I got an offer in NYC today. Applied early december, interview mid January, proof of enrollment early last week, updated resume sent in last Friday.
Congrats, congrats!! Seems like very quick turnover between the deposit, the résumé submission, and the offer! Awesome. I just put down my deposit this week so I'm crossing my fingers for good news. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

Thanks! I deposited at Columbia! I really enjoyed the ASW, and I think living in NYC (even if solely for law school) will be a great experience.

Definitely down to connect. I'm trying to figure out what to do about housing for the internship. It doesn't look like this will be stress-free...

After officially accepting the offer, I got an email with some housing resources, so you'll probably get one soon, too. From what I gather, interns sometimes live in CLS or NYU housing. I'm going to try and get NYU housing, but we'll see.

Congrats to all the new acceptances! I look forward to meeting you this summer!

You know, my phone was static-y and we were both in a rush. Embarassing, but I'm not sure. There's is supposed to be an email tomorrow to confirm things.

Yay! Feel free to PM me, everyone! Not SEO (sorry for clogging up your thread) but really want to meet other URMs in NYC, not just those at NYU.

Are all the SEO acceptances going to NYU/Columbia matriculants? I deposited today at Penn, still hoping to get NYC!

Not a NYU/CLS matriculant. I deposited at UVA(hoping for movement off the CLS waitlist).
