Has anyone who has done a CB interview at STB, DPW, S&C, Weil received an offer yet?
Interviewed at two of those and interviewing at a third tomorrow. One told me it might be weeks and one told me it will be 4-5 days or less. No offers.
Same, interviewed at 2 of those and have a 3rd next week. The wait is killing me
Offer from Weil 2 days after CB this week

If a firm ghosted your pre-oci app, is it worth bidding on that firm during OCI again?

No offer yet but Weil also told me 2 business days was the likely turnaround.

Has anyone looked at past threads and gotten a sense of offer likelihood given callback (by firm)? I know SC is said to be auto admit, but what about other early moving NYC and DC shops? Does straight to callback matter?

Is making Law Review something you should let a firm know while waiting for a decision after having a callback? As an update, continued show of interest? What about a secondary journal?

If you have a CB with S&C, you have something like a 95% chance of getting an offer at my school

Would you mind giving a school range? I have an S&C callback but they do not regularly recruit at my school so I don't want to count on this as gospel

If you get an offer from a firm pre-oci, my school states you have 14 days after the first day of OCI to respond.
Does that basically mean you need to accept the offer or just bank on receiving more during OCI? Because the OCI screener to CB to offer timeline is usually longer than 14 days?

Few things. One, you can always ask the firm to extend the deadline. Two, you can (and should) tell other firms about competing exploding offers - that'll move them along. Three, some firms don't care about school policies (I had one straight up tell me that, in those words). My school's policy is >14 days, but my offer expires at day 14 regardless.

Also, lots of firms move faster than 14 days.

Latham should be embarrassed they use this personality test screening thing. It's so dumb.
