Don't decline a single callback until you get an offer.
Except that fucks over people who haven't received any callbacks yet. I have enough scheduled, including safeties, such that I am not going to strike out. Not declining just reduces the pool size of callbacks available to HLS students.

I will, however, echo the earlier sentiment that this is an asinine process.
been on 9 CBs. no offers

How did you attend 9 CBs already and still make it to any classes? There's been what, 7 business days since the end of EIP?

Which market(s) did you bid on?

The "9 CBs" poster is not a HLS student (or, at least, is but is pretending to also be a student at another school). I would not take that person seriously.

And did you bid only on V10 firms or how did you allocate your bids?

What's the poster's definition of top third?

I also doubt anyone with top 1/3 grades would be completely shut out of the V10.

Top Third = 5H, no LP or DS, all Hs are in 4-credit classes. Bid in Chicago exclusively and had 19 screeners with firms that ran the whole gamut. I know I should have bid on NY too, but it seems that people only talked about how hard DC was going to be and not about other markets.

BTW I know another guy with 5H who struck out applying to DC exclusively.

How the hell does anyone know this? I've seen this consensus develop, but I've seen no basis for it.

Also, I've heard that H in LRW counts as much as H in another 4 credit class as far as firms are concerned.

It's technically just anecdotal evidence, but when you add up enough anecdotal evidence and have a good comparison group (i.e. people with the same grades who bid on New York), it becomes at least a little valid, at least in the absence of a rigorous study... From people I've talked to, it seems like Boston and New York were easy while DC/SF/CHI were hard.

Confirm Sidley Austin DC email ding just now (took long enough)

hey guys,

this is slightly off topic but i'm curious as to how transfer students (from, lets say, a t20 to Harvard) do at Harvard's EIP? Does it matter if the previous school hands out grades as oppossed to H's?

Anonymous User · Post by **Anonymous User** » Wed Sep 08, 2010 7:24 pm

Pissed now.

Haven't been hearing from firms, was curiously hoping. Noticed a stack of envelopes on the floor of the mail room here, and the top one looked like it was from a law firm. Sure enough, it was a stack of letters to me that weren't in my mailbox.

Snail mail dings from Debevoise, Paul Weiss, Irell, and Ropes & Gray, all mailed over a week ago. FML.

Skadden, Dewey & LeBoeuf dings via snail mail. Harvard Law School is a joke, if people with 5H's are striking out then we're all screwed...

There are no WAITLISTS! If you haven't heard by now, it's probably not going to happen for you.

False. People with 5 Hs who struck out must be the absolute tiniest of minorities. At that point, they're either just really bad at interviewing or did not put enough thought into their bidding/choice of market.

Browsing other schools' threads, there doesn't seem to be as big of an issue of students with good grades getting completely shut out. And Yale sounds like heaven in terms of getting callbacks/offers. What's Harvard's problem? It really does suck.

Yale is not heaven . . . by a long shot. Plenty of us got shut out of Wachtell, Williams & Connolly, etc.
