Admitted to University of Illinois—Urbana Champaign…go there. I prepared extensively (probably too much) for interviews, so no possible question could catch me off-guard. UofC managed to still do it, though, lol. **Authenticity: **I wrote my essays more colloquially than most people, with a personal narrative style, which I believe helped me stand out in a crowd of…
…if you’re a veteran/still in the military Be patient Interview advice: Practice live interviews with friends & family Do every optional interview Thank the interviewer for their time Have a few multi-use stories ready to pull Learn to answer in the STAR format Tell stories for as many answers as you can Dress for…
…Jan/early Feb. Also every student who applies to Elon is interviewed over the phone as part of the application process. Iowa requires you to register for a scholarship interview after being admitted. The earlier you can apply and hopefully be admitted, the better IMO so you can schedule and complete that interview.…

…what I believed to be a very strong Why UChicago (alas, no interview), and the Stanford music supplemental.

…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…
…W&M. William & Mary - Wrote Why X. WL on 2/21, invited to interview for admission on 2/29. They were straightforward about most admissions off the waitlist not happening until ~the second week of April. Sent LOCI on 3/8 Georgetown - Wrote Top 10 Books I read in 2023. Interviewed on 3/17, went about 10 minutes over…
…I should have wrote them regardless. Especially for Duke. Interviewed at WashU (adcomm), Vandy (alumni), GULC (group), Cornell (KIRA), Northwestern (KIRA). Advice: I think I re-wrote my PS and DS statements over 20 times lol. Create a really strong and cohesive narrative. My PS and DS were on different topics, yet…
…don’t take it personally. It’s far easier to answer an interview question or write an essay if you actually believe what you’re saying. If you can’t muster any sincerity, take that as a sign to carefully consider your course of action. Be consistently polite and friendly when communicating with adcoms. This goes…

…Acceptance. June 30, 2026 I was surprised to get an interview. A day later I got my acceptance email. Scholarship came afterwards. I attempted to negotiate to hopefully match the offer with Texas A&M, however I only got a few thousand dollars more. I am happy that I got another acceptance at a school like Wisconsin,…
…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.
