SEO Corporate Law

Has anyone had a follow-up interview and then gotten rejected? I have one coming up and I just want to make sure I'm not prematurely getting my hopes up.

If you're asking if the follow up guarantees admission the answer is no

Does anyone know if SEO pays for travel or provides partial stipends for those coming to NY for Orientation? The expenses for flights and lodging are just increasing as we await more information.

I believe in past years, they've gotten firms to pay for flying to and from during CLI. You might be able to get your firm to pay for it for orientation. Otherwise, I dont' remember them paying any stipends for orientation travel. Although you will have housing.

How soon before the initial skype interview did people get the add request? I have mine today and haven't gotten any add requests yet...

You're saying SEO provides housing for us in NY for Orientation on May 25th & 26th? If so that's great, because I was just looking to book a hotel.

Agh man waiting for this skype call is the most nerve wracking thing I think I've ever done! :/ Good luck to everyone still waiting! Hopefully after this I'll be on the other side!

You should obviously call and confirm.

I bet with the collapse of Dewey, some things are going to be different this year for you guys.

I remember, the Texas/CA interns being shuttled in though. You most definitely will have housing for CLI--which lasted for ~two weeks.

Did anyone else not get attachments with the resume email. It referred is to the sample resumes that were supposed to be attached and my email had no attachments.

Same here, no attachments.

I'm guessing that it's getting rather late for people who are still waiting for a decision?

Also, do they contact you if they did not receive/you're missing something?

do we need to have an official transcript there before a decision can be reached or just after they have made a decision??

this is from the application website:

*Note: If you are invited to interview in-person with SEO, your official transcript should be mailed directly to our offices (55 Exchange Place, Suite 601, New York, NY 10005) as soon as possible after you receive the invitation. You may also bring the official transcript with you to your interview. We must have your official transcript on file in order to make a final decision on your candidacy.

I ask because I had my first interview via skype last week...and my school takes 3-5 days just to process and send transcripts (maybe 5-7) since it is close to graduation times...and then another 3-4 days for them seo to receive them....if thats the case the people who recently interviewed are screwed

Well the website does say in-person interview, but I'm not sure how they will feel if you send it before you get an in-person interview

Agreed. Might finally pull the plug if I don't hear anything tomorrow. Time to move on to other things.

Has anyone ever had 2 follow-ups?

Yep. That's why a few of us have been so impatient... PM'd you.

Someone asked about this earlier, but does anyone know if there have been non-URM acceptances so far? i.e. Asian, South Asian, etc.

i know someone who falls under non URM law status that got it this summer.

[Anonymous User]

What do you guys think is the cutoff time for acceptance phone calls everyday? 5pm? A little earlier/later?

When I was looking at the dates for the program there was a date in June for another orientation for students on the quarter system that aren't able to make the first orientation on the 25th. Does anyone know anything about this? Currently on the quarter system and the 25th may be a little hectic to get to.

Had my follow-up today. Interviewer said there is only one orientation (May 25th) and everyone is expected to attend that one.

Any insight into the admissions time line going forward? Or where they are at with reviewing apps

I got a call for a follow-up today. She wanted to do it today, so I think they are just doing a bunch of followups back to back.
