Same, I think the first week.

Just got the SEO interview invitation for NYC. Applied in December.

+1

+2

Initiation for DC though.

So how much of a disadvantage is it to interview through skype? Any collective wisdom on that?

[kenwash]

Is SEO valuable for someone who wants to go into patent law? I've been assuming that since it's not as common as other areas, the SEO opportunities would be limited.

If you are close, like DC and up, they might not think you are serious.

Okay. I'm in the midwest so getting to new york by next week is kinda cost prohibitive.

I wish I could've applied for SEO. It's such an amazing opportunity.

And thanks everyone

That's the one school I'm debating on withdrawing from before receiving a decision.

Is it because you know you'll attend HLS over them?

No, I would consider attending any school that I applied to that has my desired clinical program over HYS if it offers me the right amount of $$$. I just visited CLS and didn't feel like it would be the right fit for me. But the only reason I'm holding out is because if I'm admitted and if I receive money, I want to use that to negotiate with NYU.

No, I would consider attending any school with my program over HYS if it offers me the right amount of $$$. I just visited CLS and didn't feel like it would be the right fit for me. But the only reason I'm holding out is because if I'm admitted and if I receive money, I want to use that to negotiate with NYU.

Gotcha. That's the only reason I really applied to Cornell (to negotiate with GULC).
Just curious though, what are you referring to when you say 'my program'?

I edited my original post for clarification literally right before you posted this lol. There's an area of law that I'm particularly interested in and I applied to several schools that offer students the opportunity to participate in clinics and/or complete work abroad in that field.

Ohhh, well that's interesting. Don't disappear forever, keep us updated on where you end up!

I still check the board sporadically. I just don't have the free time I use to. I hope someone creates a new thread at the end of the cycle for URMs to post their stats and the schools they've heard back from.
