I've had 7 callbacks with another on the way this week, and have so far only received one rejection and a whole lot of silence. These are typically V100 firms in Chi with a few mid-sized. Most are small summer classes. Wondering what is likely going on at this point? Seemed like they all went well. Have heard of a few offers at some of the firms, but so far no rejections with those.

Someone help! Wondering what my chances are of striking out rn....

hate to belabor a point brought up on almost every forum here, but stop wondering and just keep mass mailing. and if you can, call up your OCS ASAP (before your next callback) and ask them if you can do a practice run or something--there might be something you're doing that they can point out and help you fix before you go in again. good luck!

This is your issue. Yield is a much bigger problem for small classes than large classes. Firms have to be careful about not over-offering and getting bigger classes than they bargained for. The good news is, you're not out of contention until you get a rejection letter. The bad news is you still have to keep hustling.

For now, assume your rejection letters are sitting on some secretary's desk and start mass mailing. Target New York, any market you have the slightest of ties to, and then New York again.

I'm in the same position. Not sure if I should be happy I haven't been rejected yet post cb or worried I have no offer yet. I knew Chicago was slow but wow...

Both. You should be worried in the sense that the worry should motivate you to keep on moving and hustling. But, that's not to say you're out yet. This seems to be a common thing this year (every year?). And, if you know that a firm has given out at least one ding, then you clearly could be worse off.

Think I'm in the same boat. They probably won't give out more offers until people formally reject them. Cross your fingers that the people with offers turn them down soon rather than sitting on them until they expire?

PSA: if you have an offer you're not planning on accepting please call/email/smoke signal the firm instead of just ignoring it for a month
