Hey! OP is here.

So, today I got a call from one of the outreach recruiters designated in my area, and she gave me a bit of more of background information on why we got these changes going for the virtual interview.

She explained to me that they are in the process of leveling up the DCP experience in contrast to other internship opportunities they have within the company, so they are testing this as a way to be more mindful of the applicants and such.

Obviously remember this response is from a recruiter, so it’s gonna be a more sanitized answer, but it kinda makes sense. :))

Just thought of sharing it for anyone who was curious like me!

Hiya! Just applied for my second program and got an interview slot! It's a virtual interview, so I'm slightly confused since when I applied in 2024 I only had a phone interview. What can I expect differently from a virtual one? Also, when did they make this change?

To be fully honest, I had the BEST experience in my first DCP. I did it while in college, in my sophomore year. Even though I had a partner at the time (who was pretty jealous, I realized that when we broke things off) who monitored my every move while being long-distance. My parents were pretty supportive emotionally, even though economically they weren’t able to support a whole lot. The location was a QSR in the Wilderness Lodge and had one of the best leadership I’ve ever experienced up to date.

Now, with the applications opening tomorrow, I’m having second thoughts of doing a second program. I’m applying to grad school, but it starts in August 2027, and I finish my degree in December this year.

I guess I’m just looking for explanations of people who did a second program and what are their thoughts! Also, I wanna know how possible is it getting a different role, or how much weight does your first role has on that initial decision making. I know it’s based on the company’s needs, but I wanna hear more thoughts :)).

I just registered for the LSAT in August. It would be my first time taking it, and I haven’t really studied it beforehand. I know it’s kind of a short term study plan, but that’s why I’m asking for advice to consider other than doing the practice exams in LawHub and such.
