You should make weeks 8-9 and 10-11 be separate, especially since they are going to be the most common choices.

My understanding is that programs are overwhelmingly 8, 10, or 12 weeks. Is this wrong?Sup Kid wrote:You should make weeks 8-9 and 10-11 be separate, especially since they are going to be the most common choices.

Just as a comment, I know some programs (like mine) don't have a specific length, but rather just have a maximum and minimum between which you can work however much you want (8-12 for me).

Does anyone know the possibility of extending past 10 wks once you are there? Or is this entirely firm dependent?

ITE most firms have a hard cap on the number of weeks you can work, and from what I've heard, 10 seems to be the max at most places the past few years.Anonymous User wrote:Does anyone know the possibility of extending past 10 wks once you are there? Or is this entirely firm dependent?

entirely firm dependent (see Chuck Bass above), but they would tell you in advance if you had such an opportunity.Anonymous User wrote:Does anyone know the possibility of extending past 10 wks once you are there? Or is this entirely firm dependent?
In other news, how many people are being offered advances (besides Wachtell)?

S&C offers an advance. And mine's probably going to a shiny new MacBook Pro

How much are these advances (like 1 week salary?), and how/when are they normally paid?Anonymous User wrote:Debevoise is offering an advance

Irell and Munger, at least historically, would let you stay as long as you wanted / could. May have been cut back some lately.Crim wrote:Which firm has a 14-week program?

DPW. I can't imagine firms not giving advances though.
