Top Law Schools

We get the schedules on Monday so I thought we could get a thread going. Is everyone pissed off about the misleading email this morning?

do you happen to know if one misses the deadline, if he/she can somehow squeeze in?
i ask this b/c i am a potential transfer, and it was impossible for me to make the deadline (i was accepted after the date).

what email?

15 interviews. Got top 2 on each day - top 6 on Tuesday. Got #17 on Wednesday.

12 interviews

got all the ones I really wanted but a little disappointed with the low number

I swear you're me.

12 in NYC, most of my top picks, but 2-3 I wish I'd gotten.

Disappointed in the low number.

13 out of the 17 I tried for at AJF. Got the ones I wanted so I am happy.

Also 3 out of 5 for dc job fair (the 3 I wanted)

12 is a low number? What's the percentage at Cornell for lotto/pre-select?

I'm almost positive that UVA is the only t14 that uses any sort of pre-select.

current 0L wondering how many employers are scheduled and how that compares to years prior?

You might be able to pick a few up if the firms still have interview slots open (we can pick them up, starting Wednesday, if we're quick about it). Also, the sign-ups for the on-campus interviews aren't until August 1, so you can probably get a few there.

EDIT: meant to add -- if you're concerned about this, email the Career Services Office. I'm sure they'll let you know the best plan.

100% lotto

15 interviews, got at least my top two picks on each day and two reaches (that I may not have the grades for) that I had bid 5th and 6th on their days.

16 here. Didn't get my first pick (Weil) one day.
Didn't get my 2nd pick another.

Still, very happy with the number and the selections.

15. Very pleased. Yay lottery.

Yeah, I had Weil as #1 and didn't get it either.

They must have been slammed with people or something.

16 interviews. All of my top 3 picks, save one. I'm pretty happy with the lottery.

17 interviews, but only 5/9 "top 3" picks. also victim to the weil as #1 shitshow.

FWIW, I had Weil at #1 and *did* get an interview. Sincerely sorry to hear for those who didn't.

16 interviews. All my top picks except day three where I got my #8 and struck out on getting Weil despite ranking it #1 (just like everyone else, it seems).

Ya my guess is that since Weil was in the "moderate" group yet is a V10 firm a lot of people who likely don't have the grades for the firm still bid. This was probably exacerbated by our new ridiculous curve.

new ridiculous curve? do tell

prior to this year median was a 3.35. now, median is still a "3.35", but professors have the discretion to grade anywhere between a 3.25 and a 3.5.
Cornell only releases top 10% cutoffs, but in the past few years, the 2 semester cutoff for top 10% has ranged from a 3.68-3.73. This year it is a 3.81.

Still, Cornell sent out OCI information stating that firms were "very grade selective" in the past is they hired "those with a 3.65 or above". Unfortunately, that number means nothing because we have no idea how it relates to our grades this year. I am sure some students used these numbers and overreached with their bids.
