Make sure to carefully read the scholarship award requirements for each of your schools. Some have stipulations that require that you only deposit at one school if you deposit at their school, at risk of forfeiting your scholarship. This was the cas…

Looks like all of 7Sage is going to UCI. :B
They're very high on my list! It'll depend on if UT accepts my scholarship appeal letter. We can all be friiiieeeends.

All of the schools I'm most excited for coincidentally have excellent rock climbing gyms nearby. Oh gosh, there is this bolder gym in Austin that is incredible. I'd love to make it out two or three evenings a week-…
Unless it's totally usual for how long these schools are taking to get back to us, I think maybe the later responses from schools could be because of the higher volume of applications.
I applied in late December and am still waiting to hear back fr…
This is incredible! Best of luck to you! Sorry I don't know much about the Cornell interview process. There are probably few who could speak to this exact experience.
I'd say just prep for the main questions: why law, why Cornell, difficult experie…
One important thing for me is to find people that I really vibe with to have as roommates. I currently live in a kind of housing co-op and really like communal living (makes cost of living much cheaper and provides an amazing support system because …
This also happened to me. I got the highest tier scholarship at two state schools and they've both had law professors reach out to me by phone and email to ask me if I had any questions. I think @stephanie-2 said it best.
Y'all got this! I wouldn't worry about it. If you haven't written a Why Duke essay, then the LOCI is a great time to do that. :B Try and come up with a cool project or accomplishment to succeed at in the next few months to add to have something to a…
I just wanted to say that I'm grateful for this conversation. Thank you everyone for your thoughtful input. You've all taught me wonderful things and brought great insight.
@"Leah M B" I think you totally nailed it with the importance of this. Even if it's a school that you may not go to, you want to demonstrate interest in the school by responding to the email just in case shit hits the fan and you need to return to t…
There is a first reserve, a second reserve, and a third reserve (you can event visit the URLs for these pages where you opt in to the reserve list!). They are listed not in order or hierarchy but strictly ordered by time/cycles. Here's how it works:…

Hi @"Paul Caint", were you offered a group interview first or just the individual? I have a group interview and am curious about how one functions versus the other.
I wrote up a post about the group interview if you're int…

Sounds cliché, maybe, but I was always one of those kids who could talk their way into or out of anything (for example, let’s just say way more effort went into ‘arguing’ my way into a 3.8 high school gpa than went into any …

Great post!
So would you say the individuals selected for the group interview are a mixed bag? Also if you don't mind could you share your stats (don't have to if you don't wanna!)?
It's hard to say. It would be impo…

Wow that’s very interesting. Do you think this format is beneficial?
I definitely think the format is beneficial for better understanding how well applicants articulate and support their arguments. Even to me, it was clear w…
Oh I know! I have a criminal record and had to pull up (for the Florida and Texas schools that I applied to because of their bar requirements) both a formal opinion of the court and the police record for the incident. In addition to writing a statem…

Hey, who did you speak with? I went to their LSAC Forum in November (NYC) and spoke with a rep who then connected me with a student ambassador. In my "who influenced" and "why cornell" I mentioned my conversa…
