…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…

…pre-application interactions. Enjoyed the conversational interview. Scholarship waiting period was stressful, but it remained my top choice. Michigan – Wish I had applied earlier. Sent an employment update before the WL decision. UCLA – Attended virtual events. No interview. Dean Schwartz was approachable pre and…
…and was unimpressed. I’m worried this showed in my KIRA interview. I did more reading on NU and realize it would be a super great fit for me. Will send LOCI per my CLS policy. Cornell Notes | Panic applied last minute. I did not complete any additional essays. Frankly surprised by the WL so I wrote a super-strong…

…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…
