I sent CL/resume to 58 firms in 3 markets. FWIW, I'm IP.
I've sent out ~50 applications to three markets over the last two weeks. I'm URM/T14/good grades, but shit--I've heard nothing but radio silence.
I think I'm done applying. If I can't get land an interview with 50+ apps pending across three markets, there has to be something critically wrong with my CL or I'm just way late to the party. Either way, it's time to focus on school again, I guess.
All my emails were sent on Dec 1st and most of whatever action I saw was prior to the new year.
well then. fuck.

But there were others that told me to come back w/ grades, which have yet to be released for me. So it definitely varies by firm on what their timeline is like.

Does anyone know how to get the firms emails? Everyone is talking about mail mergers and cold emailing to all these firms, but none of the sites really even have their email address posted anywhere....Am I missing something?

Most firms either have a "Jobs" or "Careers" Link. From there, there should be information regarding the recruiting contact for whichever office you want to apply to. If not, there's usually recruiting contact information on NALPDirectory.Com, although it's unclear how current/accurate the information really is.
If there's no link to apply directly online and you can't find the recruiting contact's name/email, you can always call the firm and ask. I don't know if this is TCR to your question, but that's what I have been doing.

T25, non-URM, IP. I sent ~50 apps as well. Most were on Dec. 1 or within a few days of it. Received a few interview requests by Mid Dec and a few more in the last week or so. So far all screening interviews have led to CBs.

If one were so lucky to receive a 1L SA offer, is there any scenario where a non-SA job (public interest type) would be beneficial in the long run?
I apologize for that shitty question in advance.

It was not really answered above but is it possible for a firm to rescind their offer because my grades are below median? At a T14 if that helps.

Has anyone every known or heard of somebody in the bottom third of their T14 class securing a market paying 1L SA? Even if diversity or IP?

How long does one generally need to wait to hear back from a firm after callback?
