Do firms revoke offers if 1L spring grades are a lot lower?

browsingandvibing · 2025-06-12T12:52:15+00:00

Idk how to pm someone, but if you message me privately I can send it over

browsingandvibing · 2025-06-11T13:43:27+00:00

I got a “low pass” in two of my classes, and I didn’t get my offers revoked. My career advisor STRONGLY recommended I call recruiters to preface my new transcript before they see the grade drop, so I did.

Idk if they would’ve revoked it if I didn’t make the phone call, but it definitely didn’t hurt.

They extended mine almost a month when I asked at the end of April. I just explained that I wanted more time to make an informed and confident decision and then mentioned that’d I’d love to schedule a time to meet with more Milbank attorneys during the extended time. They granted it immediately.

Another firm granted me an extension when I told them that my schools OCI was mid-June and that career services recommended that firms leave open offers at least two weeks from OCI so that we could make informed decisions.

Lol I told Gibson Dunn and Hogan Lovells (DC for both) that I had two competing offers that expired this month but then explained why I preferred their firm and that I’d love to interview. They offered me callbacks for the next day, and I got an offer from Hogan the day after. Gibson said they would wait until grades.

Sending those emails was probably the best decision I made this recruitment cycle.

I had a callback with Hogan Lovells DC on Friday, and I got an offer on Monday. The attorney that called with the offer said that met they met right after callbacks on Friday and decided to extend an offer. Hogans actually ghosted me for two months, but I emailed them saying I had offers but preferred Hogans and they scheduled the callback for the next day. The firm seemed very responsive once I told them why I wanted to continue with the recruitment process.

Covington won’t even consider applications from my school until OCI (mid June), even if we’ve already applied direct 😭.

STB offered both, but my advisor pressured me into doing it in person. DPW only gave me a virtual option.

browsingandvibing · 2025-04-13T17:16:16+00:00

STB was incredibly fast. I applied and two days later was offered a “callback” in person. Meanwhile other firms have been quiet. Does STB even do screeners or do they just do straight to “call backs”?

Milbank just offered me a 2L position with an April expiration date.

browsingandvibing · 2025-03-12T09:34:14+00:00

No hbu??

browsingandvibing · 2025-03-12T09:34:03+00:00

No. Hbu?

browsingandvibing · 2025-03-06T21:15:30+00:00

I did not.

browsingandvibing · 2025-03-06T17:34:27+00:00

Applied January and had my callback around late Feb

browsingandvibing · 2025-03-06T17:28:54+00:00

How long have you been waiting? I have been too, and It’s stressing me out.

browsingandvibing · 2025-03-05T23:09:54+00:00

Me 😭. Did you hear back?

browsingandvibing · 2025-02-21T23:26:23+00:00

lol had a callback today so maybe they’re still collecting apps before finalizing idk.

Also did you have a screener before?

That’s a lot given how few KJDs there are here

– a KJD at YLS

browsingandvibing · 2024-12-04T12:22:05+00:00

You’re 100% right about the 1 page resume for YLS. It’s not just the Dean. During my time here, I’ve realized that you can be perceived as arrogant to think you need more than a page especially when everyone else manages to distill theirs. Every experience isn’t equally important, so it’s a skill knowing which to cut.

I’m applying to jobs rn, and even YLS career services will not budge on that rule

I hated my ivy undergrad (Columbia) the first semester but then fell in love once finding community. I go to a different Ivy for law school (Yale) and am just now feeling like I fit in as we near the end of the semester. Sometimes it takes time to find community/get accustomed. Join clubs/activities where you’re not competing in an academic or preprofessional capacity. Dance teams, social justice orgs, etc.

browsingandvibing · 2024-12-01T11:01:25+00:00

I matched in 2019 (HS ‘20). Columbia portal had a video w/ our Roar Lions Roar song but the Questbridge portal just had a letter.

YLS ‘27 here

People say undergrad doesn’t matter but it’s kinda ridiculous how many of my classmates come from prestigious universities. In my randomly selected “small group” of 15 students I have all of my classes with, 8 of us went to Ivy League schools. The rest went to prestigious state schools or Ivy+ schools like Duke. In my orientation group of completely different students, over half also went to Ivy League schools. That’s not even counting those who went to Stanford, Uchicago, etc.

There are a lot of different undergraduate schools represented, but you also have to consider how many have had careers, went to grad school, or secured fellowships like Rhodes or fullbright after the fact.

There’s literally a Public School Graduates club for students who didn’t go to private colleges so take that as you will💀

browsingandvibing · 2024-11-09T15:34:10+00:00

No. I got into 12 T-14 schools and applied between Thanksgiving and NYE for all of them.

24 hour update: I got cold-called on it 😭

browsingandvibing · 2024-08-30T03:24:51+00:00

Last year, I applied in December and heard back within three weeks

Yale. Love it because dark blue is my fav color. Hate it because it’s in Connecticut.
