OCI screening interviews

[thekid]

Do firms notify you that you have been rejected after a screening interview? Is this by mail or e-mail?  Or do they only contact those they want to call back?

I got rejection letters in the mail from firms I didn't get a call back with, and I got phone calls for callbacks.

What was the average time lapse for the phone callbacks?  I've heard anything from one day to one week.

Most firms do not notify you of a rejection. You will most likely hear only if you receive a callback.

Mine ranged from the evening after the screening interview to up to one week.

The majority of my interviews were the end of this week, so hopefully I'm still in the running.  I know my Tuesday interview = megading, but the rest went really well.

I got notification of my callback about 48 hours after the screening interview. I hear this is about the norm for big firms.

biglaw firms in large markets typically invite you for a callback within 24-48 hours.  i've received a few callbacks 4-5 business days after the screening so i wouldn't freak out if you don't hear immediately.  If you're rejected you can expect a letter in the mail in about a week or so.  i've heard that some firms do e-mail rejections but I have yet to see one in my inbox... let us hope it stays that way. 

oh and you generally get an offer within a week (all of mine came within 4 business days).  again, rejections after a callback interview come in the snail mail.

I've already had 2 experiences of starting to get bummed from not hearing from a firm when they contactd me 4-5 days after the initial interview.  i think sometimes it can be slow during OCI time b/c they may go to a variety of schools within the same week in the same area as your school

I wonder if I am the only one who got notification of a callback via snail mail? I was really surprised because when I saw than thin little letter in the mail, I expected a rejection. FWIW, it came 1 week after my screening interview and after they had done OCIs at other local schools.
