School OCI Data Forum

I'm a rising 2L at Emory. Here is a list of the number of employers participating in various interview "sessions":

Emory August OCI: 27
Emory in NY: 17
Emory in DC: 5
August Resume Collection: 36
Texas Interview Program: 2
Chicago Resume Collection: 5
Southern California Interview Program: 6
New England Interview Program: 11

multiple rounds or is this the only round of OCI for Emory? Either way this is brutal. good luck with your job search

There is also a September OCI. They haven't posted those employers yet though.

I distinguish between OCI and off-campus interview programs, but to be honest, I'm not sure exactly why. An interview is an interview

So counting all the non-resume-collect numbers, is that 68 total for Emory OCI? That's not bad.

Call me old fashioned but emory in D.C. is not OCI that is part of the off-campus recruitment program... for tradition OCI, the 27# is the appropriate metric. I hope that others haven't included Off-campus re recruitment programs as unique employers...

This. The WashU off campus program in NYC had 16 unique employers, DC had about 10, Atlanta had 6, NorthEast had 15, and not sure how many the West Coast off campus interview program had. These numbers were not included in the original 65 unique employers number. We also have 3 more rounds of OCI to go. All combined about a 100 unique employers (firms only/ not sure about PI/gov't stuff) will be traveling to St. Louis to recruit from WUSTL not counting the off campus stuff.

However, a lot of these firms will be granting interviews/CBs/offers to the same people so that number can be misleading

It's true that "off-campus interviews" shouldn't be counted as part of OCI, but I think they're still way better than resume collects. In fact, given that they are entirely pre-screened (at least the NYC/DC ones are), that bodes well for those picked.

I'm really shocked that Emory has done so poorly. Notre Dame makes sense to me because of its lack of a home market, but you would think Emory would at least own Atlanta. It's inexplicable.

I am a little stunned at this too. But I'd wait to see what the other rounds of OCI draw, perhaps it is not as bad as it seems presently.

Emory had 29 Unique employers at last years fall OCI, so the fact that they have 27 this year isn't exactly shocking.

ATL ran a timely article on Emory this past week; it's caught a lot of attention:

truth. august OCI may be shit, but 10 interviews from the NYC program > resume collects.

true. I got an interview from the NYC off-campus interview program at a firm I would easily give my first born to get a chance to work for. Somehow I don't think that would have happened through resume collect or mass mail

There aren't that many big firms in Atlanta to begin with and a lot of the smaller firms are probably just riding out the recession with the workforce they already have.

More concrete NU information:

155 employers.
-4 government employers.
- 33 multi-office listings.
= 118 unique law firm employers.

[selfloathingtransfer]

I haven't seen anything about USC's OCI. Anybody?

(Reposting information on another thread)

George Mason University:
38 total employers + 40 Resume collect
Class size around 235

Does anyone have info on BU's OCI?

Illinois OCI:

6 more at an off-campus interview program in Indy
21 resume collects
Class Size ~210

Not sure on the exact numbers but Career Services mentioned that some of the employers they lost last year have "come back". Interpret that how you will.

Edit: Added this info on my post on page #1. Will be updating there now.

For those of us who don't want to look through this thread and like to compare/contrast, keeping in mind class sizes vary, some #s may include multiple rounds of OCI, etc etc, thus far:

CLS - 138 unique employers

NYU - 137 unique employers and 450 offices/employers overall

Boalt - 233 interviewers (including multiple offices) and around 132 unique employers, 20 of which are government or PI. ~140 distinct employers. Some of the employers with single entries are interviewing for "firm-wide" or "nation-wide" positions so who knows how many offices we're talking about. (Giving a conservative "5" offices to those, it somes to 523 offices). Probably a more important metric is 4941 2L interview slots (>16 slots per 2L if our class size goes up by 10 counting transfers and 100% participate). These numbers do not include quite a few resume-collection listings.

Michigan - There are officially 160 firms participating, and they are interviewing for a total of about 425 office locations (a lot of firms are interviewing for multiple offices). There are also maybe 50-60 firms right now that are not coming to OCI but that are collecting resumes from interested students.

UVA - 169 unique employers and 563 offices coming to campus.

Duke - 122 individual employers (2 overlaps between round 1 and 2 that I could see). There are about 110 firms, and then some PI and gov't. I counted about 365 offices (including multiple offices)

NU – 155 employers.-4 government employers.- 33 multi-office listings.= 118 unique law firm employers. doesn't include the unique firms at regional recruitment

Cornell - 220-250 interviewers (including multiple offices). Cornell has ~118 individual employers which includes a handful or two of government/PI entities

Georgetown - 467 offices. Non-IP firms = about 110 individual employers. A few firms have been added or removed since then, and some have removed or added just an office or two, but that number is about right. There are 72 lines/offices represented for IP. I haven't counted the number of individual employers there are, but I'm guessing around 20-25.

Texas - 92 unique firms [plus 45 resume collects]. 277 firm offices [plus 105 resume collects]. 69 non-firm offices [53 of which are our friends at the IRS]

UCLA - 163 employers participating at the moment (didnt feel like counting the total offices), about 15-20 seem to just be resume collection.

Vandy - 82 unique employers

WUSTL - WUSTL is now at about 85, not including off-camus programs. Two more rounds left that haven't opened up yet.

GW - ~121 unique employers at OCI (some do have the multiple bid options, but theres only like two firms with more than 5 or so--if you add the regional programs, its closer to 130-40 unique employers). Many bid options include a footnote with something like "no multiple interviews" which means that the OCI interviewer represents multiple offices. Oh, and yes, theres over 30 interview slots that are for "science/technical degrees" only.

Illinois - 40 unique employers on campus. 6 more at an off-campus interview program in Indy. 21 resume collects

Emory - 27 law firms coming to OCI, then another ~10 in its NY program, 1 in DC, and various resume collects.

ND - 39 firms coming to interview. 79 employment opportunities

IU – B - around the same as ND.

Wisconsin - 49 employers at OCI this fall (30 in phase one), plus a handful of firms "collecting resumes".

Fordham - 125 distinct employers coming, just in our first week. Nearly all are large firms. Counting interview opportunities for separate offices, and the handful asking for patent bar eligible students only, that number climbs to 202+

George Mason University - 38 total employers + 40 Resume collect

Hastings - 92 unique employers coming on campus.

UF - 32 unique employers coming to campus, 43 counting resume collects for EIW

Tulane - 36 employers at through round one. around 50-60 opportunities for on-campus recruiting total

Pepperdine – About 110 Unique Employers. About 200 other employers doing resume collects.

Houston - 90 employers (roughly 80 unique and a few with multiple locations)

St. John's- 28 firms coming for OCI this year

Catholic - 22 OCI; 21 Resume Collect; 11 New Hampshire Interview Program; 6 Boston Interview Program

UCI is only like in the 30's. 40's if you count resume collection

Edited to add new info. Help fill in the blanks if you can!

^ Wow. Thx, man. That must have been a pain, but it's awesome. Much appreciated.

[let/them/eat/cake]

way to go on the compilation. FTR, we did this in another thread, but i'm pretty sure Cornell has ~118 individual employers which includes a handful or two of government/PI entities, if u want to add that to the chart. i broke it down in one of the cornell threads

[Anonymous User]

Another round has opened up at WUSTL. 21 employers have signed up so far, so total at WUSTL is now at about 85, not including off-camus programs. Two more rounds left that haven't opened up yet.

[rundoxierun]

umm... pepperdine is killing it??

[GMVarun]

thanks for compiling that list. it might be helpful to include the number of students at each school. right now it seems difficult to compare

edit: nvm, you already made that point. i'll look around for class data and perhaps post it when i get the chance.
