  Hi, I'm on the clubhouse app now and I added the event to my calendar, but I can't find a way to formally RSVP. Is the session already filled up? Thanks!

  Hi @"Burden.of.Floof"

  If you have a Clubhouse account, use this link to RSVP and join Club 7Sage: https://www.joinclubhouse.com/event/mWVlLnN8.

  If you do not currently have Clubhouse access, or are on the Clubhouse waitlist, the first 1,000 people to use this link (https://www.clubhouse.com/join/club-7sage/yS292mCD/mWVlLnN8) will be able to skip the Clubhouse waitlist for access to the platform, RSVP for our event, and join Club 7Sage.

  Hi, I have a same situation. I did everything but I can't find a way to formally RSVP other than the notification ring button. Is there a formal way to RSVP? or can I just join when it starts?

  Hi @alexkoo095! If you clicked on the link, the app considers you RSVP'd. It will ping you when the even room opens up. I'd recommend also following Club 7Sage if you aren't already.

  Hi @selenalabair, it will definitely be posted to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Soundcloud. I'm not sure about Google, but it's worth searching: 7Sage!

  Hi @"Tajira - Admissions Consultant" ! I attended this event on splitters, which was really helpful. I was one of the people with my hand up at the end that there wasn't enough time to get to. I tried to post my question on Twitter but haven't gotten a response so am wondering if I perhaps tagged it incorrectly (#7SageonCH).

  In any case, I was hoping I could just direct my question here:

  Somewhat analogous to the question that was raised about premed majors as a particular class of low GPA splitters, I wanted to ask about what I imagine is another particular class of low GPA splitters: first generation, low-income students who experienced adjustment difficulties at, at minimum, the outset of college and then atypical adversities throughout college (so no upward GPA trend to point to). Do you have any advice for navigating the application pieces/the overarching message strategy across the different application pieces for this class of splitters in general? And any pointed advice on tackling the GPA addendum, especially in trying to walk that fine line between explanation and excuse? The first-gen low income status feels like a delicate topic to dance around. Any application pieces I attempt seem to either under-explain/under-contextualize or over-explain/over-share.

  Hi @HLoom1222, thank you so much for joining us on Clubhouse and for your question! It's not uncommon to see 1st gen college students or students who've faced socioeconomic hardships need an adjustment period to acclimate to college, and it's not necessarily something that needs to be treated delicately--context isn't an excuse. Your perspective and needs as a first generation student who perhaps also faced socioeconomic hardship make a lot of sense as a topic for a diversity statement, and it's something that then layers well with a GPA addendum that addresses the adjustment period and then highlights the progress after you got settled in. Each written statement layers upon the next, and when used effectively, they create a clear picture of your candidacy as a potential law student.
