They'll be in early this afternoon. Post how many interviews.

Might be helpful to go beyond the number to say how many of your top 10 bids/top 20 bids you got as well since the blind bidding is as much about strategy in getting what you want as it is raw numbers of interviews.

Should be interesting... Especially the Chicago #'s

I got 18... looks like most of my top 10. I'll post specifics later.

I got #1-10, 12, 13, 19, 20, 31, 36, 37, 45.

Pretty happy with the ones I got.

14. I was almost 100% Chicago market. (11 in Chicago, 3 in other markets.)

Bid baker and mckenzie 6th and didn't get it. I guess that was a hot item. It seems anything that last year had a median call back of 3.4-3.6 was in huge demand. I did get Wildman, despite bidding on it 25--I guess people are still pissed about all of the offer rescinding.

The one that really surprised me was Sidley. 80 spots and I didn't get it bidding it 8th? There aren't 80 people at NU who even have a remote shot at Sidley ITE.

Yeah, I got 10 of my top 11 (including WC, which was #10 on my list).

[Anonymous User]

Bid 45, Got 16. Must have gotten my bid picked early in the process because I got 1-11 of my bids and then 5 more before I hit 25 on my list. Pretty excited to start this off!

i bid W&C low, didn't get them. got a lot of my other DC bids, though. All in all I got 18 of my top 24 bids. DC was 8-11 & 20-23. The rest were chicago and a secondary. Got all the premiere chicago firms except latham and mayer, which were relatively low and unsurprising. the more "secondary" firms were definitely a hot commodity.

[Anonymous User]

17 interviews. all firms, 4 secondary, others ny/chi. Lowest bid was 39. So last year was 12-15 per student, meaning this year is a bit better in that regard?

[Anonymous User]

17, mostly NY some DC all of top 10. Got Sidley DC with like bid #21.

I didn't bid many firms high that were multiple markets with just 20 slots scheduled - that was probably a factor in getting a good number of my picks.
