Should we expect callback invites over the weekend?
In general, but more specifically for firms interviewed on Friday

Re: Should we expect callback invites over the weekend?
I don't imagine that anyone who works over the weekend at a law firm does so to call law students.

Generally, no. But it can happen. I received a CB on a Saturday after doing a screener the day before.HellfirePeninsula wrote:I don't imagine that anyone who works over the weekend at a law firm does so to call law students.

What does it mean when you get a generic "we are considering you" email from recruiting over the weekend after a Monday interview?tyrant_flycatcher wrote:Generally, no. But it can happen.

Several v20 firms have given out callbacks today (Saturday). Not sure about Sunday, though.

Re: Should we expect callback invites over the weekend?
Are rejections typically given out at same time as CBs? Did rejections come by email or snail mail last year? People have been getting emails it seems but I wonder if some rejections have already been sent by snail mailAnonymous User wrote:Several v20 firms have given out callbacks today (Saturday).

Re: Should we expect callback invites over the weekend?
It depends on the firm, and it depends on their evaluation of you. You might not be current CB material, but if some of their other candidates turn down CBs/offers, they might hold off on rejecting you in case they want to offer a CB later in the game. As an overly general rule, assumes you're still in the game until you get communication from the firm stating otherwise.Anonymous User wrote:Are rejections typically given out at same time as CBs?

Thanks! What does it mean if I've heard no news from the same firm for which my some of classmates got callback invites and others got rejection emails? Am I in a waitlist like position?Anonymous User wrote:I called the people I interviewed at an OCI and sent them callback invite emails last Saturday.

Re: Should we expect callback invites over the weekend?
Same office? Same interviewer? The way my firm works is the person who interviewed the candidate is who makes the callback offer (so you could get it a day or so later than others because the person extending the offer is out of pocket). Occasionally certain offices could take longer to approve who we are recommending for callbacks and we will go ahead and get the callbacks out for the other offices. My firm doesn't have a waitlist. People get callbacks or don't - even if zero people accepted their callback invite we wouldn't go back and invite more.Anonymous User wrote:Thanks!

I'm sure other firms do things differently though. Sounds like the firm you are interviewing with could have such a waitlist as rejections usually coming from recruiting, are generic and come at the same time. I wouldn't give up hope yet.

Re: Should we expect callback invites over the weekend?
Thank you! If you are still here, does a personalized request from a recruiter for a transcript after the interview (because the interviewer forgot to ask for it) imply that the interviewer wants to extend a callback, or is on the fence?Anonymous User wrote: Same office?

Re: Should we expect callback invites over the weekend?
I would say that they are considering you but can't extend a callback without knowing your grades and if you meet the cutoff. If you were a firm no then they wouldn't waste their time asking for your transcript.Anonymous User wrote:Thank you!

Re: Should we expect callback invites over the weekend?
A few hours after I submitted the transcript, some of my peers received callbacks from the interviewer in question. I did not. Does this mean I'm out of the running on account of my grades? It's hard for me to discern the extent to which my lack of callbacks is a function of interviewing skills versus grades. I've gotten 3 transcript requests following interviews and 0 callbacks from these firms. Interviews were last week, so there might still be hope, but most of my classmates are sitting on far more callback offers at this point.Anonymous User wrote:I would say that they are considering you but can't extend a callback without knowing your grades and if you meet the cutoff.
