Either way, feel free to check in if you're planning to/already have submitted an app for SEO! We can all freak out about interviews and things of that nature together
Sites recommended for SEO partners research prior to interview:
- http://www.chambers-associate.com/home
http://www.nalpdirectory.com/
*Above the Law also has a law firm directory, but I didn't find it incredibly useful*
- Length of interview seems to vary (shorter of times being around 15-20 minutes)
Not a "stress interview" (unlike previous years) -- some who have interviewed report it being somewhat tense, but that wasn't my experience
Conducted via Skype (I don't think they do in-person anymore)
Know their firms
No case reading
Time between application submission and interview request is ~ 2 weeks according to most applicants

10-week-long fellowship (First two weeks are more educational, take place in NYC; next eight weeks take place at whatever firm you're placed at)
Majority of placement is in NYC, followed by DC; most other placement is just a couple people
Housing is NOT provided (except the two weeks in NYC for people who aren't placed in at a NYC firm)
$$$ = up to $1500/wk
Placement is highly-dependent on what the firm is asking for (they give list of schools they prefer) HENCE seat deposit is a MUST before they can place you
For anyone who is trying to negotiate schollies and thus, hasn't submitted a seat deposit by the deadline, LET SEO KNOW
Resume MUST be ONLY one page!
