See my screed above for why picking up empty slots at Michigan is not all that useful for procuring extra interviews.Considering that you can pick up empty slots, think about this for 2-3 minutes.

It's open to debate. Still absolutely no harm in giving extra bids, though, even if it wouldn't necessarily result in more interviews. I think Berkeley realized this in its decision to give unlimited bids...Extra interviews in Milwaukee and Seattle maybe. Not in NYC/CA/Chi/DC.

I don't think it's open to debate. Are there firms in major markets that aren't totally filled during bidding? If not, more bids is useless.Anonymous User wrote:It's open to debate.

I think one problem with unlimited bids is it encourages bidding in markets with no ties, or to firms that you have zero shot with. That downside probably isn't a big deal. But the 30 rule didn't harm peoples job prospects.

So more bids is not useless.
I strongly doubt that that's OCS's reason for not allowing unlimited bids. Either way, who cares what reasons law students have for bidding on a firm? Didn't seem to hurt Berkeley if the NLJ numbers are accurate...I think one problem with unlimited bids is it encourages bidding in markets with no ties, or to firms that you have zero shot with.

Re: Top 50 go-to law schools 2012
While most of the firms that had open slots were smaller market firms, there were definitely firms with major market offices that had open spots that people were able to grab at like 6 am. So I agree w/anon Michigan screed guy/girl.Anonymous User wrote:I'm the same person who posted the Michigan screed.

Especially late in OCI. NU's longer OCI helps with that: people get callbacks or even offers, drop slots, then leave them open for others.rayiner wrote:We had 50 bids and still had open slots people were able to grab.

At Michigan I managed to pick up 4 extra screeners with fairly major firms and got a few CBs out of them (without running around early in the morning). I also had 22 screeners from strategic bidding. Of course I was targeting CA so things were a bit easier for me.

It is? Why? NYU is doing well considering the economy, exactly as you would expect a top-5 school to perform. And if you think it's low, well...the economy is down.law2015 wrote:

The biggest shockers (in a good way) were West Virginia and Missouri. I was also mildly surprised by U-Washington.
