Anyone have CB/Offer from DPW yet?

On the same boat here

Also interviewed this week, heard on Friday.

Ah, please tell me that you had your CB on Tuesday..mine was on Wednesday

Feel free to PM me.

Function disabled for some reason. I think we all just want to know when you had your interview. It looks like the Wednesday batch has not heard back yet, but if you did Wednesday, that changes things...

I guess it's Wednesday...

Also interviewed Wednesday at DPW and haven't heard, but I really don't think it's necessarily a ding. Sometimes people who interview on the same day hear back at wildly different times (check past pre-OCI forums), and it's early in the season, and there's a pandemic going on... we'll only know for sure when we get the call/email.

Ok I agree. I mean unless the Wednesday batch just collectively bombed their respective interview, I think the fact that none of us have heard back probably means they just haven't notified the Wednesday people one way or the other.

Doesn't DPW normally have around a 25% callback --> offer rate? Why do they do this?

Do we know if there's any early movement for Cravath?

Has anyone heard back after a MoFo NY screener?

I'm sorry to be bearer of bad news... I do have a friend who interviewed Wednesday and heard Friday. Just trying to offer accurate information.

Do ppl think that firms' classes in this round of upcoming OCI are going to be smaller than usual? (on the average)

Bump on this question. Anyone care to speculate? Will the prospect of vaccine deployment — which should hopefully feel a bit more tangibly "close by" when January OCI rolls around — supercharge firms' hiring plans with positive animal spirits?

Does it mean that DPW gives out 1 offer out of 4 CBs on average?

Callback with Houston firm (V&E/Kirkland/Latham) late last week. No screener (straight to callback). Above median at T14. Haven't heard back yet. For Texas firms I've heard the following: NRF will begin reviewing applications December 1st and Baker Botts is sticking to OCI timeline.

So just got curious, if you dont hear back till oci from the firm you had pre-oci CB, is it worth doing oci with that firm?

[Anonymous User]

Anyone heard anything about Chicago. Previous posters have mentioned K&E giving offers to 1L summers and McDermott offering. Any other movement that folks have heard of?

Offer from a top Houston firm (think VE/BB/KE/LW) a couple weeks ago. Callback in the morning and heard back later that day. Around top 10% at T14.

Do we know anything about Chicago firms? Other than K&E and McDermott, any other firm moving at this point?

I am sorry. You were all asking. But, see the comments above, that people don't seem to think not getting an offer the first week is a ding, even if others from your day are.

Thanks for the update - I'm so sad (((

I want to send a GIF to all these law firms- "Hey I just met you, this is crazy, but here is my number. So call me maybe"

Do we know if there's any early movement for Cravath?

FWIW, earlier in the fall, a Cravath recruiter told me (at T6) to wait until January OCI. But that's probably just the answer they give to schlubs.

Looking at data for my T14 OCI, the CB-->offer rate is closer to 50%
