So I'm leaving active duty next year, but my husband is staying in the military until retirement. He has limited location options for his assignments, which unfortunately really limits my law school options as well. My question is, should I make some mention in my "Why School X" essay about how family circumstances are part of the reason why I want to attend that school? Or is just a really bad idea to even mention that?

I vote for the "Why School X Essays" section. Very helpful to know how to approach this kind of essay

Can we email questions in advance or should we save them for the end of the webinar?

@ Thank you for the tip! It does feel like a fine line to walk. I want them to know that my chances of enrolling in their school are very high, but I also don't want to sound desperate.

@ Thank you for your service as well, nice to get the advice of other vets in the same boat :smile: My address for some of the applications won't actually be local, since I'm applying in advance of our move. My husband should find out his next set of orders around October and then we'll be PCS'ing around June of next year. I've been able to visit two of the schools that I'm applying to, but the other school I will definitely not be able to visit in advance (expense + new baby).
