Haha, I totally flubbed that question too. I'm not convinced that WL = good, but your post gives me hope! WL generally means we're behind other applicants... like you, probably.

Re: SEO Corporate Law
I left my purse in the interview room... that's gotta be -10 pts for being unprofessional.
Either way, the key is to plan a sweet vacay to go on in case you don't get it. I think Vegas is in the books if I get shut out from SEO.

Just fax it to them...the same number you faxed your acceptances to, with a cover letter.

Re: SEO Corporate Law
Is it required to fax your acceptances? I thought you just had to update the law schools on your application online and then fax your seat deposit. I just want to make sure I don't forget to do something so simple.

Re: SEO Corporate Law
Umm, I definitely faxed in copies of my acceptances. I can't remember whether it was required or just recommended, but I'm fairly sure they mentioned it somewhere in the application process. I would do it, just to be safe.ciccero wrote:Is it required to fax your acceptances? I thought you just had to update the law schools on your application online and then fax your seat deposit.

I'm sure they only want you to fax the school you're going to attend. Or at most, the top 2 schools you are considering (read the top 2 highest ranked schools you got into).

Re: SEO Corporate Law
Below a 160 typically precludes you from T14, so probably not.

I have it on VERY GOOD authority that someone with below a 160 got an interview. It is indeed possible.

Re: SEO Corporate Law
What if you scored below a 160 but still got into multiple T14s? Do you think SEO cares more about what you scored or where you got in? I would hope the latter.treple wrote:Below a 160 typically precludes you from T14, so probably not.

The general consensus is they care MUCH more about where you get in then your LSAT score--since according to a post above SEO promises its partners a certain number of Harvard,Yale, etc. students. They care less about how you get in, but where you get in. Though because of the strong correlation between LSAT score and law school acceptances it is much more rare for someone with a below T-14 range LSAT score to get an invite.
Communicate now with those who not only know what a legal education is, but can offer you worthy advice and commentary as you complete the three most educational, yet challenging years of your law related post graduate life.

Re: SEO Corporate Law
Everyone says that it's your enrollment confirmation that is going to get you in, but what is second in line in criteria? I mean, I'm sure there are more than 50-60 minority candidates applying that got into HYSCCN, so do you think it's the interview next? Numbers? Resume? The fact that the program isn't filled solely with T6 students (when it probably could be) says there has to be something else going on. Maybe it's broken down by ethnicity quotas?

Re: SEO Corporate Law
Probably not that many. If you're a minority that got into HYSCCN, you tend to have pretty attractive options on your plate. Travel, work, or public interest stuff can all seem much more attractive than SEO when the world is your oyster.lex talionis wrote:Everyone says that it's your enrollment confirmation that is going to get you in, but what is second in line in criteria?

Re: SEO Corporate Law
Meh... there are 185 "students of color" in the typical entering class of HLS alone... and there isn't that much you could offer me this summer that would be more attractive than SEO, besides "paid professional beach-goer."Kohinoor wrote:Probably not that many.
