I'm wondering if this is a symplicity error. Look at the number of available spots, three of them haven't moved at all, surely SOMEONE would've accepted an interview by now.

Weird. They say Mayer Brown (DC) isn't out but I know for a fact the number of slots went from 8 to 7. I guess they added a break or something?

I think we're all making the mistake of assuming that Simplicity is a competent system. Mayer Brown is down to 2 now, but my page says that i was "not invited" to the 3 remaining Chicago firms even though none of them have submitted invitations yet. Guessing that's just Simplicity being shitty

I'm shocked - SHOCKED - that anyone would say such a thing about a well-designed, cutting edge program like Symplicity. /s

I believe pending means a ding only if that firm is listed in the front page announcement as having already completed all of its selections for this year.
