How does this ratio usually vary with the school's rank?

The initial instinct I had was that a firm would have a lower ratio and a school that is down the rankings, because they take fewer SAs.

However, a lot of the lower T1 or higher T2 schools are primarily preselect -- all the top 5-10% are doing most of the screeners -- the best ones are getting most of the callbacks and presumably any given interviewee is less likely to accept a given offer. This leads me to believe it should counter the reduced numbers effect.

Would a firm react to this by giving out more offers? Or would they more likely delay offers to the "next best choice(s)" pending acceptance of their first offer(s)?

I think it is fundamentally true that many of the firms that do OCI at a regional T1/T2 school want to take at least 1 SA from that school to keep the relationship going...but obviously its much harder to be accurate when you're aiming at a yield of 1-2.

It is safe to assume that firms treat candidates who have already received callbacks as a relatively homogeneous group. Columbia is the most robust data set but hardly the only one available, and all of the spreadsheets, anecdotes, and tabulations to which I have access suggest that the numbers quoted in this thread are broadly accurate for all firms and all schools at which they hire from in significant numbers.

If you get a CB from a mailed application at a firm and you're the only one from your school, then the "CB:Offer ratio" is kind of a meaningless concept anyway, you're just in a different category.

I agree with this. And yes, the data is from Columbia. I've seen Harvard's data though (for the firms I had CBs at last year) and it was basically the same with minor variations.
