32 -- Philly, NYC, Boston, and a couple secondary markets as well.

21, I think I got every firm I hoped to definitely get except one.

[PennBull]

I got 30, but only 8 of my top 11.

I'd be willing to trade 2 or 3 of my interviews for one of my top 11 that I missed--Arent Fox NY, Latham NY, and dla piper NY. PM me if you'd like to try and make a deal!

Did not bid on any of those or I would trade with you. 30 is pretty good! I wonder if there are more spots in aggregate this year.

[r6_philly]

I don't think we trade until after waitlist. But I'd love that CIA one.

25 interviews, with 18 of my top 20. Basically all NY.

Pretty happy overall, although surprised that both firms I missed out of the top 20 went so quickly

Math works! I just bid the few that were particularly interesting to me, and then bid based on interview size/estimated popularity. There's no real difference to me between X and Y firms for the most part as long as they pay market salary haha.

24 total, 17 of my top 20.

[Anonymous User]

wait, we can trade? are y'all being serious?

[drd]

What firms were people getting above 20? I guess would be helpful for next year's class. I got 18 out of top 20, but only 2 above 20 (Cadwalader and Dechert)

And yes I believe trading is OK

[dpk711]

The firms I got out of the top 20 were Patterson, Stroock, Hughes Hubbard, Cravath, Quinn Emanuel and DPW (all NY offices).

[r6_philly]

Patterson, Cahill, Latham, Fitzpatrick, Millbank.

I didn't expect to not get Kirkland and Skadden with top 10.

[PennBull]

Patterson, Cahill, Latham, Fitzpatrick, Millbank.

What office for Latham?

I have heard folks say that you couldn't get Skadden 5th.

I had Skadden 5th. Latham LA.

That's 3 people I know who didn't get them 5th haha crazy. I put them foist.

Wow @ Latham. Only 8 slots, and after 20? Not bad not bad.

High demand apparently! I couldn't put them beyond the first four. Although if people are getting Cravath after 20 then I should have at least moved it down behind Skadden.

CA firms were easy to get it seems.

Same with Skadden although apparently I stood absolutely no chance bidding them in my top 15

Also missed Sidley even though I bid them top 10

Damn, so close.

Does anyone know how this waitlist works? I don't really get why anybody would be dropping firms between now and the end of the drop period (other than those who got offers from their 1L firms and decide to skip OCI, or public interesty types who decide to bail on OCI). Also, if for example I had Sidley at #10 and someone else had it at #11, does that mean I get priority on the waitlist?

Is everyone actually ready to do 25-30 interviews? Maybe people pick and choose what they want. There already some empty spots on the schedules I am on, so I assume some people already canceled.

Also firms may add spots if there is a high demand?

I don't think most 1L SA would get an offer before the schedule is final.

I'm definitely not doing all of mine, but there's no way I'm canceling any of them until I have an opportunity to trade some and do some 2-for-1 or 3-for-1 deals.

If anyone wants to know what I got after 20, PM me.
