Got accepted at my interview. Berkeley - Extended my PS to more than 3 pages as requested. Wrote a strong Why X imo. but maybe…

UVA - I went UR2 end of Sept, read that you could send in a LOCI if you hadn’t heard back from them in months so I sent…
…of my HLS R, I got that after what I thought was a great interview and having already been accepted to SLS, but it still really hurt and threw me threw a loop.

…is an awesome way to make students feel wanted. I interviewed with Dean Andy in a group-style Zoom meeting. The questions were simple and light-hearted, and everyone I know from the group got an offer of admission. The scholarship was very generous too, easily outnumbering my offers from every other T14 school, even…

…month spent writing these essays & apply earlier. I only interviewed with UChicago and I think that speaks volumes to the reasons for why I received WL/R from all other T14s. -UCLA requested an interview (4/26) while on the WL but I decided to withdraw. -Apply earlier and to more schools than you planned for (’cuz…
…(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.
