报JD offer攒人品

Time Line
-------------------
LSAT
08.15 到美国开始准备LSAT，课比较多而且还在写一篇大论文所以每天只能挤出来一小时练练两个section，到最后就做了不到30个pt觉得很惭愧。。九月份抱着试一下的心态就去了。虽然最后分数马马虎虎，可是还是很高兴~虽然和各路大神相距甚远不过感触就是去考了就有希望。

WUSTL
11.04 submitted;11.05 complete+request for interview;11.09 interview with Mary Clifford; 11.10 AD; 11.23 Dean's Fellowship （感恩节前收到全奖真是。。。）
面经
Mary Clifford人非常好 very conversational.
整个面试基本就是她在介绍WUSTL。聊了半个多小时就问了三个问句(不太像标准化的问题）
1. What are you doing now at Berkeley? 2. Where did you go for undergrad in China? 3. Your English is extraordinary, have you studied in the US before?

Vandy
11.09 submitted;12.05 interview with Caroline J.; 12.09 AD

面经
Caroline
1. Why a JD? Why Vandy?  2. Where u wanna practice after graduation 3. Resume 上问了两个问题 4. How do you like California?
然后就是问她的环节了。。no tricky questions

11.14 Submitted; 12.05 Completed; 12.23 Admit 01.12 Dean's Scholarship $120k

UCLA
11.09 submitted; 01.06 interviewed; 01.09 Admit

GULC
11.09 submitted; 12.14 interviewed; 01.10 收到snail mail

面经
不得不提GULC的校友面试真的超棒，感觉从预约到面试整个流程都非常成熟。面试的校友是三番kirkland的一个女合伙人，非常年轻也很平易近人。问了why GULC & what other schools have you applied to，其他大部分时间就是她在介绍gtown有多好和给我的职业建议。

NW
11.14 submitted; 12.09 interviewed; 02.07 decision letter available
挺惊讶的鉴于自己没有工作经验。

面经(alumni interview)
面试的是一个韩裔美国人，在social security administration工作，非常elegnt讲话很好听。面了一个多小时，和我分享了很多career development的经验+黑了半天gulc
问题
1. Why NW; 2. Why Law; 3. Most recent failure at school/work; 4. experience of working in a group setting (what role your in, what assignment did you accomplish);

我觉得劣势大于优势，不过申请很多都没出结果所以我不敢断论= =个人感觉优势就是来了更容易做很多ado很偏好的事情吧 比如做些公益活动之类的。劣势就是ado应该优先考虑多元化教育背景的然后才考虑advanced standing。而且你就要有一个足够有说服力的理由表明为什么你还要再念jd。
我是因为没有时间考，大四一年都在打moot+毕业论文。
