Admitted to George Washington University…and their surrounding areas in preparation for any interviews. Find a clinic you’re curious about and email the professor as an interested prospective student; without fail, every professor I did this with got back to me within the next day. Nevertheless, understand that this process might have something much cooler…
…did the optional essay, chose the best advice one. did not interview. regular waitlist Emory: applied ED and originally didn’t submit my addendum. then a couple months later, i submitted my addendum with an updated resume. still rejected. UGA: was put on hold then got the A months later. they didnt want to release…
…commitment and an obvious why law, but my essays and interview had to more specifically address the “why now?” I encourage everyone to get AT LEAST 2 years of work experience. All of the attorneys I work with, including the few that went straight through, encourage this. You will be so much more professional, have…
…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…
…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. Put on hold in december then waitlisted february, honestly I have not been super impressed with the way that GULC addresses applicants (put…
Wrote optional essays, GPA addendum, and opted into any interview possible. Stay off the reddit and trust your gut, not internet strangers! :)
…Wrote LSAT addendum for first LSAT score Received no interview invites Do your best to stay positive throughout the admissions process and try to not obsessively check LSA Reddit or LSData :)
…academic addendum. I know for a fact that my essays and interviews were what got me very far in the admissions process- spend a lot of time on those and don’t short change yourself! To any URM applicants looking, don’t listen to Reddit- shoot your shot and know that with good apps and dedication to the LSAT, you can…
…attention to detail is key. *If offered any opportunity to interview, whether via Kira (sigh) or otherwise, do so. Play your favorite song before it begins to hype yourself up, and get it done. The school will be lucky to have you! Remember to show them that, and no matter what, don’t forget to smile even if you’re…
…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…
…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…
…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…
Do every optional zoom, every optional essay, every optional interview. go to every admitted student’s day you can. i had no clue each school would actually differ in terms of culture, academic rigor, etc.
