Any market with jobs.

But seriously, it was NYC. Now holding out on two secondary markets I have ties to, no response from either yet.

keep your head up guys. Make sure to follow up on your massmails every 2 weeks or so. Find excuses to "update" your application or just straight up tell them you are writing to reiterate your interest and check your status etc. I am also median at lower t-14 and pulled 3 callbacks in a secondary market from these sorts of updates. You go to a great school and your grades are good enough to not be an auto ding at most places. Keep mass mailing and following up and work any sort of family connection you have. Best of Luck!

God that is the fucking worst. My only hope is that there are multiple waves of callbacks. But I'm starting to think that is a pipe dream.

Yeah that's not at all the same . I also doubt that you've gotten 10 rejections yet.

Do you have a secret strategy where you give each attorney a little love tap after each callback interview? That might be your problem.

So my OCI ended this week and I've yet to receive any CBs. Bid solely NY from a lower T-14...
TCR would be to start mass-mailing now, eh (albeit it being a tad bit late)? What else should I be doing besides, if anything?

What a fucking asshole. It blows my mind how some of the biggest douchebags in my class (like this guy) have multiple CBs.

Good luck, guys. Keep your heads up and just keep moving/mass mailing/applying. Something will bite eventually, you just need to keep the faith while working on and learning from the things you did wrong during screeners.

Massmail. Contact a Professor you liked. Reach out to networking connects. Massmail some more. Class is irrelevant and your whole life is irrelevant right now unless it's connected to getting a job.

Remember Paul that attorney you don't remember meeting that the event you think you went to? Well you're now his best friend and you were REALLY disappointed because his firm was your top choice and blah blah blah blah blah.

Don't get down, but buckle down. It's not over.
