Admitted to Washington and Lee University…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.…

…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…
…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…
…I should have wrote them regardless. Especially for Duke. Interviewed at WashU (adcomm), Vandy (alumni), GULC (group), Cornell (KIRA), Northwestern (KIRA).

if you’re trying to get into a school, make your presence known there. Email your interest, interview, follow up. Your personality and passion could be what get you in.
…This should go without saying, but if they have optional interviews or essays, you need to do them, full stop. It can be a pain in the ass, especially when applying to a lot of schools, but I do not doubt that if a school is on the fence about your application, and you didn’t write the optional essay, you will get…
…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.
…and George Mason were the best fits for me. Georgetown: Interviewed mid October; Was on the regular waitlist; Applied to both FT/PT; Received a feeler March 26 about my interest in the PT program; Was released from the WL May 14; I think they didn’t have any more space specifically in the evening program George…
…and wide, doing all optional essays and pre-recorded video interviews. I reused some of my essays but also wrote probably 10 unique essays in total. Every school I applied to was intentional– I didn’t throw out a reach school “just to see” (I didn’t have the money to do that). The “safeties” I applied to were all…
