They emailed us the drop about 3 days before indoc (Jan 5th class). We had to submit our choices prior to indoc start. Not sure if that is standard. I had an idea of what I wanted, but the 2 days gave me some time to talk to friends in the company. They sat us in seniority order on day1 and everyone stood up and introduced themselves and what they wanted. My SSN is 6XXX, so it gave me an idea of what I would get (got the last of 14 73Ns). 73 went first, then 320, ER, 717 and 88. PM me if you have any more questions. Good luck.
