Re: Berkeley OCIP
Day 1 is over, How did everyone feel it went?
Personally, I had 3 interviews. I thought they all went pretty well. Surprised not as many people took advantage of the hospitality suites.

Re: Berkeley OCIP
I had two interviews, and I feel happy with how they went.
I also found out I have an offer today, so it takes the pressure off, especially for someone in P-ville. (IP person)

Re: Berkeley OCIP
What hospitality suites? Sidley and Crowell? Those are the only two ones I found - I've already been dinged by Crowell - so no point going there - I stopped by Sidley, but there were no attorneys there, just a few students.
On an unrelated note, I think its awesome that Hotel Durant is THIS close to Boalt Hall, makes it very very convenient.

Not IP people. I know some are LR, but not sure about the others.Anonymous User wrote:Are these people IP/LR? Seems unlikely to get an offer without at least IP or LR.Anonymous User wrote:Just wanted to note that people with all Ps *have* gotten offers in biglaw, both last year and this year (for people who interviewed early outside of OCIP in other locations). It is not impossible. In fact, biglaw is a serious reality for people with all Ps who take the initiative to interview outside of OCIP. I'd say PM me for specifics, but I am remaining anonymous.

Re: Berkeley OCIP
Did people get fewer interviews for phase 2? I only got 8...I'm happy with the ones I got but I'm not sure if my bidding strategy was worse or if it's just b/c there were fewer employers

Re: Berkeley OCIP
Sidley LA. If you look on nuts and boalts, all the info is in the callback thread there.
Also, Crowell & Moring SF, Wilson Sonsini Palo Alto, and MoFo SF, as well as a bunch of random pre-OCIP callbacks.

Re: Berkeley OCIP
^ this.
Also, what's been the turnaround? The callbacks I have received have come insanely fast (< 24 hours). Kind of makes me loose confidence in my offer prospects, because it seems like a one-person decision if its that fast.

3 H/3 P + LR + WE = 1 callback + 1 ding + lots of waiting to hear from firms who have called back others already.

Re: Berkeley OCIP
Well this will kind of out me but whatever: t4 transfer, top 3% at old school, no significant WE, joined a secondary journal, not a social retard, and not impressive UG.

Why do you think some transfer students are doing really well and others less so?

Transfer here also. T2 Top 3%. I'm pretty outgoing and personable. No call backs yet. Have you heard of any transfers getting call backs yet? From what I've heard, none have.

Re: Berkeley OCIP
They probably come from schools interviewers have heard of?
It is still early so all hope is far from being lost. In fact, I am predicting a callback to come in tomorrow (staying positive). However, one interviewer straight up told me it would be a miracle to get me past the hiring committee because of my old school. Such is life.
Just saw new post: I know of a few transfers with callbacks

I was misreading this earlier post. I thought they were talking about callbacks. Obviously they must have been talking about interviews.Anonymous User wrote:transfer, got 10 of my top 11
