…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.

…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…

They are interviewing you because they like…

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