  You Hit Submit. Now What? - The Law School Application Waiting Game

  Sep 30, 202620 minS3

  You hit submit on your law school applications. Now what? The waiting period can feel strangely anticlimactic after months of work, but there’s plenty you can be doing while you wait. In this episode, the GradMissions team walks through how to use this time strategically, from planning personalized law school visits and preparing for interviews to revisiting your application, reflecting on your goals, and figuring out what “fit” really means for you. They also talk about what not to do, like sending premature emails of continued interest just because you haven’t heard back yet. You did the hard thing. You submitted the application. Now it’s time to settle in, stay engaged, and get ready for what comes next. Book your free strategy call: https://www.gradmissions.org/contact

  Your Med School Interview Isn’t About Proving You’re Smart

  Sep 23, 202626 minS3

  Getting invited to a med school or law school interview means you’ve already demonstrated that you’re academically capable. So what is the interview actually for? In this episode of the GradMissions Office Hours Podcast, Autumn, Morgan, and GradMissions’ creative director Cole dig into what happens after you’ve “scaled the competency wall,” and why the next step is learning how to show up with warmth, confidence, and genuine connection. Cole, a comedian with a background in improv and performance, joins the conversation to talk about helping applicants translate the stories and accomplishments already in their applications into engaging, natural conversations. The team discusses elevator pitches, eye contact, body language, listening, handling unexpected questions, recovering when an answer doesn’t land, and staying engaged when an interviewer gives you very little feedback.

  The Case for a Gap Year Before Law or Med School

  Sep 16, 202624 minS3

  Think taking a gap year will put you behind? Think again. In this episode of GradMissions Office Hours, we make the case for taking a purposeful gap year before medical or law school and unpack why more time can actually move your application forward. We talk about the difference between a strategic gap year and simply delaying the process, why the built-in “glide year” of the application cycle may not be enough, and how rushing to balance coursework, standardized tests, essays, and applications can leave applicants scrambling.
