I used David Busis, and I was extremely happy with his application advice and essay edits. David gave very thorough edits on both technical grammar/sentence structure and on big picture themes. This is extremely valuable advice since having a key me…

I am considering on applying for another legal assistant position but I know I may not be an ideal candidate since I would only be available for less than a year.

going digital? how is that going to work with logic games?
I imagine it would look a lot like what the GMAT and CPA exams do at pro-metric centers. You get some scratch paper to use throughout the exam. The scratch paper won'…
It won't matter. I had a 161 on my first take and 174 on my subsequent take. I'm attending Harvard this fall and was admitted to every T14 (plus money) except Stanford (WL) and Yale. I only wrote an addendum to UChicago since they explicitly asked f…
Although not usually required, it's best to rewrite everything subjective on your application (essays, resume, etc). If you reapply to any school that you were previously accepted to, it might be prudent to write a "Why am I reapplying?" essay.
It'…
"Volunteer someplace that interests you - maybe a place that has the type of law you want to practice. I think this would show your commitment to your area of law . Or maybe volunteer someplace completely different - hospital, shelter, ems, etc, etc…
You'll most likely get a T14 to bite based off the LSAT alone...assuming you apply early in the cycle (work experience and removal from your GPA helps too if applicable). If you are URM, the chances of a T14 go up to 100%. I say an app to at least a…
I reapplied with same GPA, LSAT, and general early time frame (applied in September this cycle vs October last cycle). Only thing changed was an extra year of work experience as a CPA. Outright reject at Harvard last cycle but an acceptance this cyc…
I actually did not defer. I withdrew all of my apps and reapplied again from scratch. I don't know about the deferral process since I'm attending school this fall, but I had much better results compared to previous cycle.
If it's common place to put the certification after your name, then I think it's fine to include it in your header. If it isn't usually the case, then I'd put the certification in a "certifications" section in your resume.
I'm a CPA, so my name at …
I visited the entire T14 about a year ago. Just going off the campus and interactions with people, my favorites were UVA (by a long shot; who ever is in charge of marketing that law school to visitors deserves a raise), Yale, Duke, and Harvard.

1.) Rank (YHS only)
2.) Scholarship
3.) Employment Outcomes (vary well could be my #2)
4.) Location (Big gap between this and #3). I would prefer to be somewhere where it does not get below 65 degrees.
5.) Community (another big gap; laregly don…

Well, I don’t care much for the SEC and the Big Ten wasn’t represented in the playoff, so I probably wont watch. If I had to root for someone, def UGA. I went to one of their games this year and they looked damn good.
Do the optional essays. For most optional essays, they are about a page double spaced and can be cranked out in a week or so. IMO, that isn't a very high cost if the benefits are acceptances and/or scholarship acceptance. In other words, I would pre…
