Damn, I usually blow off those receptions. I need to start attending.

Also, I got my interview results back. I bid on 29 firms, and got 14 interviews. I only missed about 3 of the firms that I was very interested in (though I'm on the waitlist, so there's still a chance). A few of my interviews are with firms that I don't really care for; they were "safe bets" down near the bottom of my bidding list.

Otherwise, I think I did OK, since I pretty much had no [censored] clue as to what a good bidding strategy was.

A question for those with OCI experience: At your school, what is/was the average number of interviews that people landed? I'm not sure if 14 is too many or too little (though I suspect the more the better). Also, note that at our school we have 2 rounds of OCI--one now, one in September. The September go-around has fewer firms coming, so maybe I could expect another 8-10 interviews. Is 22-24 interviews in a fall pretty standard? Or did I somehow [censored] up my bidding?
