Anyone know the odds of getting an offer after a CB from Goodwin Procter, Fitzpatrick Cella, Frommer Lawrence, and Paul Hastings?

Depends on when you do the CB, your grades, the school you come from, the firm's relationship with your school, how big they're planning to make their class this year, your personality, the location/office of the firm, etc.

Safe to say probably no less than 30% and no greater than 100%?

Historic (i.e. better times) data from a T6:

Goodwin: A bit over 50%
Fitzpatrick: No data
Frommer: 0%
PH: ~60-70%

That means that 70% of those called back got an offer as a summer associate? wow...

Data from last year from CLS:

Fitzpatrick: 40%
Goodwin: ~66%
Frommer: No data
Paul Hastings: ~50%

But from a T2 school, which I am at, the numbers will be much lower?

Not necessarily. The fact that you got a callback from a T2 school means they probably like you a lot already. Honestly, does it matter? You have to go and rock it out either way.

Statistics only matter as a general predictor; they don't guarantee or even assure success or failure. What if the offer rate was only 1%, but it turned out you had something in common with the 1% from your school that got one every year?

Go out and rock it, and don't sweat it. It doesn't matter what the odds are, it matters how you do. You're being given a chance to sell yourself, so sell yourself instead of sweating statistics.

Or to put it another way:

CLS gives us a sheet with EIP numbers broken out by firm - number of bids, screeners, callbacks extended, callbacks accepted, offers, and acceptances.

Be sure to print off all the OCS data you can find for firms whose CB:offer ratio is better than 50%. Then, when you are interviewing with partners for the callback, just drop the statistics on their desk, say "I'm willing to bet on these odds," and walk away.

Thanks a lot! Hopefully I can land an offer from one of them!

y not just ask your school for this information?

edit: since bidding is over everywhere, this information is totally irrelevant and will not help in any decision-making.

1/12 for Sheppard? OUCH.

How about Orrick or Sidley (NYC)?

Any info on WilmerHale?
