Have a CB coming up and had a couple questions if anyone could help me out.

I noticed the CB is only 2.5 hours this time, whereas when I did a 1L CB it was 6 hours. Is this going to be a noticeably different format? Is this CB more of a formality since they already met me earlier this year?

Does anyone know what the timeline for offers usually is?

Thanks

I don't have Weil specific knowledge, but if they are making rolling decisions (something you should definitely ask the recruiter if they haven't told you) you could hear back very soon. I know of another NY V15 that had a 3 day turnaround on CB->Offer in a similar situation as this.

How did you get a CB already? Mass mail? Is top 20% at lower T14 competitive for something like this?

I have personal knowledge/experience. If you did the 1L callback with them, don't expect a markedly different experience. If you didn't, (and I'm pretty sure you didn't, because they're not usually that long) their cbs are like most other firms--successive interviews + lunch. It's possible that the 2.5 hours did not factor in lunch, in which case the total time would likely be 3.5 hours.

Turnaround time might be a bit longer because it's so early. Max 2 weeks.

I did do a 1L CB, its why I have this early CB (also answer to previous anon, and I am about top 20% at lower T14 myself). It might have been closer to 5 hours (5 attorney interviews, lunch and closing interview with recruiting), but it seems the biggest difference is there is no lunch scheduled this time. Thank you for the turnaround info, appreciate it!

Anyone get an offer yet?

not at weil, but had an early cb at another ny firm. got the impression it will be a bit longer from them, but since its early everywhere, might be the case here. if i was them, i would also wait until they saw the oci candidates. although i dont want to admit that.

I may be heading there next week, so I can report back as well once I hear more

I haven't heard anything back yet. Does anyone know how many people they interviewed pre-OCI?

Interesting. I thought those early interviews were only for people who interviewed for their 1L summer program.

They said it was a mix of ppl being invited back from 1L SA CBs and ppl that massmailed them from schools that they weren't going to OCI for.

Same here. I hope we get those soon.

Got a callback from Weil with several options for dates/times. One day had morning interviews with a lunch, or there were three dates in the evening with a cocktail reception after. Is there an advantage to any of them? I had to rank my preferences, so I just ordered them in chronological order, figuring that the earlier I get in the better.

Anyone know much about Weil's CB--> offer rate?

Just correction: UT had a job fair in NY, and Weil was one of the interviewers. Got a CB from them the next day, and will likely go up for it after UT's OCI next week.

Got an offer today. Thank GOD!!!! Wish you all the best luck.

anyone been dinged? it's been two weeks since i interviewed and i'm expecting the worst...

I would email them at this point (2 weeks is appropriate). It may be a ding, but force their hand. Tell them you can come in again and meet more attns if it will help them w/ their decision. if they're gonna ding you, they'll do it right then and get it over with.

Got a cb today. Can anyone tell me a little what their cb was like?
