Self-study
Hi y'all,
I'll be applying to law schools this Fall and I'm currently in preparation mode with my personal statement, essays, and resume. I'm currently using 7Sage's School Data portal as my main resources for finding what all I need to prepare to include in my applications. How much do law school change their applications year over year? I'm preparing early because I have a quite busy month of August with work, and want to be ready to submit applications come September.
Also, when will 7Sage switch their cycle from 2025-26 to 2026-27? Will what I have starred/saved remain?
Thanks everyone. Best of luck!

The good news is that they really don't change radically from one year to the next. This is especially true of the prompts for the personal statement (which is almost always about why you want to go to law school and be a lawyer), the diversity statement (almost always about your background and where you come from), and the Why School X statement (why you're specifically interested in this school). The questions that are most likely to change are the "get to know you" questions. For example, Georgetown occasionally mixes up their prompts. Thankfully, there aren't tons of schools that have those kinds of questions (Georgetown, Stanford, and Michigan are three that come to mind)!
