Re: BP reads your tea leaves

I had a lunch interview with a few partners for a particular practice group (entry level). They said they would contact me after the bar but urged me to contact them with any questions. The interview was laid back and more personality based, and I think it went well. Should I email/call them with additional questions after the bar or just sit tight? Already sent thank you emails.

Read tea leaf:

Harvard transfer at ~median. Summering at mid law firm in CA/FL/PA/NC. Firm usually brings in 1 or 2 summers out of 3 or 4 (25-50% offer rate based on market). Good reviews except for 1 from jr associate related to work product. Other summers are from local school(s) with median gpa. Went to all firm events.
