Question 1: Fall 2025. Question 2: Temple Law School (Accepted), UCLA Law School (Waitlist), NYU Law School (Waitlist), Boston College Law School (Waitlist), Harvard Law School (Denied), Penn Law School (Denied). Question 3: First deposit paid at Temple Law. Question 4: In law school, I aim to graduate in the top 5 percent of my class. By my 3L year, I plan to lead my school’s BLSA chapter, and if I have good time-management, I plan on joining mock trial, moot court, or law review. During my summers, I intend to intern with a judge or as a summer associate at a big law firm, laying the groundwork to get a federal judicial clerkship. Long term, I aim to specialize in litigation or M&A at a big law firm. Leveraging these opportunities, I want to transition in-house at a company that I have loved, outside of my career, such as Nike or Apple. Having a better work-life balance, I will also work in advocacy spaces, empowering those who feel they do not have a voice in politics. My current election law research has made me feel strongly about this. I realize that there is much to learn and life may throw other opportunities my way, but in a perfect world, this is the path that I envision. Question 5: Outside of formal education, I pursue intellectual growth through both time with others and time alone. In solitude, I enjoy reading, whether it’s because I’m exploring new writing styles, encountering a new word to research, or simply preparing for the rigor of law school. This time in isolation allows me to challenge my thinking and explore topics I’ve always wanted to understand more deeply. For example, my research in election law has challenged my understanding of essential pieces of American history. Understanding the difference between what the Founders intended for our country’s election system and what convoluted system we have today has many layers that I uncover in my time off. If not for the time I spend actively thinking by myself, I would not be reading the US Constitution on a random afternoon, when a younger version of me may have been scrolling on social media. These moments allow my brain to think analytically and create a longing to constantly learn more and understand the legal precedent behind these concepts. In time with others, I look not only to connect with someone with a different story, but also to apply their experiences to understand how I can inspire change in the world. I intentionally took a year between college graduation and law school to gain as much information about law school and the world thereafter. In this time, I sought to interview as many people who went through the law school process as possible, hearing their stories, their reasons for attending, and any advice they may have for me. So far, I have interviewed almost 100 attorneys, private equity associates, and politicians, who have been pivotal in expanding my awareness of the legal field. I went from someone who barely knew the difference between transactional law and litigation to someone who feels equipped with the knowledge of a law student. These one-on-one connections have been some of the most formative moments in my growth. I feel more prepared than ever to begin law school. Question 6: In high school, I led a video creation protesting our school board’s silence following George Floyd’s murder. The video featured Black seniors expressing disappointment with the administration. Although we faced pushback, including warnings from administrators and personal calls urging me to withdraw due to my future at an Ivy League university, I stood firm. The experience reminded me that leadership sometimes means risking personal gain to uphold what’s right. Regardless of the perceived consequences, I realized that our voice is our most powerful tool. Question 7: If I had the resources, I would create an organization focused on mentoring youth and promoting social literacy. My mission would be to show children that their backgrounds do not define their potential, and that leadership begins with discovering their interests. In a world saturated with passive scrolling and digital noise, I fear many kids are losing sight of who they can become. When I discovered football through online research, it sparked a passion that shaped my early identity and led to a Division I athletic career. I want to give others that same spark–one that turns curiosity into purpose and leaders into innovators.
