Any of you remember when we're supposed to submit our proof of enrollment? I think mid April but I do not remember specifically.

You should submit as soon as you make a decision to let them know you've already committed to a law school. They don't make a decision until you've formally deposited somewhere. That being said, they start handing out offers generally in April because that's when most people have made their deposits by.

I got a request to interview a couple days ago.

I'm pretty excited! My only regret was not knowing about SEO and TLS sooner in the cycle.

Is there anyone who picked DC as their destination place? If so is there a good way to find subletting on a temp basis (if selected of course)

Finally got the interview request after being told that My file wasn't complete due to a lack of transcript on file. Any tips?

Have the fundamentals down (e.g. why law school, why law school x,y,z, and why SEO,). Oh, and don't get distracted by their perceived lack of interest.

you can try the generic seo-law email.

have you updated the information about the law schools you applied to?
I did...no response. I updated the information about the schools I applied to and the decisions.

They said they usually don't start admitting till April, even if they get proof of enrollment before then it is usually not a large enough percent of the applicant pool for them to make a decision.

I got a second interview request. I asked if this was correct, given that I had already interviewed, and they said no. They said they forgot to move me to the "Interviewed" pile, so you might wanna reach out to them.
I didn't get a second interview request either. Sorry if my post made it sound like I did. Last year some people had multiple interviews, and SEO sent out a formatting guide for resumes. I was just wondering if anyone had gotten anything

When you deposit at a school, screenshot the zero balance, or "thank you for paying" or whatever else you get and upload it.

Has anyone heard something from SEO yet? In past years' threads, this is around the time when things start to pick up
