Thank you note replied by partner after CB interview

Does anyone think there might be a correlation between replying to thank you note by partners and a potential offer?

In my experience, yes, but with a BIG caveat. If ALL of the partners on your CB loved you and tell you this in response to your thank you note, then you are in a pretty good spot. (This does not mean merely a polite response, but a reply actually saying they are super enthused about your candidacy.) But if ONE of the partners loved you and tell you this, there's still no guarantee the other partner(s) also loved you - and it really only takes one dissenting (or even just lukewarm) vote to sink a candidate. So you really can't tell.
