Wow hype level for this is very high.
I'm hyped!

The real challenge now is trying not to check for a login every 10 minutes...

I have been eagerly checking every single day! They said early December so I am not sure why it has been taking so long. I am planning on going to the January admitted students open house and want to make plans!

Creeped last year's thread and it looks like their ASW went live 12/15. I am also SO excited for the open house. Hoping we can get TLS'ers to unite!

Yeah I have been anxiously waiting for the site just so I can get the dates!

You are far too helpful on here. If these law school hopefuls cant perform a 3 word google search by now, I have little hope.

I have to balance being an asshole with being helpful. This one passed some of my smell test with certain considerations as to the variability of their meaning.

I'm aware of that statistic. I was admitted to Georgetown two months ago and am considering attending the open house in January but wanted more info about NY jobs first. My question was intended to be more specific: do you have to rank toward the top 20 or 25 % of the class? Are these BigLaw jobs? etc. My apologies for being vague!

tbh guys NY is the easiest market to get probably for big law from gTTTown

I don't think anyone here has more in depth information than ABA. You can check the NALP records and see if they list firms/offices. Following what the general spiel is, NY is a backup for most law schools that aren't in NY but have a primary market. GULC students likely target DC and when they can't, they go NY. You can do the math on the percentage of students who get biglaw and speculate as to which percentage of the class they are in.

Indeed, thanks for the clarification.

Has anyone logged onto the ASW? Hoping it can be an early indicator of admissions like in years past

In! Interviewed 11/30, letter postmarked 12/8.

For those accepted, has Georgetown released scholarship information, or was that supposed to be a part of your acceptance letter if you received it.

So does Georgetown send a hype package a while after acceptance like some of the other schools do or is it just the letter?

I think most of us who have been accepted have not gotten any info yet.

+1

I think an e-mail will go out soon with info about the admitted students website, with more e-mails over the next few months - not really expecting anything else to come in the mail.

Have any admitted students successfully requested a username/password from the ASW?

Got acceptance letter mid-November, no luck on the username/password from the ASW today. Maybe tomorrow?
