Am I screwed?

I'm a 2L at an MVP and so far I have one callback (which I have yet to hear back from) and no offers. I've sent out over forty independent apps and have not heard anything. My grades put me roughly in the top 1/3 of my class and I interview well. I'll keep mass mailing, but I'm starting to feel hopeless and defeated. I don't know what's going wrong.
So...am I screwed? Is there anything else I can do?

Sounds like you *think* you interview well.
You're not screwed, but go talk to your career services people and see if they can figure out where you're going wrong.

What's the use in asking this question? Whether you are or you aren't, the advice is the same. Stop reading tea leaves.

Yep, talk to career services and go through some practice interviews. And keep mass mailing, if you're in top 1/3 at MVP you should get some more screeners. Apply everywhere

OP here - To clarify: I went to my career services office and had a mock and discussed my techniques. They said I'm great at it.
I know the question in the post isn't entirely productive, but I also asked if there's anything else I can do other than massmailing, which I'm doing. I get the sentiment though.

Nope, I think it's pretty much mass mailing/networking/whatever else from here on out until you have an offer.
