Re: HLS EIP 2016
Serious response: no, not really. It's better to send resumes directly to recruiters than use the resume book. It doesn't hurt to throw your name in the hat, so to speak, but if you're gunning for any of those firms I would also email them your materials.

Top 1/3rd grades
17 screeners
6 callbacks
5 firms that haven't gotten back to me after 2-3 weeks
1 rejection
Feels not too great. Don't feel alone if you're in a similar boat.

Re: HLS EIP 2016
I'm not sure my results will shed much light, but here goes. I wasn't smart about things (e.g., bid too few places, didn't add aggressively, didn't really practice interviewing (though I improved as the week progressed)). I also have an academic-looking resume that suggests I wouldn't spend much time at a firm. I'm pleased enough with how things worked out, but it was a close call.

16 Interviews

4 callbacks Accepted
4 offers
New York

5 callbacks accepted
4 offers (V5, V10, 2 V30s)
Overall pretty pleased with my outcome, wanted to be in DC, and am likely splitting DC (native firm) and NY firm.

3H, 7P - Strong work experience, targeting corporate work in Boston
Total/Boston:
23 interviews
13 callbacks offered
10 callbacks accepted
6 interviews attended (cancelled some after first offer)
3 offers, 3 rejections
Edit: Updated my results. I was surprised by how quickly everyone got back to me - especially on the rejection end of things. It's only midway through September and I've already heard back from every law firm I interviewed with at EIP. Maybe this is a Boston thing though.

Re: HLS EIP 2016
On the plus side, because of the large increase in pre-EIP offers, those who underperformed might see some love as those pre-EIP/OCI offers are declined or expire.

Top 15%ish grades. 25 screeners in two secondary markets, 16 CBs, 9 taken, 8 offers and withdrew from one. One of the secondary markets was DC and I will say I had a much easier time in the other one
