What umbrella? Was this in the OCI rooms?

OCI swag power rankings:

1. KE umbrella
2. Paul Hastings laser pointer
3. Mayer Brown grammaphone thing

Paul Hastings also had that nice game thingy. I am looking for a second one, too risky to bring it apart and then put it back together without a model. In terms of quantity, Goodwin wins it for me.

i think they were only handed out by the interviewers. i saw some people get badass deflatable water bottles instead of umbrellas because they ran out of umbrellas or something.

by the way, kirkland interview probably the fastest i've ever spoken in my life. at least i got an umbrella.

I guess, sorry--someone asked so I reported...not sure what else to say...guess firms really mean it when they say they are looking at more than GPA...good luck with presidents office

anon with the zero response from OCI here.
i for one appreciate any news. people are too quick to yell flame. if you were able to get all these callbacks with that gpa, then there's hope for me. still crossing my fingers. so thanks for reporting.

It's not that I am unhappy for that person or anything, its just that it is statistically so unlikely that dozens of us on this forum with better metrics have heard nothing but silence but a single random person with lower scores has secured more CBs than everyone else combined, including from firms notoriously GPA focused. Not impossible, just statistically more likely to be BS.

I really do want to know, for all our benefit, is there something unique? Do you fit a diversity criteria or something that would give you a one over, have you been blackmailing people, or are you just an awesome person?

Seriously, if all that is true and there is none of the aforementioned justification for it, you should go buy yourself a nice steak dinner and a trophy because you just won Law School OCI.

It's a little sad that people here can't just be happy for our fellow classmates who are having success during OCI. I understand it's a defense mechanism for people who maybe aren't doing as well as they'd hoped, but for the record, jumping to asking someone whether they are "diverse" because they've done better than you is TACKY and presumptive. Additionally, it shows that you assume you know it all-- exactly what criteria firms use, what a person's soft qualifications may be, etc. Consider that maybe firms aren't giving you as many callbacks because your attitude sucks.

Damn, I forgot about swag. Now I am mad I blew off OCI.

[D-hops]

I am PISSED I didn't get an umbrella. I'm going to have to finagle one somehow.

Anyone get a callback from Fenwick & West or know someone who got a callback from them?

This thread has confirmed my suspicions that the rising 2Ls have a bunch of crazies.

I retaliate against that conundrum and would prefer you to bacon umbrellas if it pleases the king of the color blue and letters 7 and igneous.

it seems like a darn good umbrella too. has one of those auto deploy buttons. i also have enough bad headphones to last me a lifetime, but at least they were free.

Yeah. Real friends are happy for each other.

Plus it's super tacky to wonder why someone with atypical results has atypical results. Anyone who would ponder that is probably a terrible person and interviewer.

I have a feeling you might have missed a bit of sarcasm in that post...

Or maybe they think the internet is full of liars and trolls but I don't know why.



Personally, I'm a terrible person and interviewer for far more enjoyable reasons.

[Remnantofisrael]

Seriously, though, 90% of this is my fault because I stirred the pot initially- I swear on the ghost of Learned Hand that I really was just trying to mess around - so for the sake of going back to talking about potential abortions etc. can we all just blame me, call me a jerk with no class and move on?

Can we please get back to data-sharing about callbacks, dings, etc? Please?

[Anonymous User]

Someone asked, so here it goes:

SullCrom
New York
CB
Phone

i'm going to run and cry now. (but congrats!)

Has anyone heard from WilmerHale NYC? SullCrom dings? (I saw there was a SullCrom CB)

Anon w/CB here. I literally posted like 5 minutes after I got the CB (normally would wait) because I didn't think I would be in front of a computer for a while. I hope I didn't stress anyone out for no reason.

PM me.

Why so secretive? Just let everyone know what you know. Change names to protect the innocent if you have to.

Jones Day Chi cb via phone (not going to give more details at this time, but more calls could definitely still be going out).
