I have 9 Hs out of 14 with two prizes, no law review, and secondary journal. I'm an average interviewer with 2 years of WE. What's my likelihood of landing a DC firm? I'm most interested in Gibson, Wilmer, Covington, and W&C. Do I have any shot at all? My OCS person is not helpful.

Nope. No chance at all.

Ok, so what does it take?

you realize we have grade data available for all those firms, right?

I had an identical resume. Ended up with an offer from Wilmer, but did not get callbacks from the others. My guess is that you have a shot at all of them.

You're definitely competitive for Covington, Wilmer and Gibson, I'm not sure what that other poster could have meant. W&C probably a stretch.

Why? What happened?

Any news on CBs or anything?

cb for skadden ny went out today

cb for white & case (from resume collect) went out a few days ago, I think

Good luck to everyone in here! Fingers crossed for all y'all.

Any A&P callbacks?

A & P SF callback call today

A&P DC CB.

Skadden and Cooley PA. I don't think either is done.

Do CBs happen over a couple of days or if people got them and you didn't can you assume you're out? Also, are they by phone or over email?

Pretty sure all callbacks are my phone. Previous years I've read they can occur over a few days, even from the same interviewer.

2 CB's today- A & P; Sheppard & Mullin, both SF
1 ding- Skadden (PA)

They may mostly be by phone, but email is definitely a possibility. (Susman's, for example, were apparently by email.)

Anybody know if Gibson DC callbacks are going out by phone or by e-mail?

Perhaps denial but not ruling out by fantastic troll

The nearly simultaneous PA/DC reporting and double "don't remember" and the fact that there's only one of each makes it seem possible, at least?

Gibson LA told me not to start freaking out if a callback doesn't come immediately, as they are planning to make decisions next week. Lies.

I'm filing this next to the Farella entry as Dubious

(i want to believe)

this spreadsheet thing is fucking hilarious and by fucking hilarious I mean what the fuck cadwalader i thought you loved me.

that was the most sociopathic thing a firm has done imho. "We take a long time to determine whom to give callbacks to" *hands out dinner invites on the spot to certain people*
