I think OCI biding results are released today. Anyone know what time? Because I'm probably going to be sitting on the OCI tab at work all day hitting F5.

Yep, they're being released today, but they haven't announced the time. On some past thread (last year's EIW thread, I think), I read that they were released around noon-1pm on the past.

Fingers crossed! Good luck.

EIW schedules just came out. I got 6 slots. Is that on the low end?

im not sure. I figured we would receive 15, but this wasn't based on anything in particular. I got 11.

Based on last year's thread, yeah that's on the low end. But you'll have plenty of opportunities to pick up more during open sign-up.

I got 18, but 7 of those are IP only.

Damn. I though I had played the numbers game pretty well for the most part.

Thanks. Yeah I'll have to do my best to take advantage of that.

10 interviews here, 8 New York.

Stupid question: Does bid order matter at all when submitting to the "Request for Resumes"? I assume not, and it's just a limitation of symplicity that they need to be ordered, but anyone know for sure?

[Anonymous User]

I got 10 also: 7 NYC, 3 DC.

Got bid #s 1,2,3,5,6,8,11,16,17,and 29.

Wow! Just wondering, are you going to Loyola PLIP this week? How did you handle OCI bids for firms that you did and didn't get Loyola preselects for? Curious because I struggled forever with that.

PLIP conflicted with my summer employment, so I'm not going. Good luck with it though.

I got 15 (non-IP).

[Anonymous User]

21(all nyc) 1-21 before the system kicked me out. No IP and all big nyc firms with big classes. I got lucky but I think average is like 12.

I'm this Anon and thanks for the congratulations. Also, if anyone is willing to trade for the following firms: Kramer Levin (NYC), Riker ( NJ) Kelley Dyre(NY), I would be interested and have a lot of flexibility to trade. I have pretty much every NYC firm with a GPA between 3.2-3.45.

I've heard from upper classman we can coordinate a switch by dropping at an odd time at say 2 a.m. and then we each pick up the one that the other dropped.

Blackjack --

are you saying you want those firms or that you are willing to get rid of those firms?

[Anonymous User]

I want those firms. And would be willingly to see what someone else offers but id wait until add drop opens on the 5th but just throwing some ideas out there early. What is the general consensus on trading?

-Blackjack

[Robespierre]

You got 21 screeners and you call yourself Blackjack. I see what you did there. Congrats.

Anyone getting invites to receptions?

[yips]

Grats! I got Journal of Law and Public Policy. Anyone knows how we are supposed to put this on our resume? Do we say an offer was extended or what?

I second this question. "Staff, Georgetown Journal of X, 2013?" Is that too bold? I don't want to do anything improper.

Example from Hoya Headlines:

Georgetown University Law Center, Washington, DC
Juris Doctor, expected May 2014
GPA: 3.62
Journal: Georgetown Immigration Law Journal

If you all have questions about journal stuff or EIW, I'm happy to answer and I know there are a few other GULC people who can chime in here. Otherwise, I'll stay out of your thread Good luck!
