Thank you for doing these! Being able to see behind the curtain into the admissions process is immensely helpful. For a future video, I would love to find out what moves the needle between two candidates with similar LSAT/GPA and experience in terms of waitlist vs acceptance? To clarify, what are candidates lacking that get them on the waitlist instead of accepted right away? Or what extra qualities do some candidates possess that get them accepted over other candidates with similar numbers? Also, what are some mistakes that move a presumptive admit to a waitlist?

Great job. I would recommend reading an application that had a character and fitness addendum attached. It would be interesting to see how you all see explanations of that sort.

I am curious if tweeting at the school on Facebook would have helped Johnny's admissions chances? In all seriousness, I love these videos. They are so helpful when it comes to generating different ideas for my personal statement. Thank you Dean Z!!

Thank you for the excellent content. Any recommendations for non-traditional students with unique resumes/long time separation from undergraduate studies? I will use myself as an example. I will be a retired member of the military in the next couple of years and during my time in service obtained two graduate degrees with near 4.0 GPA's and both from pretty prestigious universities. I finished my undergraduate nearly 20 years ago with a GPA of around 3.0. I am in the process of taking the LSAT. However, my undergraduate GPA stares me in the face every day, and I feel it likely has little relevance to what I am capable of TODAY. Unfortunately, it's the only metric LSAC uses in their calculations. Just trying to get guidance on how I can make my application speak to my true capability in a system that seems like it might weed people out through algorithms. Thanks so much!

So with the question “has anyone in your family graduated Michigan Law?” If it is not reflective on your acceptance or denial, why ask?

Just speculating. One possibility is that university, state, or ABA policy may require units at the university to report the number of legacy admits. Even if it doesn't impact the application, it may be necessary data for a mandatory report.

Hi Dean Z! I'd love to ask what your reaction is when you see an applicant who is applying from a school outside of the US that you may not know - for example, a small university in Western Canada. Does it matter to you if you've never heard of its prestige, or are you more concerned with the applicants GPA and the rest of their resume/application requirements. Thanks!

Honestly, there aren’t very many schools that I’m not fairly familiar with-and that’s because if there’s a school that I’m not familiar with, I’ll look it up. But when my knowledge of a school is limited, it is true that other things expand to take the place of those impressions-so yes, I rely more on the rest of the many application elements.

Is it mandatory to have a personal statement topic, as compared to excluding it and giving readers the opportunity to ascertain the theme of the statement by themselves? Also, does an inclusion of a list of skills gained over the years in an applicant’s resume prove advantageous in any way?
@umichlaw
@umichlaw 3 жыл бұрын
I’m not sure I understand this. If you mean, is it necessary to explicitly state the topic, the answer is no; in general, in fact, I would say the better course is for the theme to be implicit. But if you mean, is it necessary for the writer to have a particular topic in mind, or is it okay for the reader to piece it all together-then the answer is no; you should certainly have a very clear sense of what it is you want the reader to take away from your writing. As for explicitly listing skills in a resume: I find that helpful, as a clear guidepost, but you should be including skills that are unusual (as opposed to, say, Microsoft Office) and not obvious from the context (as opposed to, say, operating a cash register in connection with a retail sales position).

Thanks for your response, Dean Z. On my first question, I meant the former interpretation. Your points are well noted. Thank you once again.

I noticed that the right side in the resume is not aligned up properly, as the margins are uneven. To me, that shows sloppiness.

This series is cool and all, but this specific example is nepotism at its finest. They may as well have been Dean Z's offspring.
