also got a 3L interview with BDS

I got dinged from BDS as a 3L. Hopefully not the same group of people get every PD interview. That is what kind of sucks about pre-select.

Just wondering if people wouldn't mind sort of sharing stats who got BDS? I just go to a T1 school but have a pretty dang solid PD resume (I know this will be true for almost all of us). I was dinged. Are y'all more t14 (or close to it).

Second interview offer at NHPD. 2L. Looks like they're moving faster than last year.

NH Ding :/ I had no connection and was pretty positive I did not make the grad cut off.
So far
Ding: BDS & NH
Accept: Clark Co.

Anonymous User · Post by **Anonymous User** » Wed Sep 23, 2015 9:31 am

to the anon above, is NH known to have a grade cut-off?

"Criminal courses required. Top 30% ranking preferred. Moot Court and clinicals with client representation preferred. Resumes without transcripts will not be considered." -From EJW Staff Atty description, and it has been talked about a lot over the years.

3L USAF JAG ding. I only applied out of panic, and my resume screams PD.

If you look at the organizations' pages on EJW (I think you have to the organization and then the position) there is "openings: " listed. BDS's says 8. Does anyone know if this is the actual number the organizations plan on hiring?

Last year employers were still making decisions wayyyy beyond the deadline. Really sucks for those of us flying from the west coast (airfare/hotel reservations, etc.)
