I got an invite today for an in-person interview. Anyone else?

No. But did you get the "keep us updated...we are reviewing your file" email before you got the invite?

No. I actually submitted my application just yesterday. Was really surprised when I got the e-mail.

Well that's awesome then. You must be quite strong that they invited you immediately like that. Congrats!

Oh, I wasn't sure how they handled the application process.

Well good luck to everybody under review...hope you all get interviews soon!
I'll report back after mine.

How did everyone go about uploading the unofficial transcript? Is that necessary for the initial application? I saw it in the "Quick Updates" Section, so I was unsure if that needed to be completed before initial application or not.

applied and waiting

Uploaded it in the initial application via unofficial transcript pdf from my academic portal on my undergrad's website.

Don't worry about it. Look at Fresh. He's been cleaning up this cycle and I'll eat my hat if he doesn't get an invite. I applied early Jan. You should be faxing them your acceptance info.

Thanks, jinxed

Just, you know, let us know when you do get the invite so we can commence freaking out about when we will get/not get it.

omg i got the invite. you're on the committee aren't u..

Congrats to new invitees.. The interview is pretty tough(probably much tougher than most ppl have ever faced) but the real key is just to be thoughtful and never panic.

[helloscriptkitti]

Woohoo, I got an interview invite! I guess I'm not too non-traditional after all

Yay me too!!! Good luck!

[DorianGray89]

Just sent my application today. Hopefully with Uchicago and Cornell under my belt I'll get an invite

[Knock]

I got the invite as well. Any idea the number of invitations that go out and the number of acceptances (or a rough idea what the percentages are)? What is the interview like? What kind of questions do they ask?

Good luck to everyone!

Sorry, I'm an 0L: What's SEO stand for?

Sponsors for Educational Opportunity

http://www.seo-usa.org/Home

For the purposes of TLS, it is a rare 0L Corporate Law internship targeting at minorities. They have many other programs in other areas.

So that's what this thing is... I was wondering how a TLS thread got to 66 pages over a "search engine optimization" internship...

What can I expect? (Note: answers compiled from numerous threads on TLS)

SEO utilizes the stress interview method, which means that applicants must be prepared. The interview consists of two parts: the personal portion and a reading comprehension (case study) portion. The latter part of the study requires candidates to read a case study and then analyze and respond to it. The first portion of the interview is where candidates tend to need the most preparation. Previous applicants have urged candidates to review their resume, SEO's website, their partner firms, current events, and to have a basic understanding of why they might like to pursue a career in corporate law. Questions are delivered at a frighteningly quick pace, often offered out of the expected order. Listen closely to the questions asked and evaluate what the interviewers are asking for.

SEO echoes much of this advice in their preparation tips found on their website. The key during the interview is to remain calm, think through all answers, and to verbalize all thoughts clearly.

ETA: I don't mean to start a stampede here, but if I were you, i'd register for a spot ASAP. Interview slots seem very, very limited, at least for the locations I looked at.

I hope no one minds me using up this last post on this page, so I can make sure my next post is at the top of a page.

I made this proclamation earlier in the thread, but I'll make it again. If you are thinking about doing this program, you absolutely need to get off the fence. There is nothing you could do this summer that will be a more worthwhile use of your time. This is the single best thiing you can do for yourself now career-wise. Whatever else you may do likely pales in comparison to the experience, connections, and credentials you'll gain in those 10 weeks. I am an alum. I did the program in DC last year, and I can tell you it was one of the best experiences of my life. If you need to be talked off the fence, I am available by PM. But seriously, there shouldn't even be a question. There is no appreciable downside to going through this. I can 100% say I would not be where I am (in such a great position) if it weren't for SEO. If you want more details, PM me.
