Any insight?
I didn't see anything about this...sent in a headshot with a pretty healthy beard too. Did you find anything out yet?
They have a strict policy against facial hair. It's pretty much non-negotiable.
Lol yes, you will likely be pulled aside and given a stern talking to if you show up to an SEO event and are not clean shaven. But such is life.

You're going to HLS right?
Haha yeah, idk what happened, but oh well. I have a few other leads for the summer. I might just relax before the stress of 1l.
Are you K-JD? If you are and if I were you, I would either do absolutely nothing and chill this summer or travel if you can afford it....or both.

I just got a response about 30 minutes ago. They wanted the Word version of my resume, because I apparently can't follow instructions. Looks like they're just now collecting our stuff?

Received same email, I sent a .pdf instead of a word. They just replied that they received my resume in Word format.

Does anyone know exact date/time/location for training in NYC? I'm struggling to find in on the interns section of the site and I'd like to book my flight.

Also, those of you who received placements - did they give you your salary info as well?

I haven't heard anything since submitting my resume. I'm hoping that they would have said something if they hadn't received it

Did the firm placements come via email or phone? And has anyone who was placed talked to someone from their firm yet? Thanks.
