I would really, really, really appreciate it if people with NYC CBs could briefly assess how long it took to hear back from their firms. Practically no one at my school has heard anything from anyone yet, and our first week of OCI is almost over.

I don't think CLS/NYU are useful reference points since NYC recruiting depts didn't need to fly out to interview there. Since I imagine that distance slows down the turn around and NU is about as far away from NYC as Chi is, I hope that perhaps your turnaround will be more indicative of what we can expect.

Anyone? Bueller?

3 CBs in NYC. Heard from all of them the second day after the interview (eg: Tue -> Thurs) in late afternoon.

Gotcha. Thanks so much, and good luck with your CBs.

NY offices of the big firms seemed to make callbacks within a few days.

I'm just very surprised that the vast majority of us has heard absolutely nothing. I've received 1 CB and I'm majorly in the minority it seems. And God knows I didn't do half as well as people still waiting to hear a single peep from these firms.

Sigh. Thank you.

Did anyone get September interviews? Maybe the email was sent out in error.

[Person]

a) I can't believe no one went with "samezies"
b) I think there were probably just that few slots.

Same. I think it might not have updated yet because it doesn't say I'm on the waitlist for the firms I bid on.

I'm now on the waitlist for the firms I bid on.

How long does it take to get a response about an offer after a callback in Chicago?

Grats! First offer?

So what seems to be the norm on the average # of callbacks? I have received 15. I only discuss callbacks with a very small circle of friends. Of the ppl that I havespoken with, they seem to only have one or they have ten or more.

Most people I know have 0-2. It's kind of ridiculous.

I have 3, but all three were reaches for me, so I am not sure how much good it will do me. I've go no love so far from my supposed targets and safeties.

Anyone heard back from Baker McKenzie? I can't seem to find anything on them here or elsewhere.

[Anonymous User]

Those are the trends I've seen -- people either strike it rich, or strike out. The only ones I've personally seen who might actually be in the median (5-8?) are folks who may be a bit of a GPA stretch but evidently interview extremely well and/or have desirable experience.

It also seems like more than a few of the almost-strike-outs get called back to a reach and get nothing from their safer bets. I don't know if it's enough to call it a trend, but I've heard that from multiple people.
