Looks pretty good to me I actually had Jones day other market at number 1 so I'm guessing that is going to be popular. I might throw DPW in Day 1 if your interested as a far reach. I've heard that they care about grades, but will dip lower if someone wows them in the interview. Don't know how you feel about your interview skills. Looks like you have a decent mix of reaches and safeties to me.

No, DPW is a waste of his time and a waste of a DPW slot.

I agree, I wasn't planning on putting DPW in the list. But what about the rest?

It seems fine, but I hope you don't like the stuff like Seward and Stroock very much.
