You haven't provided nearly enough information in this post--i.e., no indication of actual grades, no indication of desired market or practice area, ties, etc.

You have no chance at Gibson Dunn with median grades though, so I wouldn't waste a bid there. I think Wilmer also seems like a long shot at median.

looks like this is probably SF/SV corporate. don't forget about cooley and wsgr. fenwick needs to be at the very top, mofo #2, and wsgr/cooley/gunderson in the top 10. don't bid on GDC. add STB PA. everything else is up to you.

eta: actually you bid on both gunderson and farella.. do you have an idea of what practice group you want? if litigation, i'd probably still keep cooley and advise against WSGR.. also take off gunderson. if corp, take off farella.. if you're really not sure, then make sure you can actually articulate why you chose to interview with gunderson (only corp)/farella (only lit)
