Akin Gump Pro Bono Scholars
Anybody apply to this and hear anything? If so, if you could post your very general stats/office you applied to, thought we could have a thread going. Didn't see any from this year, but there are some from past years here. Trying to get a sense of how many apply, how many interview, how many get a callback.
My sense from past threads and from their information is the deadline was last week, many people interview, each office has 5-10 callbacks for 1-4 positions.

Anyone applying this year and have any updates? I applied to the Dallas office about two weeks ago and haven't heard anything since. Would love to hear about the application process from everyone else

Re: Akin Gump Pro Bono Scholars
I applied a couple days ago. I met with Steve Schulman when he was here at my school and I thought it went well, but waiting to see if anything comes of it. Really keeping my fingers crossed. How long after you submitted your app did you hear back about the interview?
