Do people receiving CB's mean it's a no?

Post by Anonymous User » Tue Aug 18, 2015 9:47 am

At a T50, waiting to hear back from around 10 firms. Others have heard from most of them, does that mean it's likely a no?

I've started mass mailing and was lucky enough to get 2 CB's but just wondering.

As in until I receive a no, most of the time it's not a no?

Thanks for the quick reply.

It's very likely a no. It might not be, and if so, great. But don't let some hope of the silence turning into CBs deter you from otherwise hustling, as your school's career services might advise.

If you know other people have heard "yes" then it is almost guaranteed to be "no" unless it is a firm with a limited SA class and they may offer you if the other person turns them down (this is not always the case, bc some regional biglaw firms will offer one person and if he/she turns down then that's it).

And don't forget that CBs can come at different times from different interviewers.
