I scheduled short zoom calls with admissions personnel at UChicago, WashU, and UMich, I would highly recommend doing so for schools that offer it.

Wrote supplementals for all my apps. Did any optional interviews. I know I want to practice in Texas, tailored my school list towards that. 3/23 Update - It was always UT, everywhere I applied was for leverage to negotiate with UT. I have a lot of personal ties to the university and Austin that were hard to give up.…

…This should go without saying, but if they have optional interviews or essays, you need to do them, full stop.
