Overview

Everything a law school candidate needs to know for success!

With top law schools accepting less than 20 percent of applicants, getting into law school has never been more difficult. Fortunately, applicants can turn to Get Into Law School for reliable and expert advice on how to be a standout candidate in a competitive field.

Unlike other law school guides which limit themselves to school listings, Get Into Law School focuses on admissions strategies while leading the applicant through the entire admissions process. This book features step-by-step advice on selecting the right school, completing an exceptional application, and financing a law degree, with a special focus on sample application essays and techniques used to write the perfect application essay. The guide also contains helpful first-hand advice from current law students and graduates who have been through the law school admissions process, making Get Into Law School a comprehensive resource for any law school applicant.
