Law School Admissions Counseling:

• Knowledgeable: Our admissions counseling program was designed by a former law-school admissions director, so you get the insider's view on how to make the best application.
• Comprehensive: You receive five hours of one-on-one personal counseling on how to make your law school application stand out from the crowd.
• Detailed: We help you: craft a winning personal statement, get better recommendations, target your optimal mix of schools, create a law-school specific resume, and deal with any potentially negative facts in your background.
• Affordable: At only $399 students often save money. Avoid applying to the "wrong"schools or to too many schools. At a cost of $50-$75 and several hours work per application, simply avoiding three or four "wrong" schools pays for the counseling. Also, a polished application increases your odds of getting into your first-choice schools and winning the valuable first year scholarships!
• Convenient: You can do admissions counseling over the phone with our admissions experts, including former law-school admissions officers. So you can take advantage of this program even if you don't live in a city where we conduct classes. Or you can do face to face admissions counseling with an instructor in your city.
• Personal statement only help: If you only require help with your personal statement, we can help you too. For $175, you can work personally with a skilled writing consultant. You will have two telephone sessions, and can submit two drafts of your personal statement. We will help you write the best possible statement to positively present your background and experiences.

"I am very proud of my personal statement, we did a great job! The Judge sent me copies of the letters he wrote on my behalf. It is obvious that he read my letter and personal statement and incorporated them. You gave very good advice on the letters to my recommenders. Thanks again for all your help. I knew that if you said you were going to call at a specific time, you would do it. I would recommend your company without hesitation! " Jen Foster, Las Vegas, NV

"I would recommend you to anyone for admissions counseling." J. Knox, Cheyenne, WY

"... In addition, I am very thankful for the counseling and help with the personal statement that I received from Get Prepped. After getting a [LSAT] score that is still below average, thanks to my tutor for the tremendous help with personal statement, where he helped me to present my unique experiences and circumstances in the perspective that admission committees considers the most, I received acceptance letter from the school where median LSAT was 158 [well above average]". --Yana Finkelstein, La Jolla, CA

An Admissions Counseling Case History:

"As an admissions counselor for Get Prepped I helped many students make their application more compelling. Additionally, I have worked with a number of applicants whose "brushes with the law" put them at a disadvantage in the highly competitive selection process. One such person was 'Dave.' He had applied to law schools the previous year but was not admitted, despite an LSAT and GPA that were average for those schools. The black mark on his application was a plea bargain. When I reviewed his previous year's applications I saw that he did an inadequate job of explaining the facts and circumstances surrounding his arrest and subsequent guilty plea. After many drafts, we finally created an addendum that was pivotal in winning him an acceptance from one of the schools that previously rejected him. Although his was an extreme case, I have yet to work with an applicant whose application did not benefit immensely from the admissions counseling program." --Patrick O'Malley, Get Prepped Admissions Counselor.

Law- Law School Essay- Example #1

Write about uniqueness of character, abilities, experiences (background), and diversity and how potential student would contribute to the diversity of the entering class.

As the bus entered the heavily guarded military installation, I gazed upon the sign that read "All the Way." When the bus stopped, several angry Drill Instructors boarded and began introducing us to a very colorful vocabulary, usually reserved for drunken Sailors. They instructed us to gather our belongings, get off the bus and assemble in a circular formation. As I searched for the strength to get up, I found myself moving, while several Drill Instructors yelled at us for our clumsy attempt to dismount the bus and fall into formation. I wondered if I had made the right choice. However, I have come to realize that my military experiences have tremendously enhanced my self-worth. From those first eight weeks of Basic Training to the day I walked out with an honorable discharge, I gained an enormous amount of skill and confidence. I grew as a person, and I learned life skills: discipline, tenacity, leadership, and problem solving abilities, all of which will enhance my potential as a law student.

In the military, training makes the difference between failure and success. So whether one's specialty is exiting aircraft at 1,300 feet, enforcing law and order around the fort, or taking medical X-rays, people need training in order to develop discipline and confidence. As the Army becomes more technologically advanced, so does the guidance individuals receive. In my case, the Army provided me with high-tech instruction in the field of electronics communication repair. At the tender age of 18,I was responsible for operating and maintaining million-dollar telecommunications equipment. This often involved being located in remote areas away from other support units, while working under adverse conditions. However, electronic equipment or theories of electricity weren't the only things I learned about. The experience provided me with invaluable skills that will prove critical in the legal profession. For example, I was required to analyze intricate electronics circuitry, find problems and then fix them appropriately. I also had to interact with co-workers, supervisors, and engineers while I was trying to solve these difficult technical problems. As a result, I learned the importance of articulating my thoughts in a coherent and logical fashion while under duress. Being forced to independently solve complicated problems in a short period of time strengthened my discipline and tenacity, qualities that will be essential in Law School.

Moreover, the military also gave me the opportunity to travel abroad. Living in countries such as Korea, Spain, and Germany and immersing myself in their cultures has given me perspective on the differences between the United States and other countries. Each place I have lived has been unique in some way, from the different languages to the variations in cultural practices. Dealing with individuals with different backgrounds has helped me develop a good rapport with people.

From my travels, I also learned that there can be more than one solution to a problem. Indeed, having a variety of perspectives makes it easier to come up with approaches to different problems. My travel experience has strengthened my interpersonal skills, as well as my integrity and determination.

Perhaps most importantly, my military training provided me with the courage, strength and dedication to succeed even after I left military service. I believed that I could accomplish anything, as long as I put my mind to it. This belief led me to pursue a career in the manufacturing industry, where I worked for several manufacturing companies, and eventually convinced me I could succeed in an academic environment. In each of my jobs, I benefited from my hard work ethic by advancing to senior technician levels and eventually securing leadership positions within my department. For six years I enjoyed a variety of challenges and opportunities, whether it was troubleshooting computer equipment, collaborating with electronics engineers, or operating industrial machinery.

However, I longed to be in a more intellectual environment, where I might be allowed to see things from a different perspective. I had always been more interested in mathematics and science than liberal arts subjects. So when I decided to go back to school, I eventually ended up taken courses in philosophy, and the social sciences. Understanding philosophical and political rhetoric proved to be quite difficult because I had to analyze abstract theories and assumptions about retribution, and nature of politics. Nevertheless, I managed to persevere and even make the Dean's honor roll on a few occasions. My work and academic experiences have undoubtedly built upon the skills I developed in the Army.

Through my experiences in the military, I did find some satisfaction. However, I found greater happiness in helping others, whether it was using military resources to aid a community during times of crisis, or participating in local food or blood drives. For me, there is nothing more gratifying than helping people in times of need. I always have been a firm believer that people have a responsibility to give something back to their community. While military has provided me with invaluable skills, the desire to help others stems from my traditional Hispanic upbringing. My parents always stressed the importance of maintaining and supporting the family structure. Ever since I can remember, my mother and father always wanted their children to respect and help one another. However, these ideals did not stop with our own family. My Mother told me that everyone on this earth belongs to one big family, and that it is our duty to respect and help another. She stated that while our lives may be going well, there is always somebody who needs our help. This is why, for the past year and half, I have become involved in a local mentor program that provides guidance and support for children with disadvantaged backgrounds. As a mentor, my responsibilities include working with the local youth to improve decision making capabilities, build conflict resolution abilities, improve school performance, and build the desire to continue their education. Hopefully, as a lawyer I will be able to help some individuals through legal crises while still being able to pay the rent.

The sign at the military installation that reads "All The Way" has had a tremendous impact on me. What began as a simple twist of fate has inspired me to face new challenges and given me the determination to succeed in all my endeavors. Law School will be a welcome challenge, one which I plan to face with my arsenal of experience, passion, dedication, leadership and discipline. I believe that these characteristics make me a confident, accomplished and promising candidate who would be an asset to the incoming class, and ultimately to the legal profession. I am convinced that I have the necessary skills to go "All the Way" at your institution.
