bidding too conservatively. oci scared all the (top) students into bidding way too conservatively

Bidding exclusively DC and mostly ignoring NY was riskier than I expected.

So there were openings at the top and firms that you considered safeties were blood baths to get screening interviews?

Some schools have off-campus interview programs.

(Vanderbilt, WashU, Emory, Tulane, UMiami, etc.)

How serious are GPA cutoffs?

Will Skadden take a median from GULC??

What about the ninja-bidding technique...(Vault T-15 with HUGE classes...worth your final 5 bids?

those bids don't count toward your OCI ones though...at least at UT they don't.

What do you have to lose? Worst case scenario, you get an interview and waste 20-30 minutes of your time. If they're firms at the bottom of your list, you didn't waste any bids, and you probably didn't take an interview slot away from someone who really wanted it (b/c, presumably, if they really wanted it they would have bid it higher than you).
