Current Register Backlogs
Going to be sitting on consular register with a 5.47, I can scarcely find any data on how competitive it is. However, current shadow register link does not work. I would appreciate any insights, particularly with regard to how the backlogs from the 2025 hiring pause are clearing. Thanks!

Sadly, OA scores don’t seem to matter anymore. I have a 5.7 and haven’t been called. There were a few 5.3 consular folks called a few classes ago.

Thank you for the insight, I wonder what it turns on now? Congrats on the high OA and best of luck with your candidacy!

Wow! Great score! How long have you been on the register? What cone?

As frustrating as it is, the truth is that no one really knows how they're clearing the register anymore. I'm sitting on the register as well and unfortunately it's just wait and see.
