from my snooping it appears to be 72, because a lot of people dont have facebook I would presume they have filled all the spots and are just waiting to make sure all the pieces are in order
I don't know how Hammy was able to see before but there's a way to see invited + accepted members, right? That's probably higher than 72..

They might still be filling spots based on accepted interns. I know two people that turned it down

I'm not religious at all but my mom is, she made me pray on Sunday about it. But I don't know if it's working against me cuz god was like "you don't mean this shit," + plus I had my eyes open. lol but my mom was deep into it though lol
LMFAO I feel you. Fingers, toes, eyes and arms crossed. I think the MAN upstairs knows how I feel about him at this point, or lack of feeling. At this point I'd rather hear that responding "NO!" So I can stop refreshing this thread every 5mins. And when I say rather: Id obviously rather get the call saying:

Van Ann: "Oh, I am sorry, I thought we had already called you with acceptance but here you go now."

ME: "Oh, thats okay Ms. Van Ann was not worried a bit." "Not one bit."

I also couldn't see the Invited section this morning, but now it's appearing for me again: 72 members, 36 invites. Latest invite who hasn't joined happened on Sunday

I've known my firm placement for a couple days now and haven't heard from them yet :/ (I'm trying to get a hold of former SEO interns with the same placement but everyone's focused on finals now)

Since most of us won't be starting until June there's probably no rush to get specifics for a little while.

don't even get me started

I'm really curious as to why HR has not reached out if I'm supposed to start earlier. I keep thinking about parking costs (downtown parking garage = fee = I'm going to need a badge or ID on me and my car and to know where to park so I can be validated later), what programs do they use/what are individual clients like, what type of work will I be doing, how am I billing my time and how extensive is our billing training going to be, and etc.

Where are you coming from that you're taking your car?

Anyone else thinking of taking their car? If so, where are you placed? Thanks.
