I am sure you did it correctly ... it took a couple of days for the admins to add me.

Darn good question. Maybe post this in the ask a law student/graduate thread also. UNC seems to place well in DC, and I wonder if this is big law or gov work. I know UNC is in the top50 preferred schools for NLJ250 at about 15% placement from c/o 2010, but it would be good to know what firms to start researching.JD Janitor wrote:Is there a list of firms that visited UNC last year at OCI along with the number of job offers from each?
1L OCI had a very surprisingly strong presence from firms, but they were largely NC and Atlanta powerhouses (e.g. Womble Carlyle, Troutman Sanders)...you can also do a lot of footwork yourself. If you do well, a lot of doors will be open. The job I'm working now, I got through 1L OCI, but I had 4 outstanding offers and was in the final round of interviews for 2 other jobs when I just said "enough is enough, I've gotta get back to learning the law already" since OCI became a huge distraction. Anyone feel free to PM me with questions.el William wrote:Darn good question. Maybe post this in the ask a law student/graduate thread also.

Orientation starts Wednesday, so less than one week until this craziness starts. Gotta admit I am starting to get some butterfliesYouDontKnowMe wrote:When is y'all's orientation?
Orientation is boring, not something to get nervous about! :] Look forward to making friends--somehow UNC always manages to choose some cool, relatively-unobnoxious-for-law-students people. I forget, did they tell you to dress up? (If so, don't show up with a suit and a briefcase. Especially not a briefcase. Just don't do it.)el William wrote:Orientation starts Wednesday, so less than one week until this craziness starts.

Thanks for the advice. I'll leave my fancy Italian attaché case at home (kidding). You have been really helpful on this site and I wonder if you could help with one more thing. I know nothing about the student email service and don't think I have gotten any notifications about it from the school. When I logged into connect Carolina student center I saw a link for "heel mail", clicked on it and saw that I had an address with @live.unc.edu as the domain. Is this my school email? I assume so but I couldn't figure out how to get to an inbox or compose messages to be sent from that account.YouDontKnowMe wrote:Orientation is boring, not something to get nervous about! :] Look forward to making friends--somehow UNC always manages to choose some cool, relatively-unobnoxious-for-law-students people.

Yes, that's your school email address, hosted by Windows Live, which IMO is a pain in the ass. Assuming you've set up your ONYEN (which I guess you have if you can sign into ConnectCarolina), you should be able to sign into your @live.unc.edu email address with the same ONYEN and ONYEN password. I always use the portal site to get there (http://www.unc.edu/myunc/, HeelMail link over to the right), but I get everything forwarded to my gmail account and only sign into the school account to send official emails.el William wrote:Thanks for the advice.
