IP or not, continue mailing firms until you have an offer. Don't rely on EIW. So long as you are at least medianish, you will almost assuredly get a few CBs that way. If you are IP, then lower, significantly sub-median GPAs may also suffice (for PROSECUTION positions, that is).

This mass-mailing idea does not work very well for GTers except strong tie to the location you are mass-mailing to.

I asked a few recruitment coordinators during the EIW at the hospitality suites about how they deal with the application emails. None of them even bother reading your cover letter, they go down to your GPA and run a GPA cutoff. So if your GPA is lower than top 1/3 or even top 15%, you stands no chance to be picked up.

As to mass-mailing, if no 1/3 GPA, strong tie to the area, or some special background (e.g., IP), do not even bother doing it.

LOL WTF are you talking about? Firms ALL advertise top 1/3 "cutoffs" for T14 schools to make themselves seem desirable/exclusive; stop drinking their self-aggrandizing kool aid. If you are mass mailing to NY, MANY firms will give you CBs at median (but do it quickly before their classes fill up); I know this from experience. For secondary markets, obviously you need ties, but ties are quite easily manufactured.

Yup, but I suspect most of us will.

Calm down, people!
Anyway, question here, do you guys schedule your CBs only on the dates you don't have class or the earliest date possible?

Usually earliest date possible, in case offers are rolling.

I'm missing the entire first week of class... I vaguely recall reading (maybe in the eiw info packet?) that we aren't allowed to skip classes for interviews. But eff that

Got this too. Also got dinged by Knobbe (SV/SD); did anyone actually receive callbacks from them? Or did they pretty much just waste Georgetown's time?

[Anonymous User]

One thing to keep in mind people - as individuals start getting callbacks or offers, they probably stop checking TLS as much. Don't despair, keep your chin up - you WILL get employed, you WILL get a great opportunity, you ARE a special magical unicorn-fighter-jet combination!
