Got an email from a firm I interviewed with last week. Thought it was a ding.
It wasn't a ding but an email reminding me to send in my transcript.
Back to waiting for grades.

About how many firms has everyone applied to?

[Anonymous User]

Heard back from a judicial internship I applied to. Was told to send in my law school transcript for review. Is that generally a good sign or do they contact every applicant to request for a transcript?

Has anyone heard from Cleary's diversity program?

Has anyone heard from Cleary's diversity program?

No, I haven't even received an email confirmation that they received my application.

Oh ok well since it's you that makes me feel better. I'm guessing these places are just waiting until the deadlines, which makes sense.

for firms with diversity programs, i'm only applying through the program, as opposed to sending a regular app and a diversity app
is that what other people are doing

That's what I'm doing at least.

Yes. I know for Weil, when you submit a diversity app, you're automatically considered for a regular SA position as well.

I sent out 30 firm apps so far. I don't know if should continue with this, or start applying for in-house positions.

Does anyone have any information on the kinds of questions that come up on a diversity interview? Is there a thread somewhere?

I had one diversity and one non-diversity SA interview, and they are not much different.

For Cooley, apparently they only have four openings across all offices, and they are actively interviewing people now.
