<p>you’re looking pretty good! The biggest thing about W&L I think is to let them know that you’re interested…get on the mailing list, attend events, etc. Also, the essays are quite important! Make sure they’re real…we at W&L firmly believe in the honor system, so the more genuine, the better.</p>

<p>I agree with georgeandbob. And definitely do an interview. Showing interest makes a huge difference I think. We did an alumni interview…now I’m sure this varies by location, but I feel that the positive connection D made with alumn helped.</p>
