Based on the most helpful WSO content, there isn't specific information available about the current status of full-time 2027 recruiting spots for William Blair or Houlihan Lokey (HL) in Chicago. However, historically, firms like William Blair and HL tend to have small analyst classes, and the recruiting process can vary depending on the year and market conditions.
If you applied last week and haven't heard back yet, it might still be early in the process. It's common for firms to take some time to review applications, especially if they are still conducting interviews or finalizing decisions for other candidates. Keep an eye on your email and consider reaching out to their recruiting team for an update if you don't hear back in the next couple of weeks.

Blair started
You in process?
Yea
HL done
For both RX and consumer?
For RX or all groups?
Don't know how im getting MS here. RX I know for sure has sent out all R1s, consumer offers are posted on LinkedIn after checking really quickly so im assuming they are also done. At the very least R1s have gone out there too
Any idea if other groups there are recruiting or sent out btw?
What do you mean they are posted on Linkedin, do you mean you found the person who took the spot (was there only one?)
Is networking at LMM/MM regional offices too late? NYC?
