Network hustling all last year and throughout the summer. All of my callbacks are firms coming to OCI. But they're more than happy to move early if you're a decent candidate and have made connections.

Big TX callback scheduled, will post details after I go through it.

Hustling. If your grades are high and/or you're attractive in some other way (IP/diverse/worked in biglaw before in some capacity/have a current summer associate position already), many firms are willing to straight up call you back based on simply emailing them. Usually it's a combination of grades + one of the other factors listed, but grades alone can do it if they're high enough.
