Idea for blog post or webinar: Best practices for balancing studying for the lsat and applying to law school with other life responsibilities i.e. a full time job, family, health, etc. The post or webinar could discuss choosing a study timeline, scheduling studying, how to manage breaks, mental fatigue, etc.
I would like to see a blog post about how to kill a admission interview.
I would like to see a blog post on Canadian Law Schools and their requirements.
I would love to see a blog post that focuses on law school concentrations and the best schools that fall under each category. For example the best law schools for family law or environmental law.
A blog post about when to write an LSAT addendum
Thanks for hosting the webinar. Would love to see a blog post about the reputations of law schools? Especially maybe surprise ones that are underrated or have a better reputation in a certain type of law that would be challenging to learn just reading rankings. Thanks!
Hello! I would greatly appreciate a blog post on the process for re-applying to law schools if goal schools are not attained the first time around. Are new letters of recommendation necessary? Should an applicant ask permission of a recommender to use the same letter twice? Is that letter retained in LSAC after initial application? Is a new LSAT score necessary if moving from applying toward the end of the application period this year to the beginning of the application period the following year? - Thank you!
I really like the blog post about whether going to a t14 is necessary and I think it'd be cool to see more posts centered around specific experiences of those who went to schools outside of t14 (from recent years) and how their careers were shaped afterward (like some sort of spotlight/AMA/interview).
Thank you for hosting that webinar! I would like to read a blog post about reverse splitters (assuming the LSAT will not be retaken due to other obligations), how to instruct personal statement editors (e.g. family and friends) to read through the essays (i.e. basic instructions from the perspective of an admissions officer), whether or not we should ask an alumnus who is a close friend or family member to write an additional LoR for that school, and/or how to incorporate post-undergraduate work experience into applications when that is not mentioned in the personal statement.
Would be nice to see a blog post about if there are any networking opportunities to increase your chances of getting your name out there to law schools before you actually submit your application. Go to their events? email them with questions? Sit in on a class? set up an appointment with an admissions counselor?
Tip: Needing to revise application materials if you apply again in a subsequent year to the same school.
I would love to see a chance calculator for splitters for each school. If any school is splitter-friendly or not.
I'd love to see a blog post on tips for non traditional (older in age) students applying to law school. I am personally finding it difficult to format my resume (various degrees, gaps in employment, etc). Thanks!
@davidbusis895 I would like to see a blog post about different things that can be done to help fill potential holes in an application. For example, I have heard that many law school can be concerned about the writing ability of an individual who did not major in something that was writing intensive, like Criminal Justice or Engineering. What sorts of things can applicants do to assuage some of the worries that an admissions council might have? Thank you for the webinar!
I would like to see a blog post about deferring law school after acceptance.
Hi David! Thank you for the webinar. It was very useful.
I would like to see a blog post about how to stay positive and motivated especially from the time you take the test to the time you get the results. Some of us have to retake it and the low score really takes a toll on us.
Hi David, I would love to see a blog post about how to handle scholarship negotiations!
Hi David. Thanks for today's webinar. I am interested in seeing a post regarding recommendation letters selection for applicants who have graduated 3 to 4 years, with some working experiences and a graduate school degree.
Blog Post Idea:
Re-Applying for Law School: Do's and Dont's
(e.g. Do get new letters of recommendation, do write up a new personal statement/diversity statement)
I would like to see a blog post on good examples of how you've seen older/non-traditional students address "why law school, why now" in their personal statements.
Can you please do a blog post/webinar on the Canadian law school admission process?
Suggested blog theme: How prior work experience can help land a big law job without graduating from a T14 school. (3-5 years of work experience)
Hi David! I would love a blog post or a more specific lesson on answering optional essays that ask for a list 3 songs, books, etc. The tone seems more relaxed- is that right? What's the best way to format something like this? Thank you! (that was also my question for tonight's webinar)
I would love to see a blog post about scholarships and scholarship negotiations.
