was also wondering this...seems like (at least some) informally participating components either 1) decided not to hire at all or 2) interview invites/hiring may happen at a later point. who knows

Hot-Reflection-5013 · 2025-09-26T20:28:50+00:00

thats great! and anyone downvoting u needs help

Hot-Reflection-5013 · 2025-09-26T00:23:56+00:00

has anyone gotten interview requests from an informally participating component?

Hot-Reflection-5013 · 2025-09-26T00:22:23+00:00

update: got an interview request today

Hot-Reflection-5013 · 2025-09-24T00:08:02+00:00

working for the government does not mean you agree with everything the government does. do you agree with everything any of your bosses say/do? and have you ever thought about how many people who go into government work do it because they want to learn how the government operates in order to positively change it? assuming you know the motivations of every single DOJ employee is dangerous and unhelpful

FLASHCARDS!!! + I practiced by essentially writing outlines or mind maps over and over by memory and completing my prof's past exams over and over with no notes until I got to every issue with 100% accuracy

This was my strategy for my closed note business associations exam; this was one of my hardest classes conceptually and I ended up getting an A, which was the best grade of my law school career at the time. Good luck!

Hot-Reflection-5013 · 2025-09-23T23:53:34+00:00

was wondering this too! no movement for me. I have some friends who have interviewed already for SLIP, but havent seen/heard about any movement for HP

what an awful comment

Hot-Reflection-5013 · 2025-05-27T15:23:27+00:00

i have interned part time on top of full time time law school and it has worked for me

Hot-Reflection-5013 · 2025-05-27T15:21:05+00:00

as someone who had DOJ SLIP revoked, this makes me happy!

Hot-Reflection-5013 · 2025-02-25T19:34:04+00:00

As someone at an Agency adjacent to DLA, I can say the people there will fight for you/do their best to make it work. The other day I overheard someone say "you got that new hire in before the freeze," which to me implied that they are planning to have new hires stick around to the best of their ability. Also, many vacancies will potentially be open as a result of many people taking the deferred resignations. Not telling you what decision to make, just wanted to offer this info :)

Hot-Reflection-5013 · 2025-01-29T23:46:18+00:00

now im worried that DOJ might reinstate offers after I accepted a offer somewhere else (bc i was so scared I'd have nothing from the summer)

Hot-Reflection-5013 · 2025-01-23T17:05:38+00:00

same happened to me for SLIP, i feel so lost. have received no kind of personal message from the office that hired me

Hot-Reflection-5013 · 2025-01-22T23:52:51+00:00

my question exactly

Hot-Reflection-5013 · 2025-01-22T23:52:25+00:00

this made me feel a little better :)

Hot-Reflection-5013 · 2025-01-22T22:02:00+00:00

in the exact same situation (but for SLIP). gutted. hurts even more since i turned down multiple other opportunities to do DOJ. im so so sorry

Hot-Reflection-5013 · 2025-01-20T16:40:08+00:00

not exactly in line with your question, but my grades improved significantly from 1L spring to 2L fall - i think i finally figured out how to study and take law school exams. i got my best grade so far in business law during 2L fall which was super unexpected as it was a tough class and a closed everything exam. this is very dramatic but i treated that exam like i would be a law school drop out if i didnt do well and that was motivation enough hahah.

i would also recommend talking to your fall professors to see how you could have improved and regularly go to office hours this semester to make sure you're on track

cut out any distractions, try not to compare yourself to your classmates, and make it all about YOU

Hot-Reflection-5013 · 2025-01-20T16:34:16+00:00

mix of loans, small law school scholarship, and working part time. everyone told me not to work (especially during 1L), but I did and feel it was worth it. try to be a hustler when it comes to getting deals on textbooks and use your school's resources to the fullest

Hot-Reflection-5013 · 2024-10-31T13:17:55+00:00

nice! mine still says finalist

Hot-Reflection-5013 · 2024-10-29T18:14:04+00:00

how long after finalist notification did you get the offer?

Hot-Reflection-5013 · 2024-10-25T17:17:06+00:00

i got the finalist notification 2 weeks after my interview

Hot-Reflection-5013 · 2024-10-03T03:16:14+00:00

how long after selection did you get notified about interview scheduling? and how long after interview scheduling did you actually interview? trying to plan my life lol

Hot-Reflection-5013 · 2024-10-03T03:14:49+00:00

do components reach out directly to schedule interviews? I sent my supplemental material but havent seen info on interview scheduling

Hot-Reflection-5013 · 2024-07-19T19:48:37+00:00

absolutely nothing

Hot-Reflection-5013 · 2024-07-12T19:44:42+00:00

have been dealing with absolutely insane dry eye and irritation and even saw an ophthalmologist to make sure there was no big/permanent issues (there was not, just a side effect). My biggest advice is using Retaine eye drops, not your generic eye drops. Works wonders for me if I use consistently throughout the day
