It might be. From last year's thread:

Posted on the website.

Below is a list of employers that have not submitted their selections yet:

DLA Piper
Downey Brand
Fenwick & West
Kirkland & Ellis
Laughlin, Falbo, Levy & Moresi
Morgan Lewis & Bockius
San Francisco District Attorney's Office
San Mateo County District Attorney's Office
Shute Mihaly & Weinberger
Weil, Gotshal & Manges

Please stayed tuned at this announcement board for the latest updates.
Things may go out in a different order this year, but what this does mean is that it's at least possible not all of the firms have issued out their interview spots yet.

For reference, I got Kirkland, Orrick, Cooley, and DPW. I don't know if that means those firms have issued all their spots yet, but it's a data point.

Is not getting any preselect a sign that chances of receiving an offer are slim? Anyone has an idea if it's correlated?

Yeah, I'd say so, too. If they've given alternates, that probably means they've decided who all their pre-selects will be.

What the hell are you talking about? How would you get an offer if you can't interview with them?

It's not a bad question, dude. He's probably curious about what would happen if he got an interview via the lottery, having not been pre-selected, and if that would already signal that they didn't want him.

Not to give false hope, but last year's thread shows that some firms updated throughout the day (in other words, someone reported getting a firm at midnight, then someone else reported having their "Not Invited" changed to a pre-select later in the day for that same firm). Interpret that how you will.

Dam it's not that complicated. There could be a high correlation between people that receive preselect invitations and the 80 or so offers firms usually give out a this fair.

I'm sure a bunch of newbie applicants are best equipped to answer your urgent question.

Forgot this thread was only for "newbie" applicants. Also congrats on recognizing a possible correlation.

I got a pre-select with WSGR and an alternate with Fenwick. It's very possible they are coming out in waves though.
