At least we have until the 28th. I'm guessing the majority of us won't be hearing back until later in the deadline....

*I submitted my deposit on like April 1/2

especially since we're both in a small market :/ I think you'll be fine honestly and they mentioned for TX that they'd wait for the deposits (for the most part) so they could compare those in their applicant pool

If they said it's not a problem, chances are it's not. They spent a lot of time interviewing you.

also lol at the firm being confused - we all uploaded photos and I've seen big firms with white Latinx so, while not really diverse - it's still some diversity

On the websites pictures, it looks like they have a few white passing people every year so you should be fine (presumably).

Are people only accepted over the phone? Should I stop checking my email like a crazy person?

not like I even applied to the DC region, but do you know anything about their stats? life story? how much they made the SEO director laugh?

(I was on the "let's hear back today" train but it's a hella stressful week so if I'm going to be dinged, let's not do it soon pls)
+100000. After a DLS from Stanford & Ding from Yale after 5 months of nothing, I can't take another rejection lol.

Last year was calls, too. Congrats to all acceptances. Were y'all all non NYC if you don't mind me asking?? And when did you guys deposit

ETA - I wonder if rejections are emails & acceptances are calls.

It's so weird because last year it was the opposite - NYC first, then everyone else.

I doubt it. Especially if you're in a major city like DC or NYC where they know how diverse Hispanic peeps/latinos can look...
