Date: June 30th, 2009 4:29 AM Author: Curious Rose Haunted Graveyard is boston your preferred market?
I've got a similar situation. I'm using just over half of my bids on my home market and have remaining bids I want to use. So I'm going with NY/DC as my backup, but problem is that they are major markets and I'm thinking my bids will be wasted since they are for popular/top firms. Haven't talked to OCS yet. |

|
Date: June 30th, 2009 5:01 AM Author: greedy exciting immigrant to be truly prestigious you must require LSAT score on resume. Better yet, in lieu of transcript, ask for LSAT score report. |

|
Date: June 30th, 2009 4:46 AM Author: greedy exciting immigrant Thats my intuition as well. (Although I do think you should cut out one of your two markets). I just dont know whether OCS is talking out of their ass, or they know something we dont know. |

Date: June 30th, 2009 4:50 AM Author: greedy exciting immigrant also--smaller firms = smaller classes. ITE, they might be able to fill their class of 9 with solid GPAers. I dont know if the ITE increase in selectivity will cause firms to be choosier with GPA or personality/fit. |
|
Date: June 30th, 2009 4:53 AM Author: Glittery cowardly death wish Regarding the "low" gpa for the firms: do you guys think it means that anyone who meets the "low" will be in contention, or are the "low" gpa people almost always URMS or have connections?

|
Date: June 30th, 2009 4:54 AM Author: greedy exciting immigrant It beats bidding on firms where LOW is higher than mine. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1030518&forum_id=2#12122203) |
|
Date: June 30th, 2009 4:56 AM Author: Glittery cowardly death wish I'm kinda curious because my GPA is just high enough to meet the "low" for most firms, but way below the median. Wondering if that means I'm fucked at all these places or whether I'm in the ballpark and can get a callback if I don't mess up the interview. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1030518&forum_id=2#12122209) |
|
Date: June 30th, 2009 4:59 AM Author: greedy exciting immigrant high enough to meet low, but below median for most firms = 3.2-3.3 range? Better safe than sorry. If you do your DD, though, I'd imagine that you could definitely cull your list down to 30. I'm having a problem coming up with 30 firms where it wouldn't be a blatantly wasted bid. |
|
Date: June 30th, 2009 5:02 AM Author: Glittery cowardly death wish no, i'm somewhere between 2.9 and 3.0, but that seems to be just above the "low" for many NY firms. though obviously, waaay below median.

Date: June 30th, 2009 5:02 AM Author: greedy exciting immigrant Right, somebody always has to be "the one". Im sure that the "low" that is currently listed was one of those mavericks who looked at the info and said, fuck it.

Date: July 2nd, 2009 12:30 PM Author: dashing cuckold I meant more what one could discern just from class. Hollywood assured me that from the first day one would be able to tell the top students (or those doomed to a hilarious comeuppance) merely from the quality of their repartee. If you can't trust the movies, what can you trust?
Actually, the two guys I know who got the best grades both complained/bragged about how much work they were doing. One even said that he felt anxious and unhappy if he had any free time. That's not to say I really anticipated their success beforehand, since I tend to doubt the marginal efficacy of grinding. However, even if there's no strong causation effect of that level of diligence, I probably should have realized there'd be a correlation. |

|
Date: July 1st, 2009 10:24 PM Author: dashing cuckold Yeah, I am judging selectivity essentially by the posted GPA medians.
I didn't determine the necessity of high bidding by that (if anything, high GPA should scare some people away), but there's a big overlap between selectivity and expected bid competition (mostly to do with Vault rankings/prestige, layoffs, firm stability, number of offices and class size), so that's how it worked out. |
|
Date: July 1st, 2009 10:45 PM Author: yellow windowlicker I did this too. Do you think the top firms will get that much more selective on GPA ITE? I'm right at the GPA for the highest Chi firms, and I kinda feel like I have a better shot at some of them than the firms with small offices.
How did you guys factor in size of summer class? |
|
Date: July 1st, 2009 10:53 PM Author: dashing cuckold Size of summer class was pretty much my strongest factor in ranking. I figure more people will bid on it just because it has a bigger profile and more people will bid on it because they think they have a better chance with a bigger class size, not to mention I personally want to get the interview more.

Date: July 5th, 2009 6:08 PM Author: Fantasy-prone forum round eye there's a grading rubric, and A,B,C are the only grades, but we can note if someone was on the fringe of a higher or lower grade. i believe 5 ppl grade each entry, and the highest and lowest grade among these 5 is each dropped, and the other 3 averaged. style, content, typos and formatting all affect a grade. in fact mis-formatting could mean disqualification (i wasn't looking for that, because i'm not that anal). i was mostly interested in writing style and whether someone was making a plausible argument. we had a lot of latitude in grading (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=1030518&forum_id=2#12163849) |

Date: July 7th, 2009 12:33 AM Author: fiercely-loyal chestnut business firm How many fewer employers are coming? I didn't really notice any difference between who NALP said was coming and who appeared on Symplicity. The only ones that I really noticed were ones that never really could get Michigan students in a good economy. And even those are doing resume collection.
From what my counselor told me, in a normal economy 75% of students got their summer job through OCI. This year, they are conservatively expecting 50% to get them through OCI. That means that the other 25% are just going to have to hustle. The jobs are out there. They just won't necessarily be coming to you. For instance, I started my list of NON-OCI NYC firms and it's at 60 already, and I haven't even gone through Martindale. There are tons of firms out there. People are just going to have to get over not working at a v-100. How much longer is everybody really going to be chasing prestige? That shit is old. |

Dykema, Miller, Varnum to name a few. even Drinker Grand Rapids gets its own interview team. compare that to our OCI list.

i wrote a scathing email to them today, telling them they should be notifying students immediately which firms/offices were no longer attending. they are screwing over students like me who are summering in their target markets and may actually have a chance to line up interviews before going back. their response was they were compiling a list and were going to email students over the new few days. also gave me BS about how it could be a waste of time to contact those firms since them pulling out indicates they're probably not having an SA class or are delaying hiring (not true for firms only pulling out certain offices. truth is no one wants to come out here). |
