Notes on bidding:
Fall and Spring OCI interviews are based on 80% pre-select and 20% lottery selections. Students who assign their strongest bid to an employer are most likely to be selected in the lottery for that employer. You will want to use your bids strategically, talk to your advisor to help you decide how to assign your bid points.
Opportunity Forum and the NLSC are based on 100% pre-selection. You must still assign bids, but your bid points are meaningless.
1 is the strongest bid number
