Admitted to University of Michigan…not submit any supplemental essays. Completed KIRA video interview. Sort of phoned this application and KIRA interview in so I was happy with the waitlist. **GULC (A) **- Wrote both “Why Georgetown” and “Top 10” essays. Did a unique/humorous Top 10 list which I think helped me stand out. Also included brief LSAT…
…you. I applied on 10/20, went complete 10/20, received the interview invite on 10/21 (which I completed on 11/11 — very conversational interview mostly on why WashU, my work experience, and journey to law school), and received word of the waitlist decision on 3/13. I sent a pre-decision LOCI on 2/24. Only one…
…got the R in Feb when I already had 8 T15 acceptances, an interview for BLOS for $$$$ at Berk, and $$$ from Michigan). Now, I look back and I am so grateful I had the choices I did, because it made me make the most financially sound decision and I am happy where I landed- . If Harvard would have accepted me, I would…
…I spent $2000 in applications. It was well worth it. – Interview advice: a lot of interviews are temperature checks (are you a normal person). Come prepared with specifics about each law school (classes, professors, clinics) that excite you and make you want to attend them. Do a few practice interviews with…
…a friend. **Personal statement ** Do not use AI at all! **Interviews ** I thought most of my interviews went poorly, but I was admitted to 4/5 of schools I interviewed at. I still cringe thinking about some of my interview answers, so know that there is hope if you feel like an interview didn’t go well. Although I…
…Scholarship the following week. Michigan Invited to interview for the Darrow- 12/16. Interviewed on 1/16 and got the award one week later on 1/23. NYU Invited to interview for RTK- on 2/7. Withdrew from RTK before the interview because I knew I would take the Darrow/Mordecai/AnBryce over the RTK with its five-year…

…at Michigan on 11/11/2020 and got the invite for a Darrow interview in early December (interview date and date awarded the Darrow are listed in scholarship details). There aren’t a ton of details about the Darrow interview, so I’ll say it was a very standard interview by law school admissions standards—the person I…
…I wrote optionals for every school I could and took all interviews. I bombed the NU KIRA so if you get nervous during interviews I would practice first. I think I did well for most of my other interviews, with Chicago’s being my favorite! If you do not have the strongest numbers, make sure your essays, rec letters,…
…was mission critical, I think. Definitely do a Why UVA), I interviewed and was accepted at the end. They initially offered me $0 but I emailed Dean Blazer and was able to negotiate up to $15k per year.

…Core Values, not strong but not mediocre? Not Invited to Interview for Dean’s Scholly or any Named Schollies. UVA - Nothing (Wish I would’ve wrote a why UVA but I guess it didn’t matter). Got accepted at my interview. Berkeley - Extended my PS to more than 3 pages as requested. Wrote a strong Why X imo. but maybe…
…I’m from the area (although didn’t mention this until the interview, which is stupid. Write Why Xs people), so that may have helped make me seem like a fit Vandy–Did the alumni interview, waited for six months and then got WL. Interview was meh, and past data suggested I’d either get $$$ or WL, so with my bad softs…
…and the to-do list will get shorter. Be authentic in interviews. I was kind of weird in all of my interviews, but being yourself is always better than trying to be “more impressive” or “smarter.” Prepare a little bit ahead of each interview and then just go do your best. They are interviewing you because they like…
…For Northwestern, I opted out of the “optional” video interview. DO THE OPTIONAL VIDEO INTERVIEW IF YOU WANT TO GO TO NORTHWESTERN!
