Extra Curricular Information

In fairness to my SO, I will only be riding the Yale waitlist until June 1st.

Couldn't feel more blessed or grateful for how my cycle turned out.

This site was incredibly useful to me during the application process so I have contributed all information I felt was relevant to my application. Hopefully it will be helpful for future applicants. Best of luck!

GPA

I transferred from a community college with a mediocre GPA in part due to some extenuating family circumstances discussed in an addendum. I asked that schools consider my academic performance at my 4-year (3.95 GPA) as evidence of my academic potential.

URM STATUS

Part-URM (MA) but adopted by Caucasian family. Your guess is as good as mine as to whether I qualify as URM.

ACADEMICS

Summa cum laude with a thesis for one major & cum laude for other major
Member of major-specific honor society
Department awards at CC and 4-year
Dean's List

WORK EXPERIENCE/INTERNSHIPS

FT work as an executive at small company
PT campaign work, roughly a dozen campaigns
PT small business owner - livestock care
PT state government internship
PT local newspaper internship
PT law review assistant

Thanks! I received an email for the interview, which was a group interview for admissions; interviews aren't required for admission and general consensus on TLS seems to be that alum interviews are for borderline candidates and group interviews are for anyone GULC is interested in getting to know. ASW refers to Admitted Student Website where I was able to generate a password. My status checker still says "Completed." Hope that helps!

Thanks! I really excited, but still trying to stay open to my other options. My URM status (or lack thereof) is complicated. I'm not ready to publicly disclose with apps still pending, but you can email me at lsn.annamay [at] gmail [dot] com.

Hi again. I'll be withdrawing from schools after I've received my financial aid information. Until then I'd like to keep my options open. Best of luck with whatever waitlist you're waiting on!
