Hey everyone,
I'm a recent transfer admit and am only posting anonymously because I would completely give away my identity with my username.
I'm new to the lottery system and was looking for some advice on how strategic I should be v. just putting the firms I wanna work for most the highest.
I have been looking at the OCI ppt from last year. Some of the firms that I really want to work for, and think are realistic targets have successful bid %s of 40-60%, whereas some of the firms that are still in my top 15, but are not my favorites have bid %s of 10-15%.
How high would I need to put a firm to ensure I get it, even if it has a fairly high successful bid %?
To avoid completely vagueness, I'll use Paul Hastings 49% and Cooley 8% as an example. If I would prefer Paul Hastings, but Cooley is so much more selective, how high should I put each?

Got 22 interviews. 15 out of my top 20. Mostly NYC but 3-4 CA.
Missed Skadden, Sidley, Kirkland, and Weil for NYC. Had Sidley at 10 too, guess I was only one away.
I'm seeking Sidley and/or Kirkland if anyone's willing to trade?

Penn is awesome. Every school should allow people to trade interview slots.

Nice! Those were the two I wanted that I didn't get. I think I'll trade up for some firms now that I know I'm on LR.
Still, I can't complain -- I picked up 6 interviews off the waitlist/the additional 20 bids.

I'm looking for
