Law school admissions is the hardest it's ever been. Schools are not only looking for brilliant students, but they're also looking for people who have a clear passion for the law stemming from their life story. They want to be able to picture you succeeding at their campus and then in an impressive career for decades to come. I think the hardest part about applications as competitive as these is figuring out your story and finding the most compelling way to communicate it. I'm eager to help you do just that.
