I'm not quite at that level, still waiting on 4, but yeah, it's disconcerting. My career services office said it's possible I'll never hear from them one way or the other... do we think that's true?

Unequivocally yes, it's possible. Recruiting is a massive administrative burden, and if the firm spends the majority of their time in recruiting in through screeners, then planning CBs and making decisions, it's entirely possible they might not ever let non-selected candidates know they weren't considered for future employment. As the firm gets bigger, generally the communication improves, but that's no guarantee.

*sigh* Thanks for the info. Not what I wanted to hear but good to know nonetheless.

FWIW, I've heard from 9/17 firms, so just barely over half. That said, I know the smaller boutiques tend to move slower (and several told me as much) so if it's a big firm you're waiting on, I wouldn't hold your breath.

Is it worth following up with big firms that have been silent? Considering we did screeners almost two weeks ago?

I have only heard from Foley (ding). Still waiting on everyone else [Fish (Minn), Thompson Coburn, Sidley (Dallas), Alston Bird (ATL), Finnegan (ATL), etc...]

I know of CBs and (in some cases) offers at all the firms listed.

If I don’t get an offer after 24 hrs of CB . . .is this a DING? Did anyone get an offer after few days after CB?

One firm invited me to come for an all day interview next week and another firm kindly said no thank you. But, I still haven't heard from my number one choice. Has any one who interviewed with the following firms gotten a call back request or a rejection? I just want to know if they are still making up their minds or should I just be waiting for a rejection email....

Fish & Richardson
Brooks Kushman
Snell & Wilmer
Ropes & Gray
Oblon, McClelland, Maier & Neustad
Lowenstein Sandler
Hughes Hubbard & Reed
Dorsey & Whitney
Price Heneveld
Nixon Peabody
Holland & Hart
Fogg & Powers

Thanks....

Hughes Hubbard called for CB on August 11.
