I don't know what it is about law school, but it feels like I'm always dropping the ball. Just finished an interview for a clinic and can't help but feel like all my answers were rambling and borderline incoherent. Some of the questions surprised me and I guess my answers probably sounded scattered. Maybe it's just my imagination, but I doubt it.

I didn't get a callback for what I felt was by far my strongest OCI, and I am currently employed at a firm for which I was confident I completely bombed my OCI.

Reflect and learn but don't dwell.

This. Try to get feedback through practice interviews if you can. They’ll be a better indicator of performance, because how you felt you did often has little to do with how your interviewers feel you did.
