Yes got one the day after my cb last week. It was a weird setup where all the interviewees were brought in on the same night at the same time, so I guess they made decisions that night.
I got one the day after my CB and one the night of my CB. The offer given the night of was also what OP described. From what I hear, it's actually pretty common for firms to do this. They often have 1 or 2 "super interview days" each year
wait really? oh man I guess I've been living under a rock bc I've only ever heard of dla piper doing this. anyone mind naming some of the firms they know that do this?
I think Choate does this. Fish and Richardson too maybe.
Fitzpatrick did this on Saturday, but I haven't heard back yet.
I heard back from them the night of that Super Saturday

I got an offer at a firm I prefer anyway, so it’s not a big deal, but I bid on Fitzpatrick at my school rather than PLIP and had the best screener I’ve done, but still got dinged.

Now I know it’s because the class was probably already full.

Got a ding from Lerner David after being told I'll "definitely be recommended" to move on. Heard of some offers being made by BB and KE.

Heads up there's movement from Brinks for people who submitted resumes at hospitality suites. So if you're still in limbo for Brinks I'd give them a follow-up email to reiterate interest before someone else fills up the spot.

Finally have made my decision so I'm done! Thought I'd just post an anecdotal data point for future PLIP attendees.

Applied to 25
18 Screeners
11 CBs
3 Offers (went on 3 CBs and cancelled 8 CBs after first offer)

MechE background, ~3yrs relevant patent WE, just outside top quarter at a T25, LR.

Good luck to the rest of you and to those in the future.

Applied to around 15, though only 9 in my locale
6 screeners (had 8 but dropped 2)
3 CBE, 3 CBA
3 offers

Biology B.S. from a good school but with a low GPA (B/B+ avg)
Top 2% at TT, transferred to HYS (transferred after initial resume was due, but updated the firms during the screeners)
