I'm a 3L, so speaking from experience it's not a great sign. You're either dinged or on hold.

Does anyone know when the best time to schedule a Cali callback is? Previous advice says to schedule callbacks ASAP but since EIP hasn't ended yet I don't know when the best time would be

Still ASAP but understandable if you want to wait a few days to try and schedule them all on one trip. If you're doing both NY and CA I'd schedule the CA one further out because their offices can take a little bit longer to give callbacks and that gives you a chance to hit em all on one shot.

I prefer it this way. Thought the interview went well though. I guess I suck at gauging this stuff.

Most of the v20 firms have not started extending callbacks yet, so hang tight!

I'm at 10 & in the same situation. I also have this question, seeing as a decent amount of the firms I met with are not v20 firms.
