Sorry dude congrats on the secondaries though! Do you know which one you'll accept?DildaMan wrote:Email is out. Made all the secondaries but struck out on HLJ.
Same here. I made the Business and Poverty & Race journals. I temporarily believed I made HLJ because the Business journal is the first journal shown in the PDF and has a similar name.DildaMan wrote:Email is out. Made all the secondaries but struck out on HLJ.
What tipped you over to transferring?Lasers wrote:Made HLJ which i'm super happy about...but im probably transferring.
Feel sad im probably leaving behind a cool experience like journal.
Congrats on the journals! Do you know which one you're picking? Race & Poverty sounds really interesting.kapital98 wrote:Same here. I made the Business and Poverty & Race journals.

I also heard that Business journal is more bro, but there aren't tons of bros at Hastings, so it can't be that bad. I definitely think Race & Poverty sounds more interesting, at least to me. I think we find out about interviews on August 1st like troll said, so it will be a big timing issue. Knowing Hastings, I wouldn't be surprised if we find out our interviews at like 11:59pm.kapital98 wrote:Do you know when firms get back to students regarding OCI bids?ilovesf wrote:Congrats on the journals!

I'm planning on using the Business journal on my OCI applications and then switching to Race & Poverty if I don't get any interviews (a distinct possibility.) I harp about my interest in business in my cover letters. I feel it would be consistent to also have the Business journal on my resume. However, if that falls through then I'm definitely going PI and would rather do Race & Poverty.
I also feel the type of people who do each journal will be very different. LEOP dominates the Race & Poverty journal. I had the incoming editor-in-chief as a TA for immigration. I'm slightly afraid the Business journal will be more 'bro/fraternity' dominated. Like college.
Crap, should have picked business. -_-ilovesf wrote: I also heard that Business journal is more bro, but there aren't tons of bros at Hastings, so it can't be that bad.

If it doesn't say required, why not. If it says required I wouldn't. I have a feeling a lot of people will be bidding today. I still have 3 cover letters to write - ugh.lucield wrote:question -
did you guys see the email from sarah tigerman about how only one person had bid on orrick sacramento? it's obvious people are choosing sf way more than anything else, thus making it much more competitive. so this leads to my question
do you guys think it's worth choosing firms that have higher cut offs (top 20% versus 30% etc) that have their locations in la/outside sf, versus things that are lower but in sf? i'm inclined to bit on firms outside my range but that aren't in la because i dont think they are receiving many bids and you might get selected even though you are outside the normal range..... opinions?
Orrick Sacramento was a resume collect if I recall correctly. I bid +/- 5% unless its a reach. Some of the other offices have stricter requirements ( Orrick Sacramento is 15% while SF is 10-25% ).ilovesf wrote:If it doesn't say required, why not. If it says required I wouldn't.

I bid on a couple places that say 10% preferred (I think just 2 or 3) otherwise I stayed in my range. I noticed a couple other differences- like white & case sf is 10% and NYC is 25% - I think I'm gonna do some NYC collects.DildaMan wrote:Orrick Sacramento was a resume collect if I recall correctly.
