Don't start mass mailing until you don't get callbacks from on campus

Assume that because your GPA is above the callback median reported by OCS, you're basically an autoadmit

Assume because you have a decently strong GPA you don't need to worry and OCI will carry you

How soon is too soon to start mass mailing? Is it ok if we start doing so around July 1st or is there a more appropriate time?

Believe that there is such a thing as being an "autoadmit" for any firm at OCI.

Ask interviewers anything about sexual favors.

Say anything racist or sexist in front of interviewers.
