borg44deck's wisdom
General advice:
- Talk to lots of attorneys about their experiences to set expectations
- Listen to admissions & law-related podcasts to get your head in the game
- Help others going through the process
- Make spreadsheets to track everything (applications, cups of coffee with attorneys, LSAT prep, etc.)
- Beware of Reddit. But if you must, I’m u/gibelet
Application advice:
- Apply early, preferably the day apps open to increase your chances
- Apply broadly to many schools to increase your options
- Don’t discount yourself. Your experience can outperform your numbers through effective storytelling
- Write many drafts of everything
- Have many people read your drafts
- Organize your materials carefully to avoid attaching the wrong version of your essays
- Solicit fee waivers from every school
- Use Service2School if you’re a veteran/still in the military
- Be patient
Interview advice:
- Practice live interviews with friends & family
- Do every optional interview
- Thank the interviewer for their time
- Have a few multi-use stories ready to pull
- Learn to answer in the STAR format
- Tell stories for as many answers as you can
- Dress for the job you want–you can always dial down formality but you can never dial up
- Be friendly, be yourself, be professional
Help other people who are going through this. We have a unique understanding of their plight. We have everything to gain by being the rising tide that lifts all boats.
