I heard back and they are asking for letters of recommendation and a law school transcript.
Any idea how many positions are available or how many people made it to this point in the process? Basically, how excited should I be?

Re: AUSA Northern District of Illinois?
So I don't have any specific info about this particular spot. But, from looking at the Vacancy Announcement and knowing that N.D. Ill. covers Chicago, I'm going to guess that it is roughly similar to hiring in C.D. Cal. and S.D. N.Y. In those districts, they typically call in a large number of individuals to do a first round interview. And the reality is that they may not know in advance how many spots they intend to hire for. They might have an initial thought, but as more funding becomes available or as current AUSAs leave the office, they may anticipate more. These general openings are often made to just start a huge cull of resumes so they are prepared to hire as soon as they have a spot open.
So you should definitely be excited; they've decided your resume fits the bill for the office. But don't think it's anything close to a lock. The yield isn't incredibly high from the first round and it all depends on how many spots they actually end up having.
And, if you don't mind, I'd love a PM to find out about your background (trying to get an idea of what people make the initial cut).
