Van Ann posted on fbk saying not to update until you actually start and to list your title as SEO law fellow.

I like it. Sounds better than intern; especially after coming form a professional job.

yes. I think the two week training will help ease our nervousness tho. At least, I'm hoping it will.

Did they ask in their initial email to you, or did you have to explicitly ask about that? My firm's welcome email didn't mention anything about flights/lodging, and I don't want to seem rude, but it's also getting kind of down to the wire. :shock: Also, anyone else super nervous/experiencing imposter syndrome?
I think they called or emailed later and asked me to look that evening and just pick a flight if it would be easier for me.

Idk if anyone would know this, but I applied to BARBRI Law Preview Scholarship before SEO. Should I withdraw from that?

SEO exam academy is MUCH better than barbri law preview.

But I think SEO exam academy is now at the beginning of the summer? Not sure if it would be useful to do law preview again in August. In any case, I found law preview to be a waste of time after doing SEO.
