  How Rachel Got Into Yale Law With a 170 LSAT

  Aug 19, 202644 minS3

  What does it take to get into Yale Law School when your numbers aren't at the top of the school's medians? In this episode, Autumn and Morgan talk with Rachel, a future Yale Law student whose path to law school included a math degree from CU Boulder, work in gun violence prevention, an internship at the White House, and two years working for Gabby Giffords. Rachel applied to nine law schools and was admitted to Yale, Harvard, Stanford, Duke, Georgetown, and CU Boulder. Her LSAT was a 170 and her GPA was a 3.91, both below the medians at Yale, Harvard, and Stanford.So what made her application stand out? The conversation gets into one of the most important themes in the law-school admissions process: authenticity. Rather than trying to become the applicant a particular law school wants, Rachel learned how to show up as her whole self. That consistency created the "gossamer thread" woven throughout her entire application. Book your free strategy call: https://www.gradmissions.org/contact

  Aug 12, 202629 minS3

  Interview season is here, and med school interviews can feel like the most intimidating step after months of applications and secondaries. In this episode of the GradMissions Office Hours Podcast, the team breaks down what applicants can actually expect from medical school interviews, from traditional panels and MMIs to group interviews and asynchronous virtual interviews. They talk through how to prepare for different formats, what interviewers are evaluating, and why your ability to listen, communicate, and work with others matters just as much as having the “right” answers.

  Here's Why You Should Go to an LSAC Forum

  Jul 22, 202627 minS3

  The first LSAC Forum of the cycle has wrapped, which means another law school admissions season is officially underway. In this episode, Autumn shares what it's like on the other side of the table after returning from the Washington, D.C. forum. From planning your route through a crowded ballroom to knowing which questions keep a conversation going, this is the advice that comes from years spent meeting applicants face-to-face. There isn't one perfect way to work a forum. Some conversations will be memorable. Some schools won't be the right fit. The goal isn't to impress every admissions representative in the room. It's to leave knowing more than you did when you walked in.
