How far below median?

+1

Not all grades in yet, but estimating a 3.1 so very far below.

That's probably bottom 1/4?
I'm no expert, but Gibson seems like too much of a reach.

White & Case dings for grades. I would switch them and BakerMcKenzie. I would also move Bingham way up that list. Shearman looks like a good reach and I guess you need to have them high up the list because they're pretty popular. Good luck! I was below median, had a similar bid list, and ended up with plenty of offers.

FWIW, if you're at CLS, you likely won't get Proskaeur at 4 since it's so popular.

I don't know if SRZ needs to be that high. I'd consider moving Sheppard up and Millbank and SRZ down.

I'm not sure about the grade selectiveness, though.
