S&C "Callback card"
I did a screener with S&C today and am competitive grade-wise but not a lock. At the beginning of the interview, the interviewer gave me a card entitled "What to expect if you receive a callback invitation" that he called a "callback card." The front of the card says those receiving callbacks will get a phoencall within a few days. The back, however, says that S&C hosts a dinner that evening for students receiving callbacks and will be invited via email following the conclusion of the day's interviews.
I was not invited to a dinner, but I know for a fact that the dinner happened. But I also know that not everyone who interviewed with them received that card.
Did anyone else receive the card and not get an invite? So confused. I thought receiving the card in the first place was a great sign.

NY.
To the poster above, I get your point but a) he didn't give it to everyone and b) i got invited to another top firm's dinner at the beginning of the interview.

Re: S&C "Callback card"
Is the text of the card not self-explanatory?

Re: S&C "Callback card"
Got a callback tonight.
.
No dinner invite though the day of the interview, but the back of my "Callback Card" is different than how you described
Do you go to CLS?
The back of the letter says "We will be hosting an offer dinner for Columbia students to give you the opportunity to meet more of our lawyers in a casual setting and to learn more about S&C.
Wednesday, September 12th
6:30 PM
--Location--"
Every person got one that I knew. Maybe for those that DIDN'T get one, maybe the interviewer forgot? Or felt awkward about giving it out to every person and refused to hand it out?

Re: S&C "Callback card"
I don't go to CLS (lower T14, if that outs me, whatever). Mine doesn't have a location on it, and obviously the dinner was a callback dinner not an offer dinner. I guess you impliedly addressed my question, though, and I guess S&C likes to give all applicants the dates of their next rounds.Anonymous User wrote:Got a callback tonight.

Seems stupid: if you are going to extend a callback/offer, give the person the details when you do so. No sense making me feel bad about not getting invited to something I would ahve had no idea about otherwise.

Re: S&C "Callback card"
yeah, it's pretty tacky.
I mean, every CLS person could technically show up to this thing. It has the date, time, and location. I wouldn't put it past my ass burger classmates to do so.

Re: S&C "Callback card"
Agreed. I just felt like the text on mine was telling me to reserve time for dinner. Oh well. Great firm, but f that. Onto the next ones.Anonymous User wrote:yeah, it's pretty tacky.
