Is there a separate doc for tracking callback outcomes? Should we start doing that here?

Here is the form to submit data points re - offers/dings from cbs: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIp ... Q/viewform

Here are the results: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/ ... 1510457031

Hopefully the links work!

Not fucked per se. Just not as likely. But firms really seem to vary in how long they take to respond.

Anyone do a DPW or STB CB on Friday and heard back?

As someone involved in recruiting, can confirm offers go out very soon after your CBs. Likely a no offer or a hold.

Going into EIW they told me I had nothing to worry about except sifting through my double-digit offers as I was a strong interviewer and had top 10% gpa and Law Review. They even encouraged me to be less "safe" with my bidlist and bid on more selective firms. Ok, so that advice is not necessarily bad in aggregate, but now I am sitting at 2 callbacks, 7 rejections, and 16 ghosts from EIW. Meanwhile, OCS is still acting like I am in a good spot. I talked to them and they told me I was just "unlucky" this round and will certainly have tons of more callbacks piling up as well as a 80-90% callback to offer rate. I just... don't buy it. I think something is seriously wrong with my interviewing skills or application and OCS seems to think I am in a perfect position when clearly I am not. Given a 2/25 screener to offer rate with my grades I feel like I am heading towards a strikeout and OCS is pretending like everything is going great.

Not to be a dick, but with top 10% and law review, if you were actually good at interviewing, you would have a 100% offer (not callback--offer) rate at every every non-WLRK/Susman/Williams & Connolly/Munger firm.

I'm only a few years out of school, and I did. My similarly-situated friends did.

Litigation might have cost you at a firm or two, but you're....2/9 so far. On callbacks, not offers. For someone with your stats, that's absolutely atrocious. The problem is clearly you--you're annoying your interviewers.

Do some practice interviews, tell people your situation, and ask for *candid* feedback.

Again, not saying this to be a dick, or brag about OCS success from years ago. Saying it to point out that like, you're doing something wrong, and you can fix it.

Same anon. You're totally right — I've talked to friends and it is my interviewing. Essentially, I don't come off as formal/professional. I use "umm" a lot and have a tendency to meander. This in tandem with my resume that has WE, but lacks formal WE (think tutor/political campaign work) probably made interviewers not see me as someone they could imagine working in a law firm. Feels good to have identified a problem, though, at least I have a tangible thing to improve upon. Both the firms I have CBs on are great firms I would be happy at so going to put my disappointment aside and try to nail it. They're both firms that OCS has designated as 3.6+ so I know it will be challenging but doable. Will update this thread if I get one should anyone care. Appreciate the tough love ya'll.

Same anon. Ended up getting 2 offers from both my callbacks!

Cravath if you can believe it lol. When they told me they were like I am sure you have lots of places to choose from and I just had to smile and nod and pretend like I was a hot commodity.
