Jason, With the recent update to Android studio it wanted the sdk folder outside of the android studio folder. I had to move my sdk folder once I updated, I found it by:

C:\Users<user>.AndroidStudioBeta

If this is a new install from the past few days try

C:\Users<user>\sdk\

This is for windows on a mac on the android app icon right click and select "Show Package Contents" this will open up a finder with the package content if its not in there try in a terminal: /Applications/sdk/

I hope this helps
