Need an honest assessment from you all. Top 6% at a regional T100 in the NYC market. What are my chances to get a SA position?

 Should I bid a firm that I have already screened with Pre OCI? or is that a wasted bid?
Likely a wasted bid unless it's for a different office for a firm that hires by office

Depends on the school. At Cardozo, Brooklyn, or St. John’s, you should be fine. At NYLS, it’ll be a tougher road.

It’s not NYLS so this makes me feel better…I’ve been pumping out apps like a nut and getting discouraged. I know it’s gonna be tough but just gotta make it all happen

Why is that? Does the offer expire before OCI??
