Anyone hear ANYTHING from Fulbright?

Nothing here...getting close to 3 weeks

Anyone else think the Fulbright NY office was a WEIRD place?

The partners I met were extremely personable, the associates less so. The office itself didn't strike me as weird so much as really quiet.

Kilpatrick ding via snail mail.
Done, y'all. Will accept an offer tomorrow and bail on all other possibilities.
Best of luck to everyone!

Exact opposite experience re partners and associates -- but totally agree on the quietness. I noticed the modern Japanese style in the lobby. So maybe it's a Zen thing?

Anyone else on hold by every firm you had a cb with?

Yep. And have been told by some friends inside the firms that it's because "they like you, but they've got too many people sitting on offers."

So... Do you think we will end up with anything?

I know enough 3Ls that have told me they had to wait until Columbus Day or later for their ONE offer to believe that if you have a decent number of callbacks that went well, you have good odds. Some firms have school "quotas," and will have "spots" for schools (not as a rule, but in general practice) especially for the non-T14, so odds are even better for us "second choicers" when those Fordham kids with lots of offers let go of them.

And I think firms are required by NALP to notify you of their decision either way, so if you haven't heard, they're still considering you. Those stock rejection letters/emails aren't hard to send.

I really hope this is true because as of now I have to be setting some sort of record for striking out with my number of callbacks.

I know of at least one other person in the same position as me, but has anyone else heard post-cb from Troutman Sanders?

Anyone hear back from Lerner David or Cooper Dunham?

I had a screener with Cooper 2 weeks ago and still no word. I get the feeling their hiring isn't terribly organized, the guy ask me "soooo, you looking for a summer associate position or something?"

[Anonymous User]

any updates?

Did anyone else have a CB with Cullen and Dykman?

I'm not sure if a request for more documents by Lerner David counts as hearing back?

[Anonymous User]

Anyone else mail firms for updates then get immediate dings after not hearing back since OCI?

[Anonymous User]

everyone out there done hearing one way or another from firms yet or are there some people still waiting?

Just finally got a ding from Bracewell. Still waiting on Fulbright & Jaworski and Bingham post-CB. As well as Mintz (but for a SA position in Boston). With these three firms I'm now @ a month post-CB--I've checked in with them and they all tell me I'm still under consideration, FWIW.
