I applied narrowly this year and struck out, but I am going to expand my applications this year--so this will be after working for a firm for a year (current 3L). Looking for thoughts on chances (at Fed District and COA) and any tips for making this year's applications more effective. I appreciate any insight or help you can give me!

OP here, going to give this one bump to see if I can get any comments. If not, I'll let it die.

Yeah, I would say that the issue the first time around was probably applying narrowly, rather than your qualifications. And more judges seem to like alumni candidates, which would work in your favor.
