CLEO/AIE Seminar Forum

[mslawschool2012]

Hi All,
So I applied to the CLEO Six Week Summer Insititute earlier this year. I received an e-mail informing me that they had many applicants for the summer institute, and the director offered me a seat for the Attitude is Essential seminar instead. The AIE is for students already admitted to a law school. I am curious as to finding out what are the benefits of AIE. I have read the website, so I have an idea of what is being offered, but it seems as though the main difference is that the Six Week Summer Institute may allow a school who would have previously denied you, to instead give you conditional admittance to their law school. This admittance is usually on the condition that you complete the CLEO program. Does AIE offer this benefit? If I told a school that I was participating in the AIE seminar, would they treat my AIE acceptance the same as an acceptance to the Summer institute?

Don't do it. What schools?

American GW Catholic and Rutgers are all schools I'm waiting to hear from. Being accepted to CLEO has seemed to help other students in the past in securing a school they may otherwise be waitlisted at. Just wondering if being accepted to AIE would bring the same benefit.

TBH I don't know anything about it. But you shouldn't pay sticker at any of those schools. What is your GPA / LSAT?
