There's at least one person in the FB group that is not at a T14. I believe it's UCLA.

I know I'm not supposed to sweat it because it could take 2-3 weeks, but when did you upload your seat deposit?

Gosh this is like admissions all over again!

For people who are waiting for the call, I submitted my seat deposit 4/22 and heard back from SEO 4/28. So it took about a week. Longest wait of the whole admissions process!

So is anyone hoping for any particular firms? I know they'll throw us wherever they want, but I'm curious if anyone was drawn to firms when researching their partners?

I think I submitted like 4 days ago? Either late last week or on Monday, if I recall correctly. Definitely don't sweat it!

I'm hoping to get a firm that specializes in tech stuff (preferably M&A) and has an office in NYC and SF. A cherry on top would be if they also have an office in Denver. MoFo would be ideal.

What is the general move for housing for NYC interns. Idk if I'm looking at the top two recommended options on the website but both appear to be sold out.

I got the same sold out message as we'll. Currently freaking out a bit. It'll be tough to find housing. Maybe if anyone is interested we could possibly rent out an apartment?
