Also just received interview request.
Last year, the first round of admits went out 7/8, I believe.
Edit: top 1% t20

Oh boy. No interview request. Probably not a good sign.

Would anyone that had an interview during the ED cycle mind sharing what the interview focused on and the kinds of questions asked?

My application did not go complete until June 20th. My spring grades weren't even in till June 11th and LSAC had to process the transcript. I still am missing class rank but my school sent the letter without the ranking. I am currently under review. I have spoken to the Dean at my current university and know that I am within the top 5% of the class in a Tier 2 school. I also have a relative who is an alumni. What are my chances looking like?

They asked all the standard interview questions (why law, transfer, Chicago, etc) and nothing behavioral or unusual. You have a strict 20 minutes. The interviewer was not cold to me, but their replies were almost robotic. I received my acceptance the day of the last interviews.
Good luck!

Any more interview requests go out today? Do they typically go in waves?

Was your decision ED or RD? And how did you know it was the last day of interviews? Thanks!

I applied ED and was accepted ED. I know it was the last day of interviews because the online scheduler showed all of the interview days.

I looked through last year's thread and different people had different final days to schedule an interview. My final day for an interview is today.

Saw this as well. When I scheduled my interview earlier this week, my final day (which was also stated in the email) was for today as well.

I'm still on hold from ED as of 5/27. Did not receive an interview so I am not hopeful.

Just wanted to make myself available to any T20 transfers that need help with their OCI bid lists in the coming weeks. I'm happy to help people transferring from other schools but my experience re bidding is probably most valuable for 2L's that have grades from similar 1L institutions. I'm most familiar with Chicago, Boston, NY firms. Congrats to all that were admitted

Admissions haven't gone out yet, but what was the timeline like for you when you transferred in? How long did you have to get a bidlist together and in?

I think everyone that got invited to interview my cycle was ultimately admitted. I was admitted in the first wave of RD admits and i'm pretty sure we had a little more than two weeks to put together our bidlists
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
