With tuition increases it was more like a 1/4th scholarship (60k a year is the new 45k a year), plus it's always Sunny in Beautiful Los Angeles!

Somewhat depressed that I did 19 interviews but only have three callbacks thus far. EIP ended on Tuesday. I thought I did pretty well in most of my interviews but I guess I was wrong. Only one rejection but at this point, I doubt that I'll be getting much more than what I already have.

When I did OCI (which was three years ago and in a much better market), I had like 20+ interviews too, only I didn't get a single callback. If you got three in this market, feel good and don't whine.

OCI last week. 17 interviews led to a total of 4 callbacks. One of which was at the end of last week. Got an offer from that firm yesterday! Now I can do my other three callbacks a lot more relaxed and see where I fit and where I want to end up. Note to 1Ls: Contrary to what they tell you, law review matters for biglaw. People with worse grades than mine (I was top 5-10% on a secondary journal, they're top 30% on LR) who made it onto law review had 9-12 callbacks and had some callbacks at top firms that flat out rejected me. Prepare for your write-on and sacrifice goats to the gods if you need to.

I had the opposite experience and thought getting onto law review with not so great grades didn't help me very much in the interview process and that having good grades ended up being much more important so your mileage may vary and a lot of it probably depends on how well you interview once you have the interview, unless its a lottery system.

Got a callback! And finished the last of the 23 interviews. Still only two rejections. And I have two more interviews at the end of next week, one of which is biglaw. Highlights: -calling Sullivan Cromwell "Covington" in front of five associates -blurting out a question (to a firm several goons have worked at) about the loving hundreds of layoffs a few years back -my new headphones

God I wish I had worn headphones during my OCI. It would have been so much more relaxing, listening to some cool tunes while sitting across the table from people who had no intention of ever hiring me.

Is Law Review actually any fun or interesting to do? I don't think it's that important in Canada since it's non-competitive to get on, so I'm trying to figure out if it's still worth doing.

I would agree with that though. People at my school that were top 30-20% with LR had way fewer screeners than someone who was top 5% and secondary journal.

At Osgoode we didn't have a write-on competition as such, but you still had to apply with a cover letter and resume and they only took a small handful of people. The secondary journals, though, I have no idea.

So far, so good for the first two days. Did 11 of my 25 total screening interviews, and none of the interviews were outright bombs. Two callbacks scheduled thus far.

nm posted:Might be true for PD or DA work (outside of Manhattan, San Francisco, Santa Clara and the like). No one has ever asked me my GPA applying for PD jobs in CA, much less about journals. i'm thinking about writing a note about (probably in support of) prisons-without-walls scenarios in other first-world countries. or some other poo poo that i find interesting this semester. this is for the comparative/international law journal that i'm on. on the other hand, a work sounds like a lot of work. could it help me get a prosecutor job (either ada or eventually even ausa), or could it hurt, or will it likely have no effect at all?
