I talked to two recent grads who said it was pretty much a waste of time, unless you were really stressed about school.

if it helps I emailed Audra back and asked and she said the same skills are taught during the APEx program we do as 1Ls. You just get to go to federal court & attend a panel of attorneys.

ACK! Juuuust got back from a month-long retreat with no email, so I missed the deadline for applying for the prep program. Emailed Audra and am crossing my fingers that I can still apply...

Hey all. I have an apartment to sublet in McClurg court center. Convertible, rent is $1350 a month. PM me if anyone is interested.

Question: does anyone have any idea when we'll know what courses we're in/what books we need? I have a friend who's a 2L at Fordham who wants to sell me any books I can use...

If last year is any indication, it will be around 1.5 weeks before classes start.

Has anyone heard anything about the prep program? I thought we would know by today if we were in... I guess I should just plan for another relaxing week...

I haven't heard anything, either.

Nothing here, either. I had actually sent Angie an email asking if we would hear either way and no response on that either.

I haven't heard anything, either, but I applied late...

No news here, either. I wish someone would post that they've been selected so we'd have a better idea whether they're behind on e-mailing or we all just didn't get chosen.

So, just putting out some feelers-- I'm flying in on August 13th (Friday), and signing my lease at McClurg the next morning, but hotels are kind of expensive. Who'd have guessed they'd be less reasonable in August than they were in February when I interviewed?

Any chance that I can crash at one of y'all's places for that night? I could have my Aero bed shipped to your place, so I wouldn't even need to use your couch! PM me if you're feeling hospitable.

Dang-- didn't get into the prep program

I'm doing the prep program, anyone else?

They also sent me the email about it at least 3 different times, they must really think I need to go.

Holly, I'll be there w/ you. "Is this too gunnerish?" wasn't enough to deter me.

Dang, really wanted to do the prep program, but didn't get in. I wonder what they were looking for in the applicants.
