About & Wisdom
SnobbishCageyPadawon's wisdom
Application info:
Submitted a DS to every school except UVA, as I made my DS the answer to their “resilience” question.
Wrote Penn Core Values, Why UVA, Why Mich, Why Duke, GULC Top Ten, Why Florida.
Advice:
Stats are necessary, but not sufficient. Get the best LSAT and GPA possible, then write the best essays you can (and do the optionals!)
Go to admitted students events. There’s no better way to get a feeling for a school. If your heart tells you that you will be happier at school X versus school Y, don’t ignore that. Happiness breeds success. Misery isn’t worth prestige, especially if the school you like more is ranked only a little bit lower and is still good for your goals.
Karsh-Dillard:
While my stats were good for UVA, I know that they are not the sole reason I received the KD. I connected incredibly well with my interviewer, and I kept in contact with her throughout the admissions cycle. Without that relationship, I do not believe I would have gotten it. Adcomms are human––be kind always, be yourself, and maintain the connections you make.
My Decision:
My decision came down to UVA versus UChicago. I went to both of their ASWs, and I realized that UVA was where I was meant to be. Not only did it feel like home, but the KD scholarship was an incredible honor. The choice ended up being easy. Wahoowa!
