them tomorrow, trying to see what they are about

How long do you think it takes to get a CB from today's SF event?

A couple of interviewers told me it'll be within a week or two. Firm-dependent, of course, but I think there will be some movement later this week. I also think a lot of firms will wait till after schools' OCI cycles too. Best of luck!

Well LA was chill today I guess. Had 5 screeners, they all went well except I thought that Allen Matkins was awkward. Anyone else have thoughts?

Anonymous User · Post by **Anonymous User** » Wed Aug 06, 2014 6:51 pm

Did anybody find out if Dallas firms are going to move quickly after OTIP today? I heard from one firm that "we will do CB's in early September." Da Fuq?

Anonymous User · Post by **Anonymous User** » Wed Aug 06, 2014 7:26 pm

Jackson Walker told me two weeks for CBs. They said they want to do OCIs first

Dechert PA and SF CB's are going out
