At this point, I'd probably just continue with the company, network with people as much as possible, and focus NYC hard for 3L OCI in mid-July.

Your post sounds like you don't have a problem interviewing, but I'd probably do a few mock interviews in preparation for 3L OCI just to make sure you are as comfortable as possible, no matter what question comes your way.

What are your relationships like at this company? Do they hire afterwards? Are they willing to make calls for you?

Are you applying to clerkships as well? Have you developed relationships with professors (i.e., gotten LORs)?
Yes one of the markets was NYC and I did not get so much as a screener.

I consider myself a rather competent interviewer. I have done several mock interviews this year and have gotten great feedback.

Even this late in the game? most of my mass mailing efforts were in August and then again in September/October. I am not sure any firms are even still hiring/accepting applications for the summer

What's the alternative? Not applying for jobs?

The transfer to UW when the OP doesn't want to work in the Pacific Northwest was confusing to me
