Re: Higher CB ratio from mass-mail screeners?

Is the OCI lottery or pre-select? If it's a lottery system, poor bidding can lead to a student walking into interviews where he has basically zero chance of landing a callback. If it's pre-select, though, the firm has already decided that it's willing to give you consideration. The same applies to mass-mailing. If a firm responds to your unsolicited email, then they obviously saw something they liked and you have a chance (unlike with a lottery system, where you may have no chance).

I think that, in most cases, you're more likely to receive a callback if your interview was the result of a pre-select system than if your interview was the result of a lottery system. However, if you're at the top of your class at Yale, I don't think it makes much difference how you ended up in the interview room.
