…for the future Berkeley - Why Berk: Generic Interview: Georgetown Group Interview: I prepared by looking at 7Sage. I formed my own opinions during the meeting, provided reasoning without restating what was already said and by pulling from common knowledge rather than what was just presented, I always stuck with my…

Admitted to Georgetown University…one was personal and decently researched. Had an alum interview with GULC, no hardball questions, mostly just talked about why law school and why GULC; wasn’t sent the merit aid application form, had to reach out to admissions and ask for it; Did NU Kira, six questions, was cut off while answering the first question…
…for Penn; wrote about thesis topic for Yale 250. Kira interview for Northwestern; group interview for GULC. Chicago UR3 on 2/15.
…optional Did NW Kira UCLA Pragmatic Contribution Why USC Interviews: https://7sage.com/admissions/lesson/law-school-interviews/ - this website was a godsend!!! wasn’t always accurate but really helped get a good idea of what to expect I made sure to have Why Law & Why (x school) down, as well as focused on…
…to decide between Minnesota and Georgetown until I got the interview invite from UVA, and had such a lovely conversation with my interviewer that I was in the midst of typing out a “I will drop everything and commit to UVA” email when I got the call the next day. All my other schools offered me much more money, but…

…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. Because I did not get to finish my last two years of undergrad due to Covid and moving home to help my mom after she got sick, I wanted to go to a school that still had…
…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…
…materials. Give your all on your LSAT and essays. In your interviews, keep your narrative coherent! Don’t come up with a new personality or legal interest, I’d say. Stay within the range of what they know about you. Stay off Reddit after you submit. Use the search function for any specific questions. Who cares about…
…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!
…statement was one of the best she’d ever read during my interview with them, so I’d say my writing was likely pretty good. Sent periodic LOCIs until June or so to all WL schools except Vandy, UCLA and USC. It didn’t help at all - getting off the waitlist is ridiculously hard. Takeaways: Don’t take too many risks in…
…stayed on the HLS WL until June and ended up receiving an interview and a feeler offer. However, by this point, I’d already comitted to UVA both literally and in my head. I still wanted the HLS clout, but I couldn’t see myself anywhere but UVA. I have to live with knowing that I turned down HLS, but I think that…
…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. You’ll get your decision when the school is ready to give it. Don’t be afraid to be vulnerable. You can open up while not trauma dumping.
Accepted to Georgetown four weeks after submitting application, two weeks after the group interview.
