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 Applying for Interviewing Programs All the information will be under the OCI Tab. You can see important deadlines here. Make sure you have selected the correct session from the dropdown menu.
