-Contacted each admissions office to discuss academic support and diversity of experiences at each school. All but Duke, Harvard, Vandy, and Georgetown consented to these convos. Often spoke w multiple ppl at each school, ranging from admissions officers to SBA presidents to deans to students pursuing a career in environmental law (my specialty of interest).
