Relative Selectivity of DC Firms

So I'm trying to gauge my chances at several DC firms since DC is my first choice. I understand class rank requirements are different for each school, I'm just trying to figure out generally which firms I should bid high so that I don't waste a bid.

I'm right inside the top 20% cutoff at Vandy if that helps.

Here are the firms coming to OCI:
Alston + Bird
Arent Fox
Dechert
Foley
Hunton & Williams
Hogan Lovalls
Jones Day
King & Spalding
Sutherland
Paul Hastings
Vinson & Elkins
Latham
Winston & Strawn
Nelson, Mullins, Scarborough

Also looking for some guidance as to which firms not on this list might be fruitful for mass-mailing.

Thanks for any insight

Based on my experience at a similar school ranked 15-20, you have a decent shot at most of the firms listed. I know that Foley & Larder and Alston took students ranked between 20-25%. Latham, Jones Day, and Hogan are more selective. Latham DC seems to take mostly T14 students in the top 10-15%.
