If you are feeling overwhelmed by the law school application process, navigating it one step at a time is a great way to break it into small, manageable tasks. It's not a personal statement too intimidating to start - it's just a brainstorm stage, or a proofreading stage, it's something discrete and able to be completed in one sitting.
As an expert advisor, I love guiding students by helping them express their reflections on their own experiences and theories throughout the writing process, and through each stage of the application process, providing them with the tools and knowledge they need to create a compelling and competitive application package.
Below are the eight parts of our law school admissions process:
School List Development
One of the first steps in the law school application process is developing a list of potential schools to apply to. Our advisors can help you research and narrow down your options based on factors such as scholarship and tuition estimates, bar passage data, and enrollment outcomes. With our guidance, you can ensure that the schools you choose to apply to are the best fit for your academic and career goals.
Career/Specialization Identification
Identifying your career goals and specialization interests is an important aspect of the law school application process. Our advisors can help you explore different areas of law and determine which specialization aligns best with your skills and passions. With our expert guidance, you can tailor your application to highlight your specific career interests, making you a more competitive candidate.
Letters of Recommendation and Transcript Requests
Obtaining strong letters of recommendation and transcripts is crucial for a successful law school application. Our advisors can provide you with tips and strategies for securing impactful recommendations and transcripts that showcase your academic accomplishments and potential for success in law school.
Improving and Updating the Resume
Crafting a polished and professional resume is essential for making a strong impression on law school admissions committees. Our advisors can help you develop a resume that highlights your relevant experiences, skills, and achievements, setting you apart from other applicants.
LSAT Score/GPA Addendum
If you have areas of concern in your LSAT score or GPA, our advisors can help you craft an addendum that provides context and explanation for these discrepancies. With our guidance, you can present a more well-rounded picture of your academic abilities and potential for success in law school.
Personal Statements & Adversity and Diversity Statements
Many law schools allow applicants to submit a statement addressing any adversity or unqiue background that informs their future law school experience. However, determining what to write about can be daunting if not considered holistically with the other essay topics you'll already be presenting.
Our advisors can help you navigate this sensitive and important component of the application process, ensuring that your statement effectively communicates your unique experiences and perspectives.
Character and Fitness Statement
Applicants to law school must also provide a character and fitness statement, detailing any past infractions or legal issues. Our advisors can help you approach this statement with honesty and transparency, while also emphasizing your growth and commitment to ethical conduct.
“Why Us?” AKA School-Specific Interests and Contributions
Finally, our advisors can assist you in crafting compelling “Why Us?” statements that demonstrate your specific interests in each law school you apply to and the unique contributions you can offer to their community. With our guidance, you can make a strong case for why you are a perfect fit for each school on your list.
