19 callbacks from a T20? Just when I thought this thread couldn't possibly be less representative, it managed to top itself...

[ManoftheHour]

There's going to be 0Ls reading this and resulting in them jumping straight into law school.

I go to a T20 and had over 50 screeners set up independent of mass mailing. A lot of them do job fairs.

[Anonymous User]

T-20 with 50+ screeners as well. Job fairs and 100% preselect. Is fairly common at schools in our range.

I think they meant that 44 screeners is super high for most schools, so it doesn't seem believable...that is the most I have heard of too

Started mass mailing in mid-July. Don't wait until after OCI, that's just dumb.

[RaceJudicata]

woah. My bad hah -- not doubting it, or calling anyone a liar. But 44 screeners (if s/he actually accepted/participated in them all) is an INSANE number. The thought of having to endure 44 screeners makes me nauseous

People, stop fighting about this. All the posts here are equally verifiable, which is to say, not at all, so there's little point debating which one is/isn't flame. Personal insults will get get you outed in future. And the person who reported this post as off-topic, responding to comments by insulting someone's school/rank/job success is no less off topic, and doesn't make you look like a great human being.

[BigZuck]

I don't know if I go to a T20 or a T18 or a T15 but I did 34 screeners when it came to OCI, career fairs, and mass mailing and I turned a good number down as well (maybe like 5? I can't remember). I'm nowhere near the top 10%.

You guys can just let this thread be useful for what it is or TLS it to death, it's your collective call. I tend to think more data is useful than less data (with appropriate grains of salt, etc.) but I know it's hard for TLSers to not TLS so carry on if you guys absolutely must.

I'm sorry for insulting the bottom 30% of CCN. Best of luck to those people in OCI and the ensuing legal temp market. I'll be GTFOing now.
