Did anyone get an email from Sidley? Is this legit or is someone trying to steal our information? If you received the email, would you email them back to withdraw or just not do anything? (Why would they ask for all that information?)

I already accepted with another firm, and I didn't even realize I was under consideration at SA, considering I didn't interview with them at OCI. (I did a resume drop.)

The race questionnaire? Yeah. Fill it out or don't, not really relevant, as it's for all applicants. They're probably just a little late sending them out.

Heavily dependent on market choice and personality/teh interviewing skillz.

And accurate, in that about half are totally boned and half are snatching victory from the "jaws" of defeat.

Considering someone at Cornell said they felt like they were the only person at median who didn't get a job at OCI I don't think I'm trolling. It's a fair question. Clearly a number of people at Cornell who were at the median got offers. One poster said about half at median got offers. Is that a fair summary?

How can anyone possibly tell you without complete data from career services? People can only offer anecdotes or data from an unrepresentative sampling of people they know.

I take from this that MVP top 25% bidding on NYC should feel fairly safe.

True?

[IrwinM.Fletcher]

After reading through the first seven pages of this thing I'm scared shitless. Motivation, l suppose.

Why bump? We really should start a 2011 thread.

[OnceUponAMemo]

Agreed with above poster. Just bumped for reference points that I thought people would enjoy.

BruceWayne was right IMO. A lot of this TLS mentality is bull crap.

Also, I miss kaurma. I enjoyed his/her posts back in the day. IDK wtf happened to this thread.
