subtlebrag or retarded. Either way, you need to make sure your personality does not get in the way at OCI. Otherwise, you are in great shapeWODKilla123 wrote:Have a 3.4x which I'm guessing is in the neighborhood of top third, maybe? Interested in NYC M&A.

Sry about your tiny pink partnership chances bro. Don't hate on this kid just because he's got the height and build to be S&C-partnership-secure.rayiner wrote:What?!

Can you talk about how you "schmoozed" your way into 2 interviews? Just showing up and... what?Anonymous User wrote:WODKilla123 wrote:All flaming aside, can I get some real quick advice on my bidlist. (Bay Area native)

I'm not sure if this is your bid order, but here are a few anecdotes from my EIW experience last year:
STB was underbid, and I got DPW, Cravath, Cleary and S&C in the 20s. CWT I wouldn't bother with inside of 20. You will have to bid Kirkland, Weil and Skadden 1 or 2 to get them, unless they drastically increased the amount of interview slots this year. I lost out on Sidley had them at 10ish (I think they had around 60 interview slots). I schmoozed my way into interviews at JD and Fried Frank (didn't bid either).
Also, your height will matter inasmuch as it is indicative of your interview skills. Your undergrad means jack shit unless you went to HYP or have a B.S. in a hard science and are IP-bound (which you are not).
