What is SEO? I've seen this post a few times and wondered, but I can bare not knowing any longer.

It's a 0L big law internship during the summer before you enroll in law school. Pretty cool

Any one planning on applying to SEO? Any tips that anyone has heard about?

What is SEO? I've seen this post a few times and wondered, but I can bare not knowing any longer.

URMs who are entering their first year intern/work at a top law firm, usually in either NYC, DC, LA, SF, (Chicago I think). Its generally considered the best thing a URM can do. Many SEO internships lead to summer associateships and then job offers and provide connections with the URM community.

Does anyone know if people that don't have any corporate/business experience prior to applying have difficulty getting selected? Was a PSYC major in college, didn't take BUSI/ECON classes.

When do people generally submit their applications for this? I made an account and poking around I only really see business/accounting/finance stuff on the account page under "Contact & Partners"--nothing law related. I'm wondering if the application for law isn't up yet? I don't know.

Click the purple box at the top of the page, then it'll redirect you to another page.

Yeah, that's the one I went to, but the account doesn't show anything law related. I definitely put law as my interests and clicked the link that you provided. It's like all finance/accounting stuff under Partner Contact & Interest section.

There is no "Law Info" section on my profile like stated in that link. I will probably just shoot them an email.

Generally, people apply for this at the same time that they apply to law school since they ask for most of the same stuff. Based on what I've read, interviews begin in Feb. (or around then) and decisions are made in late April to early May with the program beginning in late May. The app might not be up but it should be soon

For anyone reading this in the future, I found my answer:

"So that's the initial application, if I remember correctly. I remember listing only law as my area of interest and when I logged in a day or two later, I had LSAT and Law School info fields waiting to be populated where I uploaded my PS and put in the schools I had applied to etc. Hope this helps."

I was wondering the same thing. It felt like I was just feeling out a general application for SEO. Will be looking forward to the other components appearing.

I was definitely, genuinely confused. I will post on here when my other components appear so that anybody wondering can see.

Checking in. Biracial AA applicant, struggling with writing a good DS. As a 164-168 LSAT, 3.7-3.76 gpa, will it really impact my admission chances if I skip out on a mediocre at best DS??

If it's not gonna add anything to your app then you don't necessarily have to add one.

If you can fit diverse aspects into your personal statement that helps. But I would try to give some thoughts into anything that could be diverse, and really focus on writing one.

Wondering the same thing.

corporate/business experience doesn't matter at all. The whole purpose of the program is to provide you with some experience in the corporate/business setting. They are somewhat prestige whores in terms of what school you are going to attend. Seems like most of the students that are accepted are attending a t-14

[beantheshadow]

Submitted 16 apps all T-14 except Yale. Feeling nervous need to start working on the 250 essay.

Any tips, pointers? Yale sent me a nice packet with several 250 essays and PS but I think my girlfriend accident my threw it away!

Is there a thread dedicated to interviews? Received my interview contact for Northwestern, I'm sure it varies from interviewer to interviewer but I wonder if there is general questions they're going to ask me. Super nervous!

I'm not sure if there's a thread solely dedicated to interviews but I do know that within individual school threads (current or past), you may be able to find some info about the interviews.

Saying hi. Relatively last-minute(ish) AA applicant (3.5-3.6, 170), coming to mostly complain - why on EARTH isn't the law school application like the common app? Seriously? Having to check these boxes for every single dang school only to have something ~slightly~ different change on them is so. Freaking. Annoying.

[poptart123]

Got this from SEO today.

"The SEO Law application is currently being updated. You should be receiving an email later this week asking to complete the full SEO Law application.

Best,
SEO Career Staff"
