Has anyone heard back from:

Linklaters NY
Shearman NY
Latham NY
Gibson NY

Positive news from Cooley, Simpson, Latham, Gibson. Silence from Covington.

When did you interview and hear back from those firms? NYC offices?

Ding from Weil NYC with a 3.55 and what I thought was a good interview. This year is tough, everyone take care of yourselves.

I have no inside info, but I’m guessing a combo of COVID making firms hire smaller class sizes as well as people accepting mostly every callback they are offered because of the ease of remote interviewing compared to traveling for those interviews.

I got dinged from Weil with a 3.8. Don't think there's many slots left at most of these firms.

Its definitely a shitshow out there but I got a cb w/ a 3.6. But definitely agree that GULC holding OCI a full week after the rest of T-14 was a moronic idea. Everyone associate I speak to is like wtf is your OCI so late.

I don't think that's true -- firms are slammed with work (at least in corporate). I think zoom interviewing has completely changed the calculus. The cost of interviewing has gone to 0. Recruiting season will basically extend from now until May.

They may not think you're a serious candidate. Yield rate is basically 100p nowadays. May not be worth the additional effort

I'm the OP and sending you both positive vibes. This year is so rough. Congrats on the callback- I hope you get it

Can someone please break the string of dings??? I'm so disappointed in the school holding interviews so late

Some Paul Hastings DC callbacks went out last week, I think the day after screeners. There's some info on it a few pages back.

Agree 100%. The other issue I’m running into is that even for the firms where I get CBs, the lateness of OCI means all of the interview slots for this week and next have already been filled. For one CB, I have to wait two weeks to do my CB, which probably means there won’t be any slots left.

Yield rate is nowhere near 100p. Friends at HYS and CCN rejected offers and cancelled CBs last week
