OCI Screener -> Callback Forum

[Anonymous User]

Generally how long after OCI screeners are callbacks? Are the callback interviews usually the following week? My school has OCI next week and I'm wondering how quick a turnaround I should expect for the actual callback interview to be scheduled. Thank you.

My school had OCI already. Vast majority of firms extended CB offers the day after. A few took longer, like 2 days. Can't remember any firms taking like a week or something, though

You could also get the callback on the same day, which is pretty common. A week is not unheard of, but still very rare.

OP here. Sorry guys, I wasn't clear. When are the callbacks usually scheduled *for*? Like, will firms have callbacks the week after screeners, the same week, two weeks after, the next month, etc.? Edited original post for clarity. Thanks!

At my school, starting whenever OCI ends.

When it comes time to schedule callbacks, is there any advantage to scheduling for a sooner date vs. a later date? Is there a sense in which the summer class “fills up,” and candidates that interview towards the end have to meet a higher bar?

At my school, CBs occurred during the two weeks following OCI week

You should probably schedule the callbacks at firms you want more first. It signals interest, may increase odds, and allows you to cut less desired firms if you get an offer.
