I signed up for a consultation with Spivey but it’s with a guy named Sir Williams lol
@texaslawhopefully: who knows if this is still true, but according to my Spivey consultant, they typically interview ~133% of eventual admits, which means an II gives you a 75% chance of getting an A
So the odds are in our favor, inshallah

@Unrepentant-Caucasian: It is true. They publish the data online and the interview yield rate is typically 70-75 percent.
