Is this the (secondary) journal you wanted? It was the one I picked.
Each day that goes by makes me almost hope I don't get LR. It seems like so much work for a somewhat significant boost at OCI, when a.) I want to slack off as much as possible for the next 2 years, and b.) I don't really care what firm I work for as long as they pay market salary to pay off all the debt.

Second choice (after LR) and given my lower-middling grades and lack of effort I put into the edit portion of the competition, I would take that to mean most people should be golden.

Also got the call for JBL, and it was my second choice.

Congrats to both of y'all! It was my 2nd choice as well, so I probably am joining you, considering the zero shits I gave during the writing comp. I was too busy jamming out to my funk playlist.

The funk is its own reward.

Last name initial? They appear to be going alphabetically.

So if we hear from a secondary journal, that means we didn't make LR?

A few of us suspect that JBL is calling so much earlier because the EIC is in the UK this summer - which means the rest probably won't call until after work hours.

To those folks who have already gotten calls, did you have GPAs higher than 3.6?
