Michigan c/o 2020 applicants (2016-17) Forum

[studyingeveryday]

Thanks to those who answered my question before! I'm keeping my Why Michigan to two pages.

Another question: the resume guidelines say to state what your plans are from graduating until you begin law school. On the page after my resume, should I just write a few sentences stating my plans? I'm not quite sure how to put that in my actual resume without actually having a job yet.

I kept my resume to one page, and at the end (after listing my language & interests) I just put another bullet point and wrote one sentence on my future plans lol

Thanks! Anyone else do something different?

Never mind, I just did the same and submitted!

Just submitted with 3 LORs but I'm still missing one of them. Hopefully it will come soon, but will they go ahead and review my application without it since they only require one?

Got accepted via email at 6:30 a.m. this morning! I am thrilled.

My resume was two pages and I figured including my current position when I applied counted as indicating what I will be doing before law school for now - I plan to send an update when I have something new confirmed

Is anyone who admitted a legit splitter?

In! Got the email at 4:30 am. Stats: GPA below 25th, LSAT above 75th. Went complete on 10/28. Reconsidering my decision to apply ED to Penn now, though. How much better is Penn than Michigan for Big Law?

I wouldn't ED if you're not getting a scholarship for it, because you may end up having to pay sticker. The differences don't seem that big, but that's my opinion and admittedly I don't know much about this yet. But this may help you: https://www.lstreports.com/compare/michigan/penn/

Checking in!

Finally in. Above both 75s. Found out at 6:30 am via email!

Also wrote a Why Michigan.

Btw that email was bizarre...never seen something that weird.

[dc_diva]

In!!

LSAT = median, GPA is about 25%. I wrote a "Why Michigan" and may also be a URM -- schools tend to treat different Latin American countries a bit differently, so hard to tell! Super excited though!

So weird! I liked it though, kinda cute. The earlier one giving me a fee waiver was weird too

[shoparoundthecorner]

In! Above both 75ths. I agree that the email was very bizarre...

Edit: wrote a why Michigan

[pretzeltime]

uh either I got a different email or y'all need to lighten up a bit

Agreed - Dean Z and Michigan are known for their personal and collegial tone! I'd say the quirky/fun email was a plus.

Lmao no seriously it was super odd
