For Clinics
For Centers
For Journals

I found two things from the website that aligned with my goals/interest and wove it into a coherent short paragraph.
This is really helpful, thank you!

Thanks for answering! :) I was hoping maybe UR3 meant I'd avoided the dreaded LikeLive interview but I guess I'm not in the clear yet...

Just accepted via email! LSAT at 25, GPA>75. Went complete 1/13 and had date changes on 1/14 and 1/26 (a separate change this morning before the acceptance change now). Best of luck to everyone still waiting and congrats to those who got in!

In today! No interview, 3 date changes.

Does anyone know how long the wait is for the acceptance package? Or are they one of those weird only email schools (i.e. WashU)?

Never got around to posting this but I got the reserve email 1/24 after having 3 date changes (I believe the latest was 1/14). LSAT=75th, GPA<25th
