Admitted to Boston University…felt I needed to raise some eyebrows to get my name on the interview list. I made fairly formulaic LOCIs for the other places I was waitlisted (how their programs connect with my interest, what I like about their location, what I want to do there, etc), but not Harvard’s. It’s been my top choice since day 1, and I…

I didn’t bother appealing since I had received a scholarship from Michigan and a Columbia A by then. TL;DR didn’t complete the Cornell…
PS included very strong reasons to stay in Boston. HLS interview went smoothly, neither great nor terrible. No “why X”, optional essays, or diversity statements. I’m having lots of fun with this text editor.

After strongly considering Berk and Mich, personal life circumstances intervened that made it difficult for me to leave SoCal. Still have no regrets about applying to 20 schools because it gave me a better idea of my worth and a…
