Thank you!! I was born in Michigan and have since moved out of the state. A possible return is extremely exciting.

>75th for LSAT, between the 25th and median for GPA. I'm also applying for deferred admission in 2017, so I may not be a good case to measure against.

Has anyone heard anything about the Darrow scholarship? Do we know how many people are interviewed for it, and what kinds of questions are asked in the interview?

Only one person thus far saying they've received a Darrow invite. Not sure how many people get interviewed, but I searched last year's applicant thread and found a list of Darrow interview questions.

Darrow Interview:

What has led to your success? People? Circumstances? Both?

What do you want to do with your law degree?

Discuss your current professional/academic situation in regards to your desire to pursue law school/legal job.

What are your hobbies outside of academia?

What is a moment of pride for you?

What has been a challenge for you?

What motivates you?

Thanks for digging! This is super interesting.

Anyone do ED and get accepted this week? Will we really get the final decision by 15? There's only four days left, I am kind of worried. BTW, does a pending LSAT score affect my ED result?

I applied ED too and still haven't heard anything. I've looked at some old threads and it seems like Mich sends out a lot of ED decisions on the 15th itself

Thx! That's helpful!

Just got deferred - it was in my promotions folder on gmail, FWIW. Figured it would be a rejection at this point so feeling w/e about it.

Welp, deferred ED. Fingers crossed for RD

Oh my god! So nervous. Are they sending emails or we should check the online status checker?

Did they send you an email or you saw it on the checker?

What does "deferred ED" supposed to mean? "waitlisted?"

It means they've put your app over into the RD cycle for review. From there you're accepted, denied or WL'd.

Thank you!

Does anyone know how well deferred ED applicants usually fare in the RD pool?
