Post by chnkymonkey » Fri Dec 21, 2012 5:10 am

Has anyone been accepted to or applied for CLEO 2013?? Thoughts about the program? Is it pretty competitive this year?

I've applied and I had a phone interview the other day. I'm still undecided as to whether I'd attend if I were offered a spot.

I'm considering attending their ASAP seminar, but also want to do FPOC. I'm not too keen with having to pay to attend ASAP, but I assume any additional information they may provide in navigating the application process will be useful.

Since I am really in this sub-forum, you all are more than welcome to ask me questions about CLEO 2012. I attended the program this past summer.

Not sure what the timeline is, but I was accepted at the end of December. I submitted my deposit and will probably be placed at Georgia State

I submitted my application a few days before the early application so sometime in November I believe. All early applications will be notified by Jan. 31st. I just found out this Saturday. I've been reading a lot of good stuff about this program.

I will be attending for sure. Just faxed my letter on intent today! I hope you get in! Have they contacted you in any way yet?

And thank you!! So excited!!!

Woa!! I just saw that you are at Texas A&M!!! So am I!! I'm graduating this semester. Where do you want to go to school?

No, I haven't heard anything back yet but I just applied on January 5. And I graduated from A&M in December 2011. Congrats on graduating this semester. My 1st choice law school is SMU.

Congrats for you for graduating already! Did you get the e-mail from SMU about the minority symposium? I'm sure you will hear back from CLEO. Good luck!

I have gathered that it takes about a month to month and a half from the time of your application. Im still waiting on a response as well!

Welp, just found out that this may be a good idea so I am applying. Not sure if I should pay 2k for something with mixed reviews, but pre-law prep shouldn't hurt.

Just got the notice today that I was accepted. No notice of which campus, but I'm hoping for Georgia State. I sent my application in on 1/8.
