…was honestly a dream come true (I almost replied to the interview invite email within 15 seconds) as it was everything I wanted out of a law school.

…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…
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…
…I landed on my final copy. Do all optionals, prepare for interview, DONT use AI, and be authentic in your writing. Best of luck to you. And remember: God will never turn his back on you. It is never too late. Pray for strength and wisdom and growth. Life can be hard, but I found peace in reading the Bible and…
…some more information from you.” For Harvard, I thought my interview went well but I think my LOCI was too long and panicky (I put a lot of pressure on myself, I’m sure if you’re reading this you can totally relate to that) and that ultimately caused my R. For Columbia, as I sit and write this (4/9/26) I still…
…UPenn, which I think may have affected my results. While interviews can be really scary, I tried to focus less on the stakes and more on how awesome it is to be asked to share more about yourself. Good luck!

…I received the KD. I connected incredibly well with my interviewer, and I kept in contact with her throughout the admissions cycle. Without that relationship, I do not believe I would have gotten it. Adcomms are human––be kind always, be yourself, and maintain the connections you make. My Decision: My decision came…
…did I make sure to bring this up in my application and interview, but I also was able to learn additional info about the school (that you can’t find on their website) and talk with current students which made for amazing Why X statements. This entire process is so damn expensive already, but I promise you that…
…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…

Just goes to show you that you may have not done as poorly in the KIRA as you think… Anyways, this ultimately came down to UVA and Northwestern. Tbh before my cycle I felt more…
…you apply if you need help w/r/t a particular school’s interview and/or scholarship negotiation process. Once you apply, try to put everything out of sight and out of mind for a while. Using Reddit and checking status checkers are unproductive and bad for your mental health. Be kind, give to charity, check in on…
