BADCF veteran here. Yes, the rooms are on different floors. No, they do not end on time, by early afternoon everyone is running behind, but you're still nervous about being "late" for the next interview.

I was just checking my interview schedule and I had 10 preselects already scheduled for interviews previously (I don't remember when was the last time I checked on it but I certainly checked it the day alternates went out!), but now their website only shows 4 interviews!!! And I never cancelled any of my interviews! I have emailed them of course and hopefully it's just a technical glitch but has this happened to anyone else? Or am I somehow the only one?

Something very weird is going on because now I have 5 instead of the 4 I had last night! Still missing 5 though. At this point, I am certain that they are having technical difficulties, so I wouldn't worry about it besides just emailing them and letting them know.

SO glad Im not the only person having this problem! I think it might be alphabetical too because last night I only had 1 (out of my 10) interviews listed and it was a firm that begins with "C", today I have 4 and they are all firms at the beginning of the alphabet. According to the email we got a few weeks ago with the logistics of the fair our "FINAL" schedules will be available Monday the 18th- so maybe this is just them finalizing everything and its posting final room #s as they go?

so does anybody notice that most of the firms have 0 anticipated slots for 2Ls? Is this accurate? Seems kind of weird they would force some associate to waste their Saturday interviewing a bunch of people they aren't ever going to hire.

ETA: I just realized this may mean slots available for screeners.

+1 Without firm names this information is hardly helpful to anybody!
