It's a formalityAnonymous User wrote: ↑Tue Jun 21, 2022 12:06 amCrap. Are they actually selective on ug grades, or is it more of a formality? I'm well within their range based on my 1L grades but I'll be annoyed if my poor performance freshman year once again murked me for somethingAnonymous User wrote: ↑Mon Jun 20, 2022 9:01 amno they ask for OCI tooAnonymous User wrote: ↑Sun Jun 19, 2022 8:35 pmJust noticed Cravath asks for undergrad transcripts. My ug GPA is... fine? Not good (especially not good for my law school, where I'm about 0.2 below out 25th), but emphatically fine especially given my known-for-deflation ug. Does having a mediocre uGPA screw me with CSM pre-OCI? Should I wait for OCI for them?

I had a Kirkland screener late last week, when should I take a failure to hear back as a dong?

As a datapoint, STB NY offer this week after a callback last week! I’m somewhere slightly above median at a T-14.

Re: 2022 Pre-OCI Megathread
Does anyone know how to proceed if the offer extended is gonna expire in mid-July? I thought the industry practice is 14 days after OCI, and mid-July is too early for me to hear back from my other screener results...

Milbank requested my updated transcript on Friday. Resume drop was about a month ago.
Not at a T14.

Re: 2022 Pre-OCI Megathread
contact your career counseling office. many schools have requirements that firms participating in OCI hold offers open til after OCI. ask the firm for an extension due to wanting to participate in OCI.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Tue Jun 21, 2022 5:39 pmDoes anyone know how to proceed if the offer extended is gonna expire in mid-July?

Re: 2022 Pre-OCI Megathread
Per my T14, they ask firms to follow this policy, but they have no means of enforcing it. This year especially firms know there's a surplus of candidates and are acting accordingly.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Tue Jun 21, 2022 6:58 pmcontact your career counseling office. many schools have requirements that firms participating in OCI hold offers open til after OCI. ask the firm for an extension due to wanting to participate in OCI.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Tue Jun 21, 2022 5:39 pmDoes anyone know how to proceed if the offer extended is gonna expire in mid-July?

Re: 2022 Pre-OCI Megathread
Sorry if this is a dumb question but when a firm asks for practice area preferences does that just mean write a cover letter? Or do I just include my practice area preference in the body of the email?

I had my callback on Wednesday. I wouldn’t stress regardless of when yours was, though — they had told me it would likely be a week or two before I heard anything.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Wed Jun 22, 2022 10:11 amWhen was your callback?

Re: 2022 Pre-OCI Megathread
I am under the impression that would go in the email. I would put it in a cover letter if they ask for one separately, but I'm pretty sure that is not a request for a cover letter.Anonymous User wrote: ↑Wed Jun 22, 2022 10:17 amSorry if this is a dumb question but when a firm asks for practice area preferences does that just mean write a cover letter?

Re: 2022 Pre-OCI Megathread
Received a screener at Latham and Kirkland in the Bay Area. I do not go to a top school, so not sure how this all works. If anyone can help me with these two questions, it would be much appreciated.
1) Of course you need the screener before the callback, but assuming I am a competent interviewer, how good of a sign is a screener? DO they hand them out liberally, or does it mean I have a good shot?
2) What is the typical turnaround time from a screener to a callback?
