Actually, we do. I added up the CLS numbers. There were 128 V10 offers going out to CLS. There were 31 V10 offers going out to Michigan. I would do more number add-ups, but I'd rather get drunk.
This is at least somewhat comparable, but the V10 has always been heavily skewed to CLS. It'd help a lot to get V50, V100, etc, comparisons.
3) We don't have offer distribution so we can't do anything about (2). Anon's attempt to divide by 2 and add 30 or whatever is completely meaningless.
Agreed, though this point was conceded earlier.
Conceding this point renders your final number meaningless. All you have is:
1) X number of offers at Mich.
2) ???
3) 35-40% of people got offers at OCI.
Yeah, but then again, neither do the CLS numbers, so we can still compare them. Recall, no one here is trying to measure how many people in the class are employed. If you're wondering about people who got big firm jobs outside of EIW and OCI, I bet you it's trivial at both CLS and Michigan.
Ultimately, what we're concerned about is total people employed. If Michigan's OCS steered people too far towards Chicago, we could very well be seeing a lot of people getting interviews outside of OCI. As for your conjecture that the number is trivial, I've heard exactly the opposite from other sources, so that point isn't conclusive either.
You gave one somewhat useful data point, but it spawned a really foolish and meaningless thread in response, full of conjecture that's not supportable based on the data we have. I have no dog in the hunt (Michigan sucks, etc) but the point of this thread is to increase the knowledge of the employment situation, not muddle it further with unsubstantiated conjecture.
