For future lurkers, I withdrew from Harvard, UPenn, and UVA before getting an admission result. As listed I received scholarship awards from Columbia, Michigan, and BU—I withdrew from everywhere else I was admitted before hearing about financial aid. The Hamilton at Columbia and Dean’s Scholarship at BU came with admission (1/22/2021 and sometime in November, respectively). If you’re waiting on a Hamilton, you should know that I received it the day AFTER Columbia’s first admit wave… be patient. I was admitted at Michigan on 11/11/2020 and got the invite for a Darrow interview in early December (interview date and date awarded the Darrow are listed in scholarship details). There aren’t a ton of details about the Darrow interview, so I’ll say it was a very standard interview by law school admissions standards—the person I had was very nice and the questions were nothing out of the ordinary. I interviewed at Harvard (first wave of invites, then missed first wave of admits) and UChicago (which obvi ended up a waitlist).

Other details about stats/softs. I took the LSAT 3 times: 169, 173 (Flex), 178 (flex). I listed my softs as T3 because I played D1 baseball (non-HYP Ivy) and made the Academic All-America team one season. My job out of undergrad was very unique (STEM field in what’s considered a “cool,” competitive industry) which may have made my softs better than T3, but who knows. Since I remember not finding much info about this when researching for my cycle: I took around half of my undergrad classes P/F during non-COVID times (if you’re reading this in like 2040 for some god forsaken reason, I wonder if you know what COVID is, or worse… if you DEFINITELY know what it is…), though all classes in my major were taken for a grade (you might be able to guess my undergrad from this detail lol).

Hopefully these notes are helpful for future applicants. I look forward to never looking at this site again.
