Post as much info as you feel comfortable posting, and I'll tell you what you are doing wrong.

Try to include: target market, targeted practice group, class rank, school, how many places you mass mailed, interview strategy, etc. etc.

We get it DF, you work in Big Law

I'll help out DF (with the first Jeopardy answer): going all-in for Lit in Chicago's top firms, without anything resembling a midwestern tie.

ITT: DF tells a bunch of people with solid grades from top schools who bid exclusively large-class NYC firms that they are severe aspies.

How was your interviewing skills? 4 CB's is a lot, but going 0/4 sucks. You shouldn't have bid DC at all.

You should mass mail even more places.

But you struck out because you went to a TTT20. Sorry bro, those are semi-target schools.
