…I spent $2000 in applications. It was well worth it. – Interview advice: a lot of interviews are temperature checks (are you a normal person). Come prepared with specifics about each law school (classes, professors, clinics) that excite you and make you want to attend them. Do a few practice interviews with…
…This is my most surprising A IMO. I was not invited to interview for a Deans or Levy scholarship. Need-based grant offered on 3/15 in the afternoon over email.

…at Michigan on 11/11/2020 and got the invite for a Darrow interview in early December (interview date and date awarded the Darrow are listed in scholarship details).

…and the to-do list will get shorter. Be authentic in interviews. I was kind of weird in all of my interviews, but being yourself is always better than trying to be “more impressive” or “smarter.” Prepare a little bit ahead of each interview and then just go do your best. They are interviewing you because they like…
