I am trying to get some info so I can figure out whether I should wait to send out some resumes until after we find out...they said mid-to-late July but I'm not sure I'd want to wait until July 30th to send out resumes especially if that's after OCI bid results come out...
Anyone have any insight for this year or know what the timing was last year?

LR was announced 7/28 last year, 7/26 the year before. Calls usually go out approx. 36 hours prior to the announcement. Last year other journals made announcements starting on 8/3 and running through 8/7.

Do you really have that little faith in getting a job through you school's OCI?

No, I'm just neurotic and would like to give myself as many options as possible...including sending resumes to firms I was outbid on for the OCI blind lottery (our whole lottery is blind) that I might be interested in

Our career services has been telling every student to do more than just OCI. Unless you're in the very top of the class, OCI is not a sure bet this year. I know someone who ended 1L with a 3.9 and struck out at OCI last year.

Yup. Last year was brutal. This year will be marginally better, at best.

To be fair, if we are talking about the same 3.9 kid, there was a GOOD reason they go no offered...

everyone knows the story about the 3.9 kid who got no-offered... I personally never met him, but if I did and he talked to me like he's talked to some other people, i'd pimp slamp him... twice
