Completely depends on the system your school uses.

pre-select: You choose what employers to bid on. Employers look at the credentials of everyone who bid and chooses who to interview with.

lottery: You choose what employers to bid on. Without regard to your credentials, an algorithim assigns interviews based on student preference.

Most top / fancy / national schools use lottery systems. Most schools in The Abyss use a pure pre-select system. In between it is murkier, and schools all have slight variations.
