Top Law Schools

I was ranked 2nd in my section at a strong regional school (think BC/GW/etc). I was lucky enough to work at as a summer associate as a 1L and am almost certainly likely to be offered a position to return 2L summer. I am, however, still wanting to meet with some firms through OCI to really weigh my options. I love where I work but feel that I should take an opportunity to meet with some firms at least.

However, there are only a handful of firms (around 10) (I've been meeting / talking with associates) that I'd consider going to over my current firm. Is there any reason why I should bid for more? Is it dumb to only bid for 10? May be a dumb question but I just want to make sure I'm not missing something.

Bid as much as you can, and if you must, cancel all but the 10 after you have an offer in-hand.

Well, what does it cost you to bid on more firms? I'd suggest maximizing the opportunities available to you at OCI. Pick up as many screeners as you can and go to as many call back interviews. Accumulate that information. Then make your ultimate decision based off of that knowledge. You might be surprised.
