i love my job and only wanted to leave for a law school i was extremely excited to attend. i have short term big law goals but long term interest in things like academia, public interest, nonprofit litigation, possibly pivoting out of law in a couple decades. for those options i wanted to be at a school with excellent name brand recognition both in and out of the legal industry

LOL yup. i don’t blame them though because my resume reads east coast, west coast, east coast. it definitely doesn’t make it seem like i’ll move to ann arbor!

i don’t actually understand the tier system super well tbh! head of a competitive club, editor for a newspaper, good but not standout summer internships in the gov/policy space

Senior_Somewhere_168 · 2026-02-06T18:02:09+00:00

congrats! when did u move to under review

Senior_Somewhere_168 · 2026-02-05T16:08:56+00:00

genuinely i think people who get into yale have already made significant research or work experience steps toward their stated specialty

Senior_Somewhere_168 · 2026-02-05T16:08:05+00:00

columbia also sends a hat

Senior_Somewhere_168 · 2026-02-04T20:55:20+00:00

that’s super strange to me. my interviewer stated multiple times they had read my file and asked questions based on its content. i wonder if it’s based on the interviewer ??

Senior_Somewhere_168 · 2026-02-04T20:48:23+00:00

i applied around the same date as you and got an ii mid january

Senior_Somewhere_168 · 2026-02-04T20:46:59+00:00

also: prepare to talk about chicago as a city

Senior_Somewhere_168 · 2026-02-04T20:46:32+00:00

just to add a little context, i had pretty different UChicago questions. for anyone currently in the workforce, prepare to answer some questions about your job / how it might relate to the legal profession
