Admitted to University of Florida (Levin)…I utilized my consultant for general advice on interviews, letters of continued interest (LOCI), and email correspondence.

…(I regret not doing the Top 10 list, as after my group interview with Dean Andy I feel much more compelled to possibly attend). The WL here stung a bit. Made no efforts to get off the WL. **UT Austin **- Nothing (I considered doing a Why X, but ultimately decided not to as the application did not seem to have an…
…essay. Proudest of my SLS essays. They were damn good. Interviews: Berkeley Kira: Felt good. GULC: Group interview. Felt good. Texas Kira: Felt awkward. Cornell Kira: Felt awkward. Northwestern Kira: Felt good. HLS: Felt pretty good, but didn’t feel like I drove my points home clearly. Columbia: Felt good. My…

Kira: Cornell, Northwestern, UTexas -Did very little prep, and I think that helped me come off as personable, mature, and authentic, though the Kira interviews were miserable. -Just made sure to have “why law” and…

…and lost my voice for over a week after receiving the interview invite. I was planning on completing it once I was able to speak clearly again, but then they rejected me first. I didn’t bother appealing since I had received a scholarship from Michigan and a Columbia A by then. TL;DR didn’t complete the Cornell…
…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…
…I received the KD. I connected incredibly well with my interviewer, and I kept in contact with her throughout the admissions cycle. Without that relationship, I do not believe I would have gotten it. Adcomms are human––be kind always, be yourself, and maintain the connections you make. My Decision: My decision came…
R&R’d from 2021-2022 Cycle (ForTheShoe) 163–>174 I am **awful **at Kira interviews.
…I had a decision. They clearly weren’t interested, no interview and months of silence. Redacted GPA. Anyone interested in outcomes— 1L top 20%, took 2L biglaw in SF. No issue getting callbacks in LA/SF the two cities I applied to.

…believe those! I thought I fumbled the hell out of my interviews and essays after working on them for months, and it was just typical neuroticism (I got in).
…It also really helps you formulate a “Why X” essay/interview answer Don’t sacrifice your application quality in the name of applying early.
