TrashyBetterBird's wisdom
Essays matter! Read examples and craft your narrative. Think about your “why” and zero into personal experiences that reflects your “why.” One tip: after you write a draft, always ask yourself: could someone else have written this essay? is it personal enough that it is unique to you and your story?- if the answer is NO, then it’s time to dig deeper, add more detail and spice.
Limit your time on Reddit!- There are nuggets of good advice here and there and people often share helpful resources. Reading the AMAs are nice, especially as a first-gen lawyer (not first-gen student, but LAW student). BUT, if you do use it, don’t overdo it - there’s more productive ways to spend your time.
Listen to the A2Z podcast by Dean Z (Michigan) and the Navigating Law School Admissions with Miriam and Kristi (Deans from Yale and Harvard). - Each school has different admissions policies, but a lot of the information from these podcasts are generalizable. Of course, double check every school’s website.
TDLR; write, write, and rewrite. Don’t overdo r/lawschooladmissions. Do listen to informational podcasts and do your homework on schools.
