Admitted to University of Michigan…of my HLS R, I got that after what I thought was a great interview and having already been accepted to SLS, but it still really hurt and threw me threw a loop. Not shocked about my UCLA WL I knew I should’ve sent in a LOCI or applied for Achievement Fellowship, but out of the options I have available I likely…
Go Hoos! Personal statement matters, and your interview matters. Numbers only get you to the interview. If you’re STEM, that’s a big boost wherever you go. Adcoms and employers will assume you’re intelligent and logical, so make sure to have your personality shine when you apply! Also, don’t forget to be real…
…Yale, and Berkeley. I was waitlisted at all 3. My Yale interview was not ideal (asked some tough questions that I felt were really missing the point and focusing on ancient history) but that’s life! On the other hand, my Chicago interview was awesome and I was still WL both placed. I wrote a LOCI for Chicago really…

…this to help much, but it kept getting referenced in my interviews and was always a good response for the “leadership” question Wrote all the optionals/supplementals Framed “Why” essays by doing one paragraph about why the school is a good personal fit, another about why academically. Also helped me figure out why I…
…Values essay NW: did not add why X. addressed that in KIRA interview. applied for one of their dual degree programs GULC: did a different optional essay this time. first time I did top 10. wanted to show I was committed, so I chose another option that I think I did well on.

…don’t take it personally. It’s far easier to answer an interview question or write an essay if you actually believe what you’re saying. If you can’t muster any sincerity, take that as a sign to carefully consider your course of action. Be consistently polite and friendly when communicating with adcoms. This goes…

…and lost my voice for over a week after receiving the interview invite. I was planning on completing it once I was able to speak clearly again, but then they rejected me first. 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…
…Also, I accidentally missed my first Georgetown interview (they sent an email the day before saying they had to move it up an hour earlier, and I completely missed it). Figured I was done for there, but they let me reschedule and I ended up getting in with a strong scholarship. That’s definitely where I would’ve…
Apply early and broadly and never be afraid to send a scholarship reconsideration email. 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…
…and was the main topic of conversation in every single interview. Try to avoid falling into the wave prediction rabbit hole. It’s just going to make you anxious.
