On Common Personal Statement Mistakes:
Show me, don’t tell me, why you are passionate on taking on the challenge of law school.
On the Benefits of Attending Law Fairs or Forums:
Prospective students have the opportunity to meet admissions representatives from around the country and learn about the differences between law schools. It is especially important to visit tables for law schools you may have never heard of before that day. You will never know what type of information you may learn!
