Seems reasonable, perhaps a tad conservative if you have decent prior work experience. Have you thought about having a fifth column of firms you'd apply to pre-OCI?

I'm a KJD so I went a little more conservative. For pre-OCI, I've only gotten a screener from Cleary.

Hi OP - you mentioned getting a screener from Cleary. Did you apply to their early interview program?

Hello. Been lurking on this forum for a while now and finally decided to open an account. I am a noob in this whole bid list process for a variety of reasons. Question: How do I get FFB Data? I'm at a lower T-14, and I don't understand if that data is available only to those who attend EIP instead of OCI. Any light any of you could shed on the matter would be highly appreciated.
