Sorry to hear, though it's such a shitshow for these diversity programs. Much less about merit and much more about whether you're the right type of "diversity" they're looking for. They've literally got boxes to check off, rank stack candidates for each of those boxes, and go on to the next "diversity type fit" candidate on the list if one turns them down. So it's all bullshit really and dings do not reflect your inherent ability. Honestly, now that I know how law firms hire, if I were hiring law firms I would look carefully at their junior associates to make sure they're worth they're billable hours.
Come on, you're in law school... *their

Yes. It’s all expenses paid and a great networking opportunity. You never know who you will meet that could help you reach your goals, even if at another firm.
But I'm so salty they rejected me and accepted someone else I know who's so much less qualified
Did you get a formal ding?

I'd get this attitude in check before OCI--this exact situation will happen a number of times. Sometimes it's about more than qualifications. I did better at OCI with slightly above median grades than people at the top of my class. It's about your ability to seem normal and enjoyable just as much as it is about your qualifications.

Not OP but waiting +1. I cb-ed with NY - its been a while. Last year Kirkland took 3 from HLS - not sure if they are going to stick with HYS this year as well...
LOL oh :? did you get any info about turnaround/timelines?
Not OP (x2) - was told decisions will be made this week, but I believe that was for non LCLD positions.
Anyone CB and ding/CB and offer? Or is everyone CB and waiting?

Join the club. I have about 80 outstanding. If you don't have any ongoing interviews, you might want to start applying for unpaids.

how long have your CBs been? i was under the impression that they were half day kinda things, but i went screener --> CB and was put into a ~1:30 time slot.

Also, earlier this week i was invited to an office to speak with 3-4 attorneys without a phone screener. Does this serve as the screener or is it considered a CB?

I had 1:30 callback recently as well (post in-person screener)

If it's several hours then it's a CB. I had 1:30pm CB's too - mostly a function of scheduling/not wanting to miss class. Cheaper for firms actually - no lunch component!

I meant 1:30 as in hour and a half. For example, is 10:00-11:30 am post phone screener as cb? Additionally (different firm) is an interview with 3-4 attorneys a cb if I didn't have any screener prior to?

I'm the other person that also said 1:30, that's what I meant as well. I think if you're meeting 3+ attorneys it's definitely a CB. Mine was three 30-minute meetings with 1-2 attorneys each.
