TTTT to T1 transfer (TTTT is so bad I'm sure you know the name), top 12%, 1 pre-select, 3 alternates. One alternate has a (1) next to it, does that mean I'm the next in-line?
I only wrote cover letters for firms in my primary city (6 firms), which happened to be the biggest firms in the city (or satellites of larger firms). I filled in the rest of the bids with firms that didn't require cover letters. Hindsight I would have been better off targeting the "smaller" big law firms in my secondary location as all the firms that chose me were in the 100-200 lawyer range. It has been and will be a good learning experience going into OCI. That and I haven't heard of anyone from my TTTT that did better so that's promising.

Yes. If one person declines an interview with that place, you'll get the slot if you've accepted alternate.

Re: SEMJF 2017
I can update this and say that two of my alternates turned into interviews for a total of 4 interviews. I'm next alternate for the two remaining firms for my options. Perhaps some will cancel before hand and give me a solid 6. Good luck to everyone this Friday and/or Saturday!Anonymous User wrote:T3 transferring to T1. Top 15%.

Re: SEMJF 2017
Seems like this hotel is kind of in the middle of nowhere. Anyone have any suggestions for things to do Friday night? Obviously nothing too crazy, given the 9am interviewing start on Saturday, but it would be nice to meet some fellow Southeastern Minorities!

Re: SEMJF 2017

Re: SEMJF 2017
The Hotel is in Marietta, which is a Northern suburb of Atlanta. If you drive (or Uber) about 15 minutes south to Buckhead, you'll find a myriad of restaurants and casual bars. Buckhead is an "uppity" part of ATL, so expect to pay a bit a little more for drinks than you would in midtown or a normal college town. I really enjoy the food and drinks at Gypsy Kitchen.Anonymous User wrote:Seems like this hotel is kind of in the middle of nowhere. Anyone have any suggestions for things to do Friday night?

I know the hotel that SEMJF takes place in is offering a discount for students. Check the email sent by the donotreply email address for the Hotel information. I think it's $99 for a night if you call the number and say you're with SEMJF.TTTTescapee wrote:Well it looks like one of my alternates just turned into an interview but its on Friday and my I was only scheduled for Saturday.

Re: SEMJF 2017
Hope everyone's weekend went good. I think it would be a good idea if everyone shared their updates. I'll certainly post any call backs, offers, and rejections I get.
I interviewed at Kirkland, Baker Botts, Sidley, Gibson, and Norton Rose.

Re: SEMJF 2017
It would be nice to hear back from the firms before oci. Any chance we hear from the top firms next week?
