2L job search / Re: How's the job search going?« on: October 21, 2008, 08:31:55 AM »Are people at your school slightly unnerved by that whole offer rescinded thing or has ATL blown it out of proportion? I haven't noticed anyone being freaked out about it, or even talking about it. But it did put even more pressure on me to make up my mind, which I did over the weekend. 22
General Board / Re: ITT we tire ourselves out by pointlessly debating which firms qualify as "elite"« on: October 20, 2008, 10:53:37 PM »
The other thing would be that in this economy, if you figure the more prestigious firms will continue to succeed where some of the less prestigious firms will suffer.

General board for soon-to-be 1Ls / Re: Enjoying 1L. Am I Doing Something Wrong?« on: October 20, 2008, 07:38:18 AM »I loved 1L and people on this board thought I was nuts. Fall of 2L is actually the really stressful, pain in the tail semester. I second this one. I'm looking forward to 3L. I'm overcommitted to extracurriculars this year, on top of the job search (which I'm now done with-- woot). 24
Studying and Exam Taking / Re: lack of motivation in 2L« on: October 19, 2008, 07:11:45 PM »
I don't think lack of motivation to do your class reading or journal assignment translates to being generally bored with life or even with your career in law. Especially not when you've just gone through an exhausting month or two of interviews and traveling.

Is Chicago's scale like basically the LSAT scale?

I feel it. I think I'm P/Fing half my courseload this semester.

2L job search / Re: how do SMU students fare in the Austin market?« on: October 17, 2008, 10:53:22 AM »
Just FYI, as a Michigan student with strong enough credentials to get an offer at a top DC firm, I couldn't get an offer at any Austin firm. Only one callback in Austin.
But take that for what it's worth... I have no Texas ties, and an SMU student clearly does. But UT seems very dominant there. P.S.-- I not only interviewed with every firm with an Austin office that came to OCI, but I did a mailing to Austin firms over the summer. Not a single response. 28

The other thing is that there's no place to say which office... that makes a huge difference.

I feel like the first half of recruiting season was easier, and the second half has slowed down. I am wishing I had scheduled a couple of my later callbacks earlier, and vice versa.
But overall, nothing to complain about. |
