3. Paul, Weiss. Applied like Thurs/Fri last week, just contacted for "callback." But never did screener, looks like it's just one round at their NY offices.

Re: 2018 Pre-OCI Interviews
the one for NY under "legal recruitment contacts" - dunno if we can post links and email addresses on TLS boards but if you google it, should pop up as the first hit

Re: 2018 Pre-OCI Interviews
Applied to SullCrom, Simpson, Cleary, Skadden, Cravath, all mid/late last week. Nothing yet, but know people who do have interviews scheduled at those firms via personal contacts (paralegal-ing) or interviewing unsuccessfully for 1L SA (if they like you they'll ask you to interview pre-EIP for 2L SA). And FWIW Cravath blasted people who went to this infosession like a week or two ago to send in applications.Anonymous User wrote:Have you applied anywhere else and been contacted?Anonymous User wrote:the one for NY under "legal recruitment contacts" - dunno if we can post links and email addresses on TLS boards but if you google it, should pop up as the first hit

I've reached out to a fair amount of other firms and haven't gotten much.

Re: 2018 Pre-OCI Interviews
yeah I think pre-OCI is way overblown on TLS. sure, there are no downsides to trying, but I think the majority of it is with top Vault firms and with people with top grades.Anonymous User wrote:I've reached out to a fair amount of other firms and haven't gotten much.

Re: 2018 Pre-OCI Interviews
Does anyone know if it’s worth bidding a firm that’s invited you for an early interview? If you don’t get an early offer would OCI be a legitimate second chance or will they just ding you?

I am also going through this process, so by no means an expert, but I have a hard time imaging a firm hiring you after they decided not to hire you after you already did a callback.Anonymous User wrote:Does anyone know if it’s worth bidding a firm that’s invited you for an early interview?

Re: 2018 Pre-OCI Interviews
If you interview and don't get an offer, waste of time to try to re-interview. But if they just never respond to your pre-OCI application, I'd 100% still bid em. Also can take a shot at a different office; like say you interview pre-OCI for Gibson DC and flame out, no reason not to bid Gibson NY.Anonymous User wrote:That's what I was thinking but I figured I would askAnonymous User wrote:I am also going through this process, so by no means an expert, but I have a hard time imaging a firm hiring you after they decided not to hire you after you already did a callback.Anonymous User wrote:Does anyone know if it’s worth bidding a firm that’s invited you for an early interview?

Also -- heard back from Simpson. Like Paul, Weiss, no screener, just the multi-interview thing at their offices.

also a lot of firms have a “one interview policy” so definitely check on that

Re: 2018 Pre-OCI Interviews
I'm top 1/3 at a T50 school. I got callbacks from two V100 firms. This might be too TTT for some of you, but I thought it was pertinent to the topic. As a disclaimer, I have a good contact at one of the firms. Also, my resume is the exclusive talking point of all interviews I have been part of (to the point that I have never been asked nor answered a law school related questions when interviewing for internships/SA). So that helps offset my underwhelming "legal pedigree."
