Does that mean I'm getting a callback? Am I reading too much into this?

Probably yes. I had an interviewer say, "we'd love to have you in to come meet some people at the firm, how long are you in town?" ... DING

Despite the title of the email, it actually ended up just being an email about how one of their famous lawyers had been ranked highly in a magazine recently... it had absolutely nothing to do with the summer program. 1 week later, I got a ding via email.

I've come to learn not to read anything into law firm recruiting because I think people enjoy getting your hopes up only to crush them.

Just because you're a FA doesn't mean you have to hate on others being adorable

I mean, if someone was going to do that, are you honestly surprised it was me?

But yeah, it was probably a silly thing to do. However, it was right around the time that the firm told me they would get back to me (it was a Thursday evening and they had said that they'd release results by the end of that week, which ended up being inaccurate). Also, the title of their email was "[Firm Name] Summer Associate Program!" with an exclamation point. Based on the circumstances, I just assumed it would be an offer/ding.

Anyway, the point was that throughout the OCI process, it is so easy to try to infer things from what firms say/do that it is just better to assume you're dinged until you actually get an offer.
