I'm not at HLS, but I got an offer from Akin (NY) a week ago Friday, one day after my CB.

Any news from Akin TX? I get random emails from their recruiting department about "acing the interview" and radio silence on my application.

Did you always get emails from their office? I also interviewed with the Texas office, but have not received any of the emails you describe. Interesting.

We do mock cases, both officially and unofficially. Email me if you or someone you know has my email (best option) or shoot me a PM (slower).

We have both a summer program (that you can split with a firm) and recruit rising 3Ls for full-time positions. We'll even pay for the bar and let you start after you take it. If we called you back from EIP it's because we want you. We don't have an HLS quota or goal like the law firms do, so we get to pick and choose who we want to come in for 1Rs. That said, we don't expect you to say yes if you're a rising 2L in the middle of law firm callbacks. Feel free to reapply next EIP whether because you rejected our callback or didn't get one.
I am interviewing with BCG post EIP screener and would love to ask TripTrip about the process. Will someone please PM me TripTrip's email address? Thank you in advance.
The BCG email convention is lastname.firstname@bcg.com, and triptrip's name can probably be found from his various projects--you should be good to go from there.

Last of 4 CBs (:() tomorrow, no offers yet. Probably because other people have not started making decisions yet, but still. A very frustrating experience. Will begin mass mailing tomorrow, if it isn't too late to do that already.

Which market are you? Some of them move very slowly. I talked to OCS last Friday because I was worried about heading nothing from Boston (after 4 CBs) and they basically told me not to worry at all, that this is typical. In fact, two of the firms expressly told me it'd be at least a week or two.

OP here. Got my first offer not too long ago. Cali. I know that market can take longer, but still. Provides me the motivation that I needed for my final interview!!

I think the best course of action to pursue would be not to interact with friends, especially those competing in the same markets. Some of my friends were also explicitly told it'd be a week or two, only to receive same-day offers. It was a painful experience. While I was happy for them, I kept wondering what I did wrong not to be offered.

Thanks for the feedback. I have 2 California callbacks total and the first is several days away. With below median grades and no regional ties, I'm concerned. :(

Just focus on killing those interviews, my (wo)man! You've already cleared the grade/personality threshold. While grades still mattered, they are investing funds in you for some reason - and that reason is not to provide you with a free ride to California.

I don't understand why this word has not been mentioned more often, but if you are done with CBs or only have one or two left and still have not heard anything and you are worried: massmail!

Is there any history of MM actually turning into an offer?

Got offered a Skadden phone screener off dropping a resume in a hospitality suite. Not naming the office to avoid outing myself in the event that this is uncommon. Surprised this actually works, but apparently it does.

Any Proskauer Boston offer? How long does it notify the post-CB decisions?

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
