This is an an invaluable channel for any one applying to law school.

[@Tatsuya2014]

Definitely agree. The insights are invaluable

[@fiat_lux0]

I'm just so thankful and feel lucky that I found this.

[@benjaminahmed3236]

i know im randomly asking but does someone know of a way to get back into an instagram account..? I was stupid forgot my account password. I love any assistance you can offer me!

[@markmaddock1133]

Queen Z!!! I have been waiting for a new app reading for what feels like forever. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to walk us through these.

[@eveetgabriel2495]

Would love a reading of a waitlisted student and whether they were successful or not in getting off the waitlist

[@cadigansmith5014]

As a sophomore in college I watch Dean Z’s videos religiously, hoping to gather useful information for my future application. Whenever an application review comes up, especially this one, I take notes and get so invested in the character that’s created and hope for them!!! You had my adrenaline running 😅 so happy she’s part of the MLaw community and has made such an impact

[@marcusliou7868]

Thank you so much for this, Dean Z!

[@drsliveyesq]

This is an an invaluable channel for any one applying to law school. Thanks!

[@ReemAhmed-wq9zu]

Can you please make some more? Maybe more of those who have a GPA and LSAT below the median? I've watched all them!! Absolutely love this. Thank you Dean Z !!!

[@kristinevanoeffelen4718]

So glad Moira got in to Michigan Law!

[@anthonywurst2548]

[@bighitsfootage]

Dean Z, I would love for you to listen in to some of the Thinking LSAT personal statement episodes (it's a podcast, the episodes will be obvious by the titles) and see what you think of their critique of personal statements people are sending in.

[@ahmada7333]

THANK YOU

[@jennifertodd4132]

I want to send my application in just to have Dean Z to review it. Even with my extremely low LSAT score of 134.

[@reggie93441]

Dean Z you are to funny..I think you can read an app in your sleep..lol

[@reggie93441]

Leon look super comfortable Dean Z

[@sofieschendel2863]

I love your videos! I am planning on starting the application process next fall. I wanted to ask, when a student puts their University GPA vs. their LSAC GPA on their resume is that a red flag?

[@umichlaw]

I wouldn’t say it’s a red flag, but I also don’t think it’s necessary! We have all that info available to us in the LSAC Law School Report, and so you’re just repeating info we get elsewhere-and raising the possibility, however remote, that some reviewer will be puzzled about why your resume GPA is different than your LSAC GPA.

[@daniyalhukamdad1795]

This is an amazing channel. Are there any reviews of LL.M. applications?

[@umichlaw]

Thanks! But sorry, we don't have any LLM app review episodes yet!

[@implussed]

would love to see a file read of someone who got yield protected!

[@justinpeterson7643]

To my knowledge, Michigan does not admit that they engage in YP. You would probably hear something about how they have great stats and essays, yes, but they fail to identify a solid 'Why Michigan.'

[@ahmada7333]

Should i seperate relevant and irrelevant work experience like internships amd retail work?

[@umichlaw]

There are many different approaches to organizing the info in a resume, but I personally think reverse chronological order for all jobs is the clearest to navigate. And I don’t think in terms of “relevant” and “irrelevant”-it’s also useful experience!

[@ahmada7333]

@@umichlaw Thank you for your feedback. I truly appreciate it.

[@candyb2205]

More cat videos pls 😹😁

[@patboland1650]

I just had a vision of some crazy applicant taking the cat hostage ........and posting ''admit me or the feline gets it''

[@Student____2025__1]

This is so ridiculous. Embarrassing that this is a representative of the law school. She likes grads from all-female colleges, black colleges, people who live in her city. What a joke.

[@mikefromco]

Diversity makes for better law schools, and you know as a state school they are required by policy to favor people from MI right?

[@Student____2025__1]

@@mikefromco “diversity” means lowering standards.

[@mikefromco]

@@Student____2025__1 Based on what metric? 56% of Harvard is non-white, 54% at Yale, roughly 48% at Stanford is non white. Those are the best law schools in this side of the globe. What makes you think they are less? Don’t hide your incompetence and inability to do well behind racism, it’s unbecoming and makes you look even worse.

[@Student____2025__1]

@@mikefromco Those law schools all lower standards for certain groups. Everyone knows this.

[@mikefromco]

@@Student____2025__1 Compared to what? Those schools are the best in the country. That’s a fact, the students that go there are at the best institutions in the states. Seriously, hiding behind the idea that diversity is a bad thing is a weak cudgel to lean on.
