Probably R&Ring. I liked BU, but it’s not worth $200k+ in debt. Emory’s offer is pretty compelling - it’s a good school and they offered me a lot of money (I interviewed for the Woodruff), but I feel like I owe it to myself to try again (this was a very personal decision, and maybe not the right one. We’ll see 🤷♂️).…

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.

Wrote Why Berkeley, Why UVA, Why Michigan No interview for GULC or any other programs so far Have prior Masters degree and 5+ years of work experience in field related to that degree.
Wrote a diversity statement (that was unrelated to being an URM), “why x” for Michigan and Berk, interviewed with WashU, and did optional essays whenever available.
