…enough in me to add to my PS and write a why x for them. Interviews GULC - I did not perform particularly well, not poorly, but I was probably the least impressive of those in my interview. Vandy - Super chill but I was unprepared and had to take the call on my cell phone while in a very busy park. UT - I never…

Georegetown WL was “special group within the preferred waitlist” Sent LOCI to UVA in March (I heard we were supposed to do this very late. It…

…I submitted a LOCI each month and completed the interview. I received a feeler email on 7/28, I responded to it and then received a feeler call that same day. Received offer of admission on 7/29. UVA - I went UR2 end of Sept, read that you could send in a LOCI if you hadn’t heard back from them in months so I sent…

…UCI, and chose it over Northwestern. I then got a waitlist interview request from UCLA Law. During the time in between I had attended the Waitlist webinar (they know if you attended it and mark it down) and had sent 3 LOCIs (1 per month). I did the interview and was accepted off the waitlist. UCLA offered me an…
…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…
…rejected from UVA before I withdrew my app, but I wasn’t interviewed so I was getting rejected. Realized very quickly that I didn’t want to be in Texas (what was I thinking?) or Boston so didn’t try at ALL on those WLs. Only submitted LOCIs to Wake and W&M. Immediately interviewed after WLed at W&M and admitted…
…reviewing it as a digital document. 4. Don’t stress the interview. Pick only a few things to focus on in a “Why X” essay or interview question, and roll with that. Don’t compromise depth for the sake of quantity. Explain how you can benefit from that school specifically and maybe how the school can benefit from you…
…that I got my full-tuition offers at two of the schools I interviewed at. For Iowa and Wisconsin, I think they really want to ensure that you’re actually considering attending the school and have legitimate reasons for going there. They are less likely to give out quite as much money to someone who has no or few…
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…
…Scholarship I also had a media appearance where I was interviewed by a major news outlet in 2021 for something new and cool I had done regarding racial justice. I added this to my resume under a “media appearances” section and provided a link to the article and interview on the resume. This was also the video I used…
…felt I needed to raise some eyebrows to get my name on the interview list. I made fairly formulaic LOCIs for the other places I was waitlisted (how their programs connect with my interest, what I like about their location, what I want to do there, etc), but not Harvard’s. It’s been my top choice since day 1, and I…
