With the offers from 3 V5, 2 V10 and 1 V15, I'm the biggest loser of 'em all!
sorry bout your tiny pink wachtell rejection, dooder
No worries. It's all good.
Anyway, I rejected all the V5 offers so you have a shot at them now if you're still waiting to hear from them. Good luck.

This was a 2 years ago, but I got only 1 offer out of 6 callbacks.
Unusual circumstance though with the Lehman collapse coming right after I got offer #1, but before all the other callbacks.

CCN transfer top 5% at T2
9 callbacks
6 rejections (throughout v100)
1 offer (non v100 pays market)
2 pending
All NYC
Though I would have better luck but am happy with the offer I have. Still waiting on a V5 + V20, but don't have much hope of them pulling through.

NYU, a bit below median, had about a 40% callback:screener ratio, but probably a 10% offer:callback ratio
For me, it was much easier to get callbacks than to get offers.

Same. I landed callbacks from around 50% of my screening interviews. Much lower offer to callback rate. (And haven't heard anything at all from a couple of the firms I did callbacks with.) Really makes me think - is it my grades, interviewing ability, or just product of the market?

5 Call Backs, 3 Dings, waiting on 2 (one for a month now).
No work experience or ties to any particular area, which is what I think is killing me.
What market?
DC, because I had at least lived there before. This process is hell on military brats.
Update! Callbacks rose to 7, and I have one offer (and 1 firm I am still waiting on). But it was my first choice firm that came through (and my close second is the one which still needs to get back to me)! I am so incredibly happy.
Lesson learned though: next time, pick a market which is NOT DC.

T20 tansfer from TT...took 10 out of 12 cbs (engineering ug w/ no w/e)...2 offers, 5 rejections, withdrew from 3 before decision (so like 29%)...as some posters intimated above - it was way easier to score cbs than offers. Prob a result of 1) lower cb/offer ratios for firms or 2) my shtty interviewing skillz.

100%. 1 callback, 1 offer in DC market. Feeling lucky.
To poster above me: Killself isn't a valid option. Don't even joke about that. Just keep sending in applications to in-house, government, smaller firms. BigLaw isn't the end-all be-all of the legal profession, though TLS may lead you to believe otherwise. Apply for court externships, you'll work for free, but the experience is both valuable and fun. Persevere.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
