Okay, I got 16, NYC with a bit of DC.

8 top 10.

Didn't land a K&E NYC, DLA (NYC), and Skadden (NYC). Skadden has a hospitality room... Do I have any shot at getting K&E and DLA if I'm on the waitlist?

TO ADD TO THE MYSTERY: Bid on S&C at 20 and didn't get them. I do have 3 other interviews on the 14th.

I really wish you could trade interviews. Oh well, mass-mail it is.

Above anon who got them at 17- I have 4 other interviews that day.

Talking with someone else who missed them it might have to do with how high some of my other bids were that day. They may be what's actually locking out space. i.e i have a latham interview at 6 and my friend bid them at 8, so giving my friend sull crom (which they bid at 16) over me wouldn't work because it would cost me my 6 bid potentially. I win maybe because 2 > 1, in other words.

Idk it seems really complicated and this is rampant speculation.
