Hey Y'all! Do we think most of the big law firms have made decisions on initial interviews at this point? I have some local stuff and one big law firm callback, but none in my target cities and I've heard nothing from the DC/NY/Chicago firms I've applied to? Just wanted to see if others had heard ba...

Congrats all!

I was told May 15 or possibly sooner when I spoke with them last month...

Thanks! Hopefully we'll get something from them soon then. =)

Spivey, any news regarding the ATL rankings? Thanks!

Thank you all so much for being willing to do this! I'm definitely in!

Thanks Waldorf!

The person on the phone said that the admissions committee was meeting this afternoon to discuss WL candidates, so they may be done for today at least. I'm not sure how long those discussions will take before they release some decisions.

Thanks, appreciate the update =)

Has anyone had a call after 3:30 or do we think they're done for the day?

did anyone not get the WL update email last week about the lack of merit aid? I didn't get it, and in the depths of my paranoia, I'm starting to wonder if it has to do with them not even considering me haha Yeah I didnt get It. Also just on the plain old regular waitlist. I thought the same as you ...

Made an account to let you all know that I got the feeler call too even though I'm not in the special group (just the regular preferred waitlist). The area code was 202. I also got the email from last week asking if we'd definitely come to Georgetown and that they don't have merit aid. Thank you fo...

Just got a feeler call. I guess that’s what you call it anyway lol. A lady asked a couple of questions about whether I was still interested. On the SPW, hoping it’s a good sign.

Do you mind telling us the area code so we know what to look for?

Do you mind if I ask if you also already got the email about lack of merit aid for WL applicants? Congrats!! L...

Can anyone speak to the social life at WUSTL? Does the school host events for students to get to know each other? Do most people have lives/SO's outside of the law school, or is there a strong community of students? Do students still go out?

did you guys send in an full-length LOCI with reasons you want to attend, or did you just respond to the email saying you were interested in staying on the waitlist? :| not sure if they want us to send a full length LOCI. kinda confused about what to do I already sent a LOCI in early april so I jus...

Same for me as well. No confirmation since my deposit.

You aren’t totally barred from firms like Susman, KVN, Williams & Connolly, etc. But “not totally barred” means your ranking basically needs to be in the single digits. If you’re top 1% or maybe top 10 students in the class you should be able to get an interview—assuming the person who sees your re...

What’s up with Gorsuch not using section headers? I heard on a podcast (I forget which one but probably First Mondays), that its a combination of personal style and making it harder for other justices to join opinions in part. lol thank you. "If you can't handle me at my tendentious Part III.B, you...

REQUEST: Big law litigators and/or appellate attorneys.

Thank you all for doing this!

Anyone just get an email with a video and to stay tuned for tomorrow? I’m on the special list.

I received this as well. On the preferred wl

Same.

Unfortunately I can’t help much there. I mostly only keep up with stuff that happens in my market (due to time constraints), and mostly only through blogs because they’re a quick read on my phone. For more national stuff, I’d certainly look at SCOTUSblog and How Appealing, but I’m not sure beyond t...
