…time. Softs really can move the needle. On that note, my interviews were far from ideal and I did notice typos on my apps afterwards, but it worked out. It’s really important to come off authentic and personable to admissions
Wrote a diversity statement (that was unrelated to being an URM), “why x” for Michigan and Berk, interviewed with WashU, and did optional essays whenever available.
…with a scholarship. I would recommend you listen to the interviews with admissions faculty members 7Sage has on their podcast. They offer some insight and useful tips for when applying. Remember, you’ve got this! Best of luck with your admissions cycle!
get some work experience, do practice interviews with someone that doesn’t know you, and apply early.
…required disclosure of civil violations. Had an alumni interview for GULC. I have a master’s degree in a related field and a peer-reviewed publication in an unrelated field (endocrinology, long story).
…and George Mason were the best fits for me. Georgetown: Interviewed mid October; Was on the regular waitlist; Applied to both FT/PT; Received a feeler March 26 about my interest in the PT program; Was released from the WL May 14; I think they didn’t have any more space specifically in the evening program George…
…me more meaningfully consider the school. Look up the Kira interview questions before you do them and plan out an answer. I did the Berkeley one without knowing what questions they would ask, and I think that made my response much more disjointed/inarticulate than it had to be. While I didn’t phone in any of my…
…believe those! I thought I fumbled the hell out of my interviews and essays after working on them for months, and it was just typical neuroticism (I got in).
Reapplying in a few years for HLS. If you get an HLS II, don’t brick the interview like me
…and dedicated to your success. Also did optional video interview, spoke to dean of admission twice as well discussing the school and other things. STRONG reach for me based off hard stats but I LOVE the school and expect an R maybe a WL, they are very interested in climbing ranks and being the top Texas LS. They are…

The application cycle is a lot like sorority rush. If you did not endure the chaos of trying to get into a sorority, it is a double sided interview where if done correctly guides you to the sorority that you want and wants you. While acceptances, rejections, and waitlists are cruel it guides you to the school that…
…It also really helps you formulate a “Why X” essay/interview answer Don’t sacrifice your application quality in the name of applying early. I waited until December for several of my apps to be perfect, and I am grateful I waited in the end. Negotiatie, negotiate, negotiate! I used different offers/asks and…
…to have several people look over your essay drafts. For interviews, overprepare and use 7sage to find questions in advance. It also helps to draw from specific examples and interactions you had with the school. AOs love that. Don’t be afraid to update schools on important mid-cycle professional or academic…
…each year. A separate application is required, and the interview process is extensive. The school itself also offered a Dean’s Scholarship, valuated at $150,000. I believe this scholarship is not conditional, but I am not certain. (02/27/2024) I had an updated transcript sent to LSAC a few weeks ago to include a…
…and wide, doing all optional essays and pre-recorded video interviews. I reused some of my essays but also wrote probably 10 unique essays in total. Every school I applied to was intentional– I didn’t throw out a reach school “just to see” (I didn’t have the money to do that). The “safeties” I applied to were all…
