Hi,
If the two other partners give you great feedbacks and you were pretty good in the first round - you will get an offer.
However, they should have the arguments to defend you in the borderline situation. Thus I always recommend the candidates to demonstrate not just mediocre but an extreme performance:
- Being super structured
- Demonstrating very solid business judgment
- Demonstrating great and memorable achievements in the stories
- Asking smart questions and having a great conversation at the end

Hi,
usually one single less than perfect interview does not mean that you do not get an offer, even if this interview is the last one (i.e. with a senior partner).
If you've done a good job in the previous interviews, this will be seen just as an accident, unless the last interview was not a complete disaster (which does not seem the case). It is not necessary to be absolutely perfect.
