Question: other than NALP, are there any other sites that list smaller firms?

Unrelated: can you tell me when you applied to jud internship and school ranking + diversity info.?
I applied via mail a few weeks ago and T14. Not diversity.

Edit: Alright, issue averted. things are fine.

In applying to Diversity Programs for 1L Summer, should the essay be in the same vein as our personal statements, a diversity statement, or something completely different?
I structured mine in the same way as a cover letter.
great, that helps. thanks! :]

Email from v100, v50, v20 requesting grades
Email from inhouse requesting grades
0 grades back yet
I'm not sure what I'll do once I end up below median and have to deal with the flurry of rejections.

CCN non-diverse. Unique but not amazing work experience.

Had interviews with Shook Hardy and Husch in KC, and an upcoming interview at Lathrop Gage. Anyone else interview with these firms or hear anything back yet?

In a similar dilemma with a V5, V40 and V50.

I'm hoping to mitigate the potential of bad grades by making an impression during my in-person CBs. Grades should be out immediately thereafter. Overall, I'm pretty happy with these responses given that I've sent out ~10 V50 apps.

Got a Cooley CB in NYC but haven't heard a peep from my other applications. It's a strange new world, this law firm process.

Congrats!! Was this before or after you sent in grades? Also, what was the approximate wait time between your phone interview and CB?

Seems like legal hiring has really picked up across the board if there's this much firm action for 1Ls

are you worried that this will make your 1L SA less prestigious in the long run?

Seriously? What are you waiting for?

Now there's a charge.
