Eh, if you interviewed exclusively with V 75-100, then I suppose you just might!rcb5142 wrote:i'm expecting 21 ... might get more

A number of them might be waiting to rule on you until after they see some school's OCI crop. Give it until September at least.

Re: firms that don't have the decency to send a rejection letter
I don't think any firms fail to send rejection letters to candidates they interviewed. Some are slower than others, but I haven't heard of anybody just not being dinged.

Maybe if you're lucky you'll be put on their waitlist. You'd better hope it's their secret priority waitlist, though, and not the standard waitlist that is more like a soft rejection.

To answer the OP's question: Jones Day and WilmerHale will sometimes not bother to even send you a rejection letter.

I think at least JD SF has been pretty good about sending out rejection letters this year- probably they need to reject too many people for their Bay Area offices anyways.Anonymous User wrote:those uncaring bastardsAnonymous User wrote:To answer the OP's question: Jones Day and WilmerHale will sometimes not bother to even send you a rejection letter.

How about Perkins Coie? Anyone know if they send out rejection letters?

Re: firms that don't have the decency to send a rejection letter
I was just fooling around. If I were to get even half of that then not only would I be ecstatic, but half of them probably would not be V100 CBs. My school doesn't have a whole lot of the Vault firms coming to campus, so I'm hoping for maybe 4 V100 CBs to give myself a solid chance. 1 V75 and 1 V50 CB so far and a bunch more screeners to go so Im on track for my own goal.dresden doll wrote:Sounds ambitious for T25.rcb5142 wrote:i'm expecting 21 ... might get more

3L here. Baker McKenzie never bothered to send me a rejection letter last year. Either that or it got lost in the mail.
