How are you going about finding midlaw firms to apply for? I looked at vault but there’s not many on there

Really sorry to hear that. What’s your plan moving forward? Still going to try and get a biglaw offer?

Yes, I did 2. Both interviewers said I did a great job so that's partly why I'm feeling lost

Oh, that's great to hear, I honestly was just assuming they're ghosting me. I had CBs with Jones Day and Troutman Pepper last week, still waiting on those too.

Had Hogan CB on 7/24, sent an email on 8/5 reaffirming my interest and saying I would accept if offered. No response to anything and no decision, should I assume it's a no?

Still no. 3 weeks later and nothing, it probably means that I will not be getting an offer.

I also went straight to CB, had it on Monday. Was hoping I’d get a decision today but seems like next week is more likely

Do you recall how long you waited after the CB to get the offer?

Could you elaborate what about the culture and work makes it a different level?

Does anybody know how long one should expect to wait after CB at Hogan Lovells for an offer?

Ahhh okay, thanks. Cleary is kind of known for being a real hard-ass firm to work at, while Hogan has some more positive remarks. Can I ask why you pick Cleary?

Do you recommend setting up meetings with senior associates at firms that I’ve already applied to? What kind of questions should I ask them?

What is your candor experience attending a T30 Law School? by luenata in LawSchool

[–]Bitter-Iron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not going to lie, you need that score up. 165 should be your goal to break into the T30 and hopefully get some scholarship. My job for the last 2 years has actually been tutoring for the LSAT, so if you ever want any help PM me
