How late is too late to schedule callbacks? Would asking a firm to schedule for second to third week of September be frowned upon? Trying to plan ahead as I will be unavoidably out of the country for most of August post-EIP.

Please call or email an OCS advisor today and explain the situation.

I have 1H, 9P and am targeting 2 markets (NYC and one other major market). I have 20 interviews. Do you think it would be prudent to add more?

Yeah

I only managed to add one more firm before the extra slots were taken during the add period, is it too late to email recruiters and ask for some time or should I wait for the official daily add periods?

Also, is there any way to tell which specific interviewers you'll have if the firm lists many?

Thanks!

I know this is early for eip, but I did interviews through the BLG and have had callbacks. Any key differences to bear in mind between screeners and CBs?

ETA: I found the OCS page on it, but if anyone has anything else to add I'd appreciate it nonetheless

ETA2: spoke to OCS. On another note, though, how many CBs is a sane number to do? 5? 7? 10? As many as possible?

Most people do 6ish. Much more than that isn't really necessary.

Call backs are literally 4-6 screeners back to back and maybe a meal/tour. The challenge is telling the same stories over and over and delivering a performance that feels genuine and spontaneous each time. In a way, EIP is a good prep for that.

So tell me, what have you enjoyed the most about law school so far...

Any word on Proskauer, Debevoise, Jones Day or Kirkland NY?

If you get a CB, could you mention your interviewer's initials in parentheses? Other schools do it and it seems helpful.

Should we call to arrange cbs right away or wait for business hours?

If ppl are still answering the phones, you can call the same night, but there's no harm in waiting til business hours.

Do firms make calls in one sitting/day? (i.e. if you haven't heard from any of the firms mentioned above, does that mean you didn't get a CB?)

Nope, different screeners might make calls on different days. One screener might have 5 calls to make and only get to one or two of them one night. One screener might have four spots and only two people that were definites and might want to sleep on the last two spots. I'm not saying to wait forever, but give it a week from the time you heard of the first CB.

SML meant to quote the post below. On your point, I scheduled my first CB well after business hours this evening. There's no harm in calling, because if they're there you can schedule, and if they're not no one will answer the phone.

Do firms make calls in one sitting/day? (i.e. if you haven't heard from any of the firms mentioned above, does that mean you didn't get a CB?)
