Callback scheduling? Forum

[gnewmanoldman]

I'm a 2L going through my school's OCI at the moment. Would scheduling callbacks for the week after next (week of the 25th) hurt my CB to offer conversion? Thanks for any input.

If OP will let me extend his question, what about the week after that? I am in the position of having to double up on numerous days in the next two weeks or push into February. OCI was this week.

I would schedule every callback ASAP. I don't think doubling up on CBs on one day is an issue if they're occurring remotely. I feel like conventional advice on not doubling up is more applicable when they're in person given the stress that comes with traveling, walking around offices, going to CB dinners, etc. Even then, I still doubled up on CBs in person because it is a race to get offers.

I have 3 cbs this Tuesday and 3 on Wednesday, with a few other 2+ days over the next two weeks. I agree with the others that conventional wisdom seems to say you want to schedule as soon as possible, but if that is the week starting the 25th I would just try to schedule in order of your firm preferences.

Anyone think 3 in a day is too much? They’re each only two hours virtual, so it seemed perfectly reasonable to me.

OP. I intentionally maxed out at 2/day. I in general scheduled NY firms for this week and DC firms for next week; most DC firms did not have much/any availability this week anyway.

But don’t forget some schools don’t even have screeners until the last week of January. Fordham, for example.

I think a CB last week of Jan is perfectly fine.
