Re: Columbia EIP 2017
Mine definitely showed up earlier than last year, but I got all my grades pretty early also. My guess is the new registrar tweaked the system for Kent/Stone so it runs every few days rather than in a single batch once all grades are done like last year.DCfilterDC wrote:Did all your grades come in on time? / Did you take 15 credits graded of Law?GoneSouth wrote:Weird, my 2L honors aren't on there yet.

How does Journal notification work? If you don't get LR, how/when do you find out? Also, when are LR calls? Can they be any time during the day?

Each journal sends an email with a list of people who got on the journal. I assume LR would message you first.

Edit: I don't have the CR yet for my major writing credit (even though I do have it for the Supervised Research Credit for the same paper). Would that really be holding things up though? Major writing credit is a zero-credit thing so I don't think it affects honors.

This happens every year (Kents not on LR). Doesn't seem to impact their performance at top firms.

They don't do honors calculations until your transcript is complete so if it's sitting on your transcript but it's blank in the credit section then it'll be held up.

Re: Columbia EIP 2017
Hey, question.
So I'm doing pre-EIP bidding for a number of offices in my home market. I'm scheduling callbacks at a couple, but waiting on others. For the ones I'm waiting on: should I avoid bidding their New York offices? I worry that I'll look flaky if I do so, and end up torching myself at both places.

Re: Columbia EIP 2017
Can anyone speak to whether LR has any additive value? i.e., if I'm very low Stone, can I afford to be a little more aggressive with my bid list than normal because of having made law review? Are there any specific firms where this will help?

Re: Columbia EIP 2017
LR has very strong additive value. It's going to give you a higher level of safety to experiment out. Besides the maybe hard floor firms like Sullcrom, you are likely good for the rest (DPW, Skadden, etc.). I can't speak exactly to Cravath, or anything, but I wouldn't be surprised if you're competitive for it. Then you also have the v20s. You'll be good.Anonymous User wrote:Can anyone speak to whether LR has any additive value? i.e., if I'm very low Stone, can I afford to be a little more aggressive with my bid list than normal because of having made law review?

Low Stone grades; 3.44; Secondary Journal; Non-URM
I'm below SullCrom's hard floor, but I went to two events, including an affinity event, and had a follow up phone call with a senior associate I know was filed with recruiting. And then I figured I might as well take a flier on Cravath.

The issue is that I'm applying to all 3 in Chicago right now. Like, they all have my resume and are looking at me. I'm worried that if I bid them in New York 1) it won't be allowed or 2) I'll look like I'm waffling between two markets.TheoO wrote:Wait, you don't have the last 3 firms in there, why exactly?

Re: Columbia EIP 2017
Try and see what OCS says, then. You may be able to inform their recruiting that you are interested in both the NY and Chicago offices. Typically, firms will specify if they only accept bidding for one or multiple offices.
Also, maybe I am less risk-averse for stone people, but I feel like stone don't strike out (in that havn't seen any who has). I've seen underperformance, but recruiting continues for a while after and firms often have more need, so if you don't get your right firm now, it's not the end. Give yourself some breathing room. I doubt a stone will be forced to cadwalader, fried frank or orrick. White & Case and Willkie are more reasonable.

Re: Columbia EIP 2017
I have mixed feelings about this sentiment. Even if this is true, having offers from these firms on the table is not necessarily a bad thing. In some cases, the right firm may not be the highest vault ranked and the chance to consider different offers may be valuable. In doing the call back process and giving a lower ranked firm a chance you may find you like it better.TheoO wrote:. I doubt a stone will be forced to cadwalader, fried frank or orrick. White & Case and Willkie are more reasonable.
Additional offers might also be helpful if you have unusual interests and may want to split firms or offices. Different firms have different policies on these kinds of things and the more options on the table, the more likely you can find a combination that will work.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
