Bearing $2600 A Week
I've been looking over the list of firms that offered callbacks to Boalties, and it is VERY impressive. And I'm wondering what more I can add there. I'm tempted to put an asterisk next to any firm that is mentioned in the comments. I'm also tempted to bold any firm where a Boaltie has accepted. This last one I'm a bit hesitant about, but I think it would show where we are ending up. Anyway, I'm very proud of all the 2 and 3Ls who've been wowing firms.
The 1Ls have not been forgotten either. Not too long ago you guys were wondering about how to read a dissenting op. Pretty soon you will apply for summer gigs. I or my co-bloggers will have something about that soon. That is all.

don't be stingy with the advice to 1Ls
nice post, armen :)
All that succeess is due solely because Boalt moved up to #8 in the USN&WR rankings.
jk.
i think it would be helpful for people to post offers and acceptances
maybe people should say whether they are a 2L or 3L also
I agree with 6:26. It would be nice to know what firms have started extending offers...
Armen already mentioned about not posting offers. I'll tell you this: if the firm is having call back interviews, it's extending offers. Almost always within 1 week from the interview, frequently less, unless they are on the fence.
Also, Armen seems to have been right about the pointlessness of Thank You notes after callbacks.
I think it might be indiscrete to post offers and accpetances, but thats just me. I think 10:04 is right in saying that if callbacks have been offered, it is fair to assume that offers have also been made. In my limited experience firms that liked me a lot got back to me the same or next day. Firms that weren't as excited about me gave me an offer in a week. I am still waiting on the rest which presumably means I am in a hold pile since I haven't gotten a rejection yet.
If you don't get an offer right away, don't freak out. I didn't get the offer I eventually accepted until about 2 and half weeks after the call-back.
I completely agree with pointlessness of Thank You notes - writing them is a waste of time.
Or you can say, "Hey how have you been?" to your interviewers when you arrive for the summer program. Strangely enough, this also works toward building relationships.
firm associate here, just did my first round of interviews - we fill out a form with our reactions to an interviewee the same day as the interview, so I can definitely say that the thank you notes I got were too late to do any good.
It would be cool to find out what other Boalties are thinking of doing the same firm I am. Is the only way to find out through the grapevine?
