Who did you send it to? I'm assuming as a .pdf doc attachment to an email addressed to admissions?

Yeah sent as a .pdf with my LSAC# in the body to the general admissions email. Let me know they added it like half an hour later.

Awesome, thanks. Gonna shoot one their way as well.

The first line of "Only the Good Die Young" by Billy Joel has never been more spot on: "Come on, Virginia, don't let me wait!"

What questions did people have in their interviews for UVA? Is there anything in particular that I should be wary of?

I'd also like to know this. From my basic research, it looks like interviews were pretty standard Why Law, why UVA type of questions

IIRC (my interview was a week or two ago and even though it went relatively well, I tend to block things like this out of my memory) I was only directly asked one question, which was kind of job-interview-esque. I'd been expecting "why law" or "why UVA" so I was thrown slightly off guard. It wasn't super tough or anything, though, I think it was just to confirm fit. The rest of the interview was asking questions and chatting about the culture at the school. Definitely appreciated how relaxed the whole thing was, especially since I'm pretty awkward and uncomfortable in interviews.

Thanks. Yeah, I just tend to... over-prepare, so any insight (such as this) is appreciated.

Same here - it's good to be prepared, of course, but don't sweat it. Even if you get hit with something unexpected, I don't think UVA's strategy is to try and trick you. I got the impression that they're just looking to make sure that you're a decent human being.

...better keep studying then.

..... Yeah I'm screwed if that's what they are looking for

Oh, something interesting that I just remembered from my interview (unrelated to questions/format) - I was told that my app had been read by an alum, who then made some sort of evaluation/recommendation that they passed onto the adcomm. Was kinda surprised to hear that, not necessarily in a bad way - but is this common practice among law schools?

What questions did people have in their interviews for UVA? Is there anything in particular that I should be wary of?

My interviewer asked me why law, why UVA, my work experience, my hobbies on my resume and stuff on my application. I had already written a Why X for UVA so I prepared to say things that weren't already in my apps. I didn't get thrown any political questions or random curveballs and the interview questions were things that you would already know about yourself! Mine lasted around 45 minutes including questions I had. I also agree with the above posters that the interview was very easygoing and relaxed.

Mine only lasted twelve minutes so don't stress if it's short.

If anyone is on the admitted students FB page and wants to add me, I'm sure you can figure out which one is me.

I went to a UVA alumni/admitted student reception in my city this week and was surprised that I didn't see any of the same faces I saw at the prospective students' dinner that UVA hosted here several months ago.

Hope you guys are doing okay and are happy with your cycles!

Damn dude...I see you're really crushing the free dinner/drinks bennies that come with law school admission.

Is it weird to join multiple schools' fb groups for admitted students?

That was the sweetest interview ever. Interviewer was just generally awesome, and I hope to hear back soon!

Questions involved why law, why UVA, some stuff in my transcript/resume, and my current job. Then I got to ask questions. Y'all were right, and I was once again... over-prepared for an interview.

Any one else frustrated that Accepted Students Weekend is during the week? I'd love to attend but can't burn two work-days to do so...

More frustrated that I'm still just UR1 when I have numbers to get in (and it's my top choice), but I'm sure I'll be frustrated about that later on in the cycle.

Edit: OH HOT DAMN UR2 JUST HAPPENED

Did you interview with Dean Faulk?
