When was your Schulte CB/offer? Had a CB on Monday and still haven't heard back so it doesn't look good.

Hmm... So am I most likely out of the running?

Hard to say at this point but I wouldn't lose hope unless you actually receive a rejection letter... For example it took Kirkland a week (5 business days) to extend an offer. It's hard to say silence is a good sign, but it can also mean that you are still in the running.

My inclination, though I could be completely wrong, is that the fast turnaround there could be explained by anon getting in there on 8/10. This was before almost every school was done OCI right? I'm sure this week the firms are getting a significantly higher volume of people coming through, which can make next day offers less feasible. Or I could be completely wrong ... what do I know.

Why?
Because unless you interviewed the same day at the same firm as someone you're not gathering enough information to say something. Hiring committees will meet at different times. Partners will go on vacation. There are many things that could delay and offer or a ding, so it's best to avoid making assumptions and just keep plugging along. After enough time, yeah, give up hope/wait for the ding. But, you gotta have some patience.

More bluntly: you all don't know enough to make the data capture meaningful. That's to be expected because you don't know anything.

Have fun.

yea I don't really understand this. The individualized OCI twitter feeds are bad enough.

I've done a little recruiting for one of the firms on that annon. list. Firm punted on giving a girl a hard yes or hard no (after CB) for several months while sorting out what the class would look like, how many people firm would need, etc. mostly just due to numbers and borderline fit. She eventually got the offer (and declined, lol!). Until you hear no, you're not out.

I had my FF callback on 08/17 and radio silence since. Does that likely mean I was dinged? Anyone know the method by which they send rejections?

I had mine on Wednesday and they said they would get back to us within a week. They also mentioned that the hiring partners would be tied up the whole Thursday so we shouldn't freak out if we don't hear right away.
