Hiring committee in the past (last 2 cycles) has met in the middle of the week. Likely won't hear anything until Wednesday or Thursday at the earliest.

Thank you. They did say it would take a week so I wasn't expecting to know I just wanted to contribute what I could.

Has anyone heard from Latham more than 2 weeks after their callback? I did a callback around August 10th and haven't heard anything since. Am I in the grey zone of a waitlist or is that essentially a ding considering it's been roughly 3 weeks now...

Pircher generally only hires one or two summers. They likely won't make a decision until everyone is interviewed.

1-2 weeks out from all of my CBs and haven't heard anything at all. Anyone in a similar boat?

Seriously? What are you waiting for?
