How many OCI screeners did you get / what is the average #?
Because I only got 9 and I'm kind of very upset about this and I'm wondering if I am screwed. I know it only takes one, I guess, but still. T20 school.

You said it yourself, all you need is one. Depend on how your school runs the OCI, it may be because of your credential, bidding strategy, or just pure luck. Just crush those interviews, you'll be fine.

Preselect? That's pretty good.
Lottery? Sucks but how many firms are lining up to interview TTT students?

Look at it this way. If you had a ton of interviews, your pre-interview prep and networking would probably be crappy for most of them. This way you can do a huge amount of prep and be on your game for every interview. If those are lottery, I hope you bid wisely. I've turned lottery picks in to CBs when I wasn't too far outside the firms hiring profile already.Anonymous User wrote:Because I only got 9 and I'm kind of very upset about this and I'm wondering if I am screwed.

To be fair, if the level of your prep is gonna be different if you had 18 interviews compared to 9, then you got problemsAnonymous User wrote:Look at it this way.

T50 here, top 15%, LR
I received 15 preselects (waiting on two more). I got denied for two, and alternate for three. Our school allows 15 screeners.
10 of the 15 are V100.

Lower T2, top 5%, no LR/Journal.
17 preselects total. 4 V10, 8 V25, 14 V100.
Should I be pretty happy with this from a T2?

Re: How many OCI screeners did you get / what is the average #?
NYC T2, top 5%, LR. School is all preselect.
18 preselects (3 V10, 3 V25, 4 V50, 5 V100, 3 Non-Vault)
3 alternates (1 V10, 2 V50)
Dinged by 15
Waiting on 7
Happy enough, but I heard a rumor about a friend-of-a-friend-of-a-friend with 29 preselects and am now wondering if I underperformed.
