Corrs, Claytons, Allens, Mallesons and Minters for me. Also BCG (grad).

To be competitive in the major commercial law firms, you would need to be in the top 5-10% at UWS, whereas you'd get away with being in the top 20-30% at UNSW. You might also have a very hard time if your aspirations include investment banking or management consulting. I don't know about the...

Darn, if only I'd seen it earlier before my interview. However, I was only interviewed by one partner rather than the promised two. Maybe they're running low?

If we're being realistic, how are your chances for getting into either?

I dunno, Mallesons just seemed like a better option.

I wasn't surprised I missed BD and Baker. Missing Jones Day stung a fair bit. I also thought Minter went terribly terribly badly but apparently not (?)

Missed BD, Jones Day and Baker... So five second round interviews for me.

Red envelopes are turning up again from Minter Ellison and Mallesons are calling people. Now only waiting on Jones Day and Blake Dawson.

Yeah, Bakers are calling people. Rejection strikes at last for me, though I was probably the least enthused about them of all the firms. ETA: Email from Clutz just came through as well, so I'm 3 for 4

Email from Corrs, SMS (lol) from AAR. Both firms are calling to follow up, but not until the end of the week I think.

Corrs second round offers are out. There is overlap already between cocktail evenings for the firms.

AAR second round offers are out - I have mine on Wednesday the 23rd. Haven't heard from anyone else yet. Also, I take a bit of offense at this: I have a job, I play sport, though I admittedly don't 'go out' in the sense you're probably talking about. I don't really think the fact that you...

Nothing even remotely threatening. Just a chat to the partner and the member of HR (most likely Liz Henry)

I dunno, I tend to think that that most important thing you can do in an interview is a) try to be yourself and b) try to get the interviewers to like you. Building a rapport is going to leave a more favourable impression than any clever answer to a standard question. I am all done for...

Thursday. Tomorrow is Allens and Baker, Thursday is Minter, Blakes and Corrs...

Jones Day's information night is on Monday so I think you're out of luck :(

What? Wouldn't you be pretty happy?

Just got the email from Allens, so another interview there. Overall strike rate was 7 from 8 so I'm pretty happy.

Anyone heard from Allens or Minters?

Not me!
