When updating application with grades (directly to recruiting director) should I also attach my other application materials?

On another note: I applied to the Skadden program through the online application and now I'm regretting not sending it to a recruiting coordinator :(

Sorry Chimera. Mind sharing the office?

If anything, the auto-dings are better IMO. I assume they have filled the position(s) already and just haven't taken down the posting.

Those are the mock interviews. They won't extend offers from those as they are not actually OCIs.

No, they aren't. They are interviews for 1L SA positions.

I had a V&E/NRF/BB interviewer tell me the same thing, checked with his/her secretary, and confirmed they were the mock interviews. Doubt BB, of all firms, would the only one willing to extend offers at the same time that all other firms are conducting only mocks.

Did you apply to BB? Go back and look at their emails from December if you did. They've been saying for over a month that interviews will be on Jan 21st and that they will be in touch if you've been selected for one.

NRF also said interviews would be mid-Jan but I haven't landed an interview there yet so I don't know the exact date.

Got this email from BB today as well. would like to know if its a mock or not (even though it doesn't explicitly say mock).

If it's anything like what they do every year then those Baker Botts interviews are real, honest to goodness 1L SA interviews. If you're at UT and you didn't get an invite then you're not going to interview with them for a 1L SA.

V&E and Fulbright should be doing the same thing around the same time (my year Fulbright was first, Baker Botts was second, and V&E was third to interview)

Do you know if they (all three firms) interview separately for the different offices or is it just a one shot kind of thing? Also, what kind of luck did you have after the interviews, if you don't mind me asking? I'm trying to figure out my chances of actually landing a SA.

BB and V&E did the same day last year, and interviewed for each individual office. Basically the same as a 2L OCI interview, maybe a little bit softer.
