Anyone heard from Latham Chicago re: callbacks yet? Had my screener with them one week ago, and I know their posted LEAD timeline says callbacks don't start until July 10th

Have many people been getting offers in Chicago? Specifically K&E, Sidley, McDermott, and Ropes.

Is it too late to apply to firms pre-OCI? I sent out a first round in mid-June and a handful earlier this week, but I’ve not gotten a ton of interest. Is it worthwhile to try to send out a few more prior to OCI?

Yes, keep applying to as many as you can stomach. Worst case scenario, you've demonstrated interest in the firm that will show up during OCI. Best case scenario, you get an offer and don't have to do OCI.

How does the Cravath CB work when it's all virtual? It seems like they still do the all-day format, so do we get bathroom/lunch breaks?

Lol nope. When was your callback? And was it with the corporate group?

My last interview was on Friday with the corporate group. I applied through the ACE program.
