  • Super informative and helpful

    I am on the sixth episode and am loving this podcast. As someone who rarely listens to podcasts and usually tunes out when they are playing, I find these super engaging and interesting. Both YLS and HLS deans of admissions are relatable and down-to-earth while still being informative and clear communicators. My favorite thing to listen to currently any chance I get since the goal is to apply this or next year. Alleviates fears, insecurities and procrastination/ paralysis and gives great advice s... more

  • Love this podcast!

    As someone currently applying to law school, I appreciate how genuinely helpful and accessible the advice is. I am the first in my family to apply to law school, so I’m new to navigating this process and it almost feels like Miriam and Kristi are my fairy godmothers helping me through it. The show is also just a great listen! The hosts’ relatability and candor is refreshing. I would love to pick their minds on everything from their law school’s DEI initiatives to the legal hoops Taylor Swift has... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Live in Boston – September 8, 2023
Q: Is there a proof of reference for students who have taken a gap year or two to gain experience in the field?
It's not really a gap year but rather a launch of your career; experiences can strengthen your application.
Live in New York City – September 15, 2023
Q: What is the number one thing you see frequently in law school essays that you would highly advise against?
Starting every sentence with 'I' or 'my' as it comes across as self-absorbed and repetitive.
Live in New York City – September 15, 2023
Q: How are schools viewing the gradual LSAT and GPA increases that have been documented over the past few years?
Admissions officers understand that the test scores reflect consistent levels and won't differentiate based on time of scoring, while grade inflation complicates how students are viewed.
Live in Seattle – October 11, 2023
Q: What considerations do you take into account for students applying for a joint degree program?
You have to apply to each program separately, but there's no advantage to applying to a joint degree unless it's central to why you're attending law school.
Live in Seattle – October 11, 2023
Q: Are softs in admissions really as overlooked as some say they are, or can they improve chances of admission?
The softs are extremely important, but they are necessary, not only sufficient.
