Figured I’d start this thread to discuss Boston OCI/pre-OCI. Seems like the new NALP rules have led to unprecedented pre-OCI offers. Any idea what that might mean for the rest of us who haven’t had any luck with pre-OCI?

Internally at my firm (top 5 in Boston), I'm not sure if we've made more pre-OCI offers, but I think there has certainly been an increased pressure to recruit the cream of the crop from schools. However, there are more firms in Boston recruiting this year, so maybe the net result from your perspective as a student may mean things even out. I would expect this year to be just as competitive as last year, with no huge flux towards either end of the spectrum (either reduced or increased OCI slots).
