…This should go without saying, but if they have optional interviews or essays, you need to do them, full stop. It can be a pain in the ass, especially when applying to a lot of schools, but I do not doubt that if a school is on the fence about your application, and you didn’t write the optional essay, you will get…
…I carried through in all my written materials and interviews. My PS was at times risky, but I tried to be as honest and authentic as possible about my experiences - even against the advice of some advisors - and based on my results, I think it paid off) Did not write a DS Sent 4 LORs everywhere that allowed it (one…
…to clerk/practice in Texas post-graduation. Invited to interview and held for regular decision, UR again on 1/20. Notre Dame is my second choice, it’s a great school with fantastic culture that punches well above its rank. GW is generous with money and does well in my second choice market. I love DC and would love…
…I had a decision. They clearly weren’t interested, no interview and months of silence. Redacted GPA. Anyone interested in outcomes— 1L top 20%, took 2L biglaw in SF. No issue getting callbacks in LA/SF the two cities I applied to.
…Never try to turn a tour or information session into an interview… that will do more harm than good.) Put your information into LSD and don’t check anything until the end of January. If a school is going to let you know earlier than that, your email will come just as quickly as the status checker is updated. Letting…
…me to the school. Tbh, I thought I did HORRIBLY on the interview, so I didn’t even think I was getting in, let alone getting a full-ride. Just goes to show you that you may have not done as poorly in the KIRA as you think… Anyways, this ultimately came down to UVA and Northwestern. Tbh before my cycle I felt more…
…your apps, stay off LSD and Reddit until you get interview invites. You won’t get this time back.
…again and I was free of this existential dread. I have interviewed with two people who are dead and the head of a department that does not exist. I received a 150 on my first LSAT, retook it, and got a 151. Reported score? 301. Checkmate admissions. Time has lost all meaning, days, minutes, hours, all lies. Lies we…

…Law School - Rejection on 5 April 2021 - Not even an interview invite, unfortunately. Timing seemingly a factor, but not the only one, unsure (Jan LSAT, 3 Feb score release, application shortly thereafter - so post-priority deadline for HLS)
…if you can Boston College: no optional essay GULC: alumni interview that I thought went really well, set up meetings with faculty in my area of interest and wrote a LOCI on it.
