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.

Are any of these CBs from students not at a t-14? Just wondering if I should drop out while I'm ahead.

Barring being top 5% at a school outside of NYC, mailing a market that's not NYC, I doubt it.

Pillsbury callback (CA office)

Are these Pre OCI CBs more likely to turn into offers since they are earlier in the season?

At non T-14 and have CB at a V20 Chicago office. Top 10% and LR at a school that does well in Chicago.

Cleary NY has made at least one offer.

Latham offer

My school is outside t14. Southern California big law is also moving. I have an offer and 2 callbacks lined up. Saying my school or the firms will definitely out me but I'll update. Networked like hell and good grades.

mid-t14 here. also have socal callbacks with Cooley, Sheppard Mullin, and Latham. i am surprised there has been so much activity here because i had heard before that california firms move glacially compared to NY. anyway, really hope i can get an offer before oci to take the edge off

For what it's worth, lower t14 with callbacks.

Less than a week.

From my experience and talking to other people at my school (CCN), all but one pre-OCI callback turned into an offer. This was spread over 10+ people and more than 40 combined callbacks with V20 offices in NY, DC, and LA.
