Everyone says to up your chances, bid NY rather than DC since DC is more competitive. But what if the GPA statistics show that for a particular firm, the median GPA for DC is actually lower than or equal to the NY one. Should I still bid DC or is that irrelevant?

Your at gulc right? (I think I remeber your name from another thread) Look at the comparable class sizes and if DC is comparable then I think it's the same likelihood. Gtown is weird as dc is the home market so it may just be that a firm really likes gulc kids aka has a couple big Gtown partners and so the dc office isn't any harder. Also it is much cheaper for a dc firm to give a callback then a NYC firm to give one to a gulc student just thinking
