…not submit any supplemental essays. Completed KIRA video interview. Sort of phoned this application and KIRA interview in so I was happy with the waitlist. **GULC (A) **- Wrote both “Why Georgetown” and “Top 10” essays. Did a unique/humorous Top 10 list which I think helped me stand out. Also included brief LSAT…
…with as official scores!!!!! ««< Good luck! **Harvard Interview: ** I am one of the few people who got rejected from Harvard after getting an interview lol. Harvard published stats from the 20-21 cycle and reported that 74% of interviewees were accepted, making me part of the bottom 26% (assuming the percentages are…
…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. I sent a pre-decision LOCI on 2/24. Only one…
…waiting on the third. Got an invite for a pre-application interview at WashU. Excited to do it, but also dubious of its value when the interviewer hasn’t yet read my application materials. Did give me a bit of an ego boost, which is probably the intended effect. 8/27/2025: I officially have the 3 LoR I have…
…11/22) and then UR4 on 12/4 (the day before I got the II). Interviewer was the sweetest person in the world and was just incredibly kind to me. Got the acceptence call around 7:00 am MST, and had a voicemail left (I was sleeping). Called back when I woke up :) ASU was my second A, I found out via email right as I…
…got the R in Feb when I already had 8 T15 acceptances, an interview for BLOS for $$$$ at Berk, and $$$ from Michigan). Now, I look back and I am so grateful I had the choices I did, because it made me make the most financially sound decision and I am happy where I landed- . If Harvard would have accepted me, I would…
…but not selected as finalist (such a tease) Harvard interview: The most one-sided of all my interviews. I immediately felt good about it (told some friends I probably had a 9/10 performance), but then I fell into a downward spiral of overthinking every response. In particular, I said my “greatest weakness” in terms…

…redaction. Applied on this date 10/3/2023 - Received an interview invite from WUSTL 10/24/2023 - Interviewed with WUSTL, the interview went pretty well but felt a bit short and I feel like I could’ve said more. The main thing I regret is not being ready to talk about my personal life and hobbies when asked.…
…I hit on the same anecdote in every single one of my interviews, and I think it was well-received. Harvard Statement of Purpose -I opted for a different approach contrary to what many recommended. I did not use my traditional Personal Statement for this topic. Instead, I went with a much more direct 1-page statement…
…reach & resident, II on 11/7, conducted the pre-recorded interview on 11/11. Y’ALL SOMEHOW SOME WAY THEY LET ME IN! Dean Le called me around 3:00pm on 12/20 and the poor man barely had a chance to say congratulations before I started crying. I hope everyone sees my stats and understands that you always have a…
…a few months of silence Chicago - nothing extra, mediocre interview, no LOCI for WL Harvard - nothing extra Columbia - nothing extra, no LOCI for WL Penn - strong Core Values, wrote essay for Dean’s Scholarship NYU - nothing extra, wrote mini LOCI after Hold UVA - nothing extra, wrote LOCI after a few months of…
…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…
…a friend. **Personal statement ** Do not use AI at all! **Interviews ** I thought most of my interviews went poorly, but I was admitted to 4/5 of schools I interviewed at. I still cringe thinking about some of my interview answers, so know that there is hope if you feel like an interview didn’t go well. Although I…
…essays submitted with app. Felt good about the interview. Penn (A) - Submitted a supplemental essay, felt like it was strong and expressed good alignment with Penn offerings in it. Duke (A) - Felt good about this whole app. Re-used and adjusted supplements. Did not complete financial aid interview – was awarded $0.…
…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. Requested need-based grant increase 3/28 after visiting on 3/24. Withdrew on 4/3, before hearing back about aid reconsideration, when I decided to commit to…
