About the event

"Why This Law School" essays tend to blur together: a list of clinics, a professor's name pulled from the website, a line about rankings. Admissions readers see hundreds of these, and most forget them by the next application. This session looks at what actually makes one memorable: a specific reason tied to your own goals, not just proof you did research. In 30 minutes, Cynthia will break down real examples of generic versus specific essays, show you how to find details that are hard to copy-paste, and take questions on your own draft. You won't leave with a finished essay, but you'll know exactly what's making yours sound like everyone else's.
