The stress of waiting to hear from firms after callbacks is killing me, and it's only been less than a week. Particularly when I know one of my USC friends just got an offer.
Pleasssseeee I don't wanna strike out with a 3.46. Only got 4 callbacks.

Can't disclose, but one of the firms with a bigger summer class size. All the firms I'm interviewing with have smaller class sizes, so maybe they take longer.

Nobody's mentioned the firms I had screeners with. I had a shitload of screeners too. It's pretty unnerving how long some firms are taking to get back to people about CBs.

well at least for stradling, the e-mail they sent said it'd take 8-12 days and it's only been 11. haha.
i'm still waiting on a ton of firms as well; not looking good. haven't had much action in the last 5 days or so, today included.

Yea. Not a lot of movement here either. I'm starting to freak out a bit. I don't know whether or not this is justified though.Lasers wrote:well at least for stradling, the e-mail they sent said it'd take 8-12 days and it's only been 11. haha.

+1. Still waiting to hear back from 7/15 screeners (of the other 8 that I've heard from, I've had 5 CBs and 3 dings). It's been almost a week since my first CB and I'm going crazy waiting for final news about whether or not I get an offer. I'm pretty scared that I'm not going to get a single offer!chimp wrote:Yea.
