Heard of a few that have already emailed dings.

Question for CB's we dont want: do most people call to decline or email to decline?

CB from Cleary (KB) by email on Friday night/call on Sat. Cravath is still doing screeners tomorrow so I assume they haven't made any calls yet.

Anyone heard from Sidley (CR & AZ) or Milbank (GC)?

Also, this may be a dumb question...but if a firm tells you to schedule your callback with their recruiting department, is everyone waiting until Monday/business hours to call them?

Thanks, and yeah I'm waiting until Monday. I'm pretty sure the recruiting departments aren't working today.

It depends on many things. Grades, interviewing ability, and a healthy amount of luck to be honest. I was at around 75% last year, to give one unhelpful data point.

I'm curious, what kinds of questions would you ask interviewers?

Varies by firm but you can find this under the EIP results 2015 spreadsheet. A cursory glance makes me think it's about 50%

I am sorry, I should have been clearer with this question. I meant what is the average conversion percentage for a person. If I interview at 20 firms and get 5 callbacks, is that an okay performance?
