Can I mention in my Why Michigan that I love all these videos? 😅

@Tyler-Armstrong Год назад

I was watching this video bewildered by the soft meows in the background--kept on thinking it was my cat, but each time I looked over she was sound asleep!

Request for a feature on "admissions cat" reviewing an application! :)

@rachelmartin2590 4 года назад

Thank you for doing these! They show a lot of concern for accessibility of information, and they cover the sort of important topics that I wish I had known more about when I was applying at the beginning of this year. Another topic that I think would be useful to cover in a future video or blog post is resumes. Does Michigan Law have a preferred format? How does one balance Michigan Law's request for detail with the general advice that resumes should be as short as possible? You covered the interests section in a previous video, but I think it would be helpful to have a more general overview.

Dean Z is covering this topic in tomorrow's video! Thanks for submitting your question.

Love Dean Z's videos!

I would love for the admissions cat to make an appearance

Hi Dean Z! Thanks for being so helpful and genuine in your videos. My question is if a school does not have a "Why X" essay as an option, but they welcome receiving one as an Addendum, is it wise to go through with that?

The Associated Press recommends "xs's" in their style guide. Obviously, that bucks the trend of grammar convention--but this shows that there is some split out there among professional grammarians.
