Little late to the game but hopefully this helps someone obsessively evaluating their chances!

APP OVERVIEW

1. LSAT w/ Retake (first score 159)-wrote an addendum

2. PS pretty strong but definitely not top 1% or anything -Less focus on resume, more on a life lesson.

3. Softs are above average. Tons of PI experience both during undergrad and post

4. LoR: 2 from professors, 2 from internships

5. Finished and sent all of my apps around the first week of October. Never hurts to apply early!

So far completed interviews with the following:
-Chicago: Interviewed with Reagan Butler. I thought I did terribly but I think she was using some kind of interviewing tactic made to see how you do under pressure. Hopefully it went well since I got in!
-Cornell: Online 1-way format was definitely awkward and uncomfortable. Very standard questions (i.e. why law, why Cornell specifically, what I do for fun, etc.) Oh well, we'll see how things turn out.
-UCLA: Didn't even know they did Skype interviews! Friendly, conversational, and quick. Standard questions that they seem to already have set to ask.

Still under review at a good number of schools but I withdrew from UVA because don't really have any feelings about it and they were taking forever.

Acceptances so far (and delivery methods)
-Chicago: e-mail that went to my spam folder. Always check your promo tabs!
-NYU: call from someone on the admissions committee during the first wave of admits
-Georgetown: itty bitty letter back in October
-USC: e-mail/status checker
-UCLA: phone call from Dean Schwartz
