I underperformed my numbers (top 1/3, although I did have some interviewing problems), I know people on LR that struck out, and people on LR with 1 offer.

Re: USC / UCLA OCI 2012
I got my snail mail ding after screener long ago. But at this point if you didn't get a callback after a screener, they prob forgot or it got lost in the mail.chimp wrote:I haven't heard back from Sheppard Mullin LA since the screener. Fucking weird.
I emailed two firms, which didn't get back to me after screener, that I wanted to see if I can get a callback interview with before I accept another firm's offer. Got email rejections within the hour.

It's definitely not over yet -- I know of at least three USC students who have gotten CBs over the last two weeks. Keep at it!

Re: USC / UCLA OCI 2012
There are plenty of firms that are still looking. Keep mass mailing. Also, apply to firms in secondary markets where you have ties. I got a few CBs this way. Don't focus solely on LA if you can avoid it. The LA market is competitive as fuck.Anonymous User wrote:Hmm, that's encouraging, I guess.Anonymous User wrote:It's definitely not over yet -- I know of at least three USC students who have gotten CBs over the last two weeks.

True. I have decent ties to the bay and haven't been able to land a single interview there via mass mailing thus far.Lasers wrote:well my secondary is SF...which is probably in far worse shape than LA.Anonymous User wrote:There are plenty of firms that are still looking.

Venable and Mayer Brown have interviewed people from resume books within the last week. Make sure you're signed up for all of the resume books. If you have a high GPA or Law Review or both, you should be a much rarer commodity at this point. If I hear of any more interviews being handed out I'll come back and post them. Good luck!Anonymous User wrote:I wish I knew which firms these were that were still looking.

Pisses me off that some OCI firms don't respond at all after the screening interview. Shitty etiquette.

Were any USC people contacted by Akin Gump from their resume collect posting on symplicity?
