There should be updates throughout the day. The email last night said a number of firms missed the 11pm deadline, so there would be some rolling updates as the day goes on, and not everything right at 10am.

Anyone with preselects/alts with the any of the above, feel free to burst my bubble. :evil:
Think there's a few more as well:

Pillsbury
Baker Hostetler
Mayer Brown
Hogan Lovellis (though somebody did post they got a DC preselect from them)
dewey and pillsbury are in. anyone hear from ropes?

How strong is your WE?

Edit--this is a general question for anyone who bid heavily on NYC and is doing comparatively well.

Nothing's changed for me either. Have 3 firms on the extension list. Here's hoping they're keen on interviewing lots of us.

Hey...know that as a transfer I might be upsetting some by posting here. So, if I do - know that I recognize where I came from was not as competitive as UVa, and I'm damn grateful to be a part of your school. That said, I found the results i received interesting from OCI so i thought I would share.

Incoming stats: #1 at high tier 2.

Did well in DC, Wilmington, Philly.

Got absolutely slaughtered in the regional markets. No bids at all. Bizarre. Particularly since I'm a Virginian with extensive Virginia WE.

Good luck to everyone.
