I am really excited to announce my new Webinar series, a Bootcamp for Law School Applicants, “Learning the Rules of the Law School Admission Game.” If you are applying for the Fall 2011 law school application cycle, here’s a great way to start things off on the right foot!
The program consists of 10 one-hour webinars starting the first week of March. The subjects are designed to take you give you information exactly when you need it, so you know what to work on in what order. You will feel less overwhelmed and armed with confidence as you start the law school admission process.
Here are the planned topics:
WORKSHOP 1: Setting Up Your Timeline and To-Do List
WORKSHOP 2: Building a Stellar Resume
WORKSHOP 3: Everything & Everything about Letters of Recommendation
WORKSHOP 4: When and How to Explain Weaknesses (Addenda)
WORKSHOP 5: Law School Personal Statements I (Coming up with Ideas/Brainstorming)
WORKSHOP 6: Law School Personal Statements II (Execution/Do’s and Don’ts)
WORKSHOP 7: Diversity Statements and Optional Essays (Whether, When and How to Write Them)
WORKSHOP 8: Choosing Schools Wisely (Where to Apply)
WORKSHOP 9: Application Tips & Tricks
WORKSHOP 10: Decision Making (The Waiting Game, Holds, Waitlists & Scholarships)
You will leave each session with concrete tips and strategies to implement in your law school applications and you will feel armed with expert advice. All content will be created and presented by me. However, so that I can answer questions, each online workshop is limited to 50 participants, with lots of time for Q&A on the day’s subject. I will offer them in the evenings, but if you can’t make the scheduled time you’ll be able to access the recording at your own convenience. Each Webinar will come with a handout that you can save and/or print for later reference.
You can sign up for one or for all ten:
Buy one workshop: $60
Buy any three workshops and the price drops to $55 each (total $165)
Buy any six workshops and the price drops to $50 each ($300)
Buy all ten workshops for a HUGE savings at $45 each ($450)
I can only take 50 people for each session and the preference goes to those who are purchasing the whole series. Official sign-ups will begin in a week, but I am offering my blog readers a chance to reserve a place on the list simply by emailing me at lawschoolexpert at gmail dot com. Tell me your name, email address, phone number, and which sessions you hope to attend. I will contact you next week with sign up information before sign-ups go live on my website.
Please feel free to ask questions in the comment section of this post in case there’s anything I forgot to mention. My webinars last fall for MSU Law School brought in 200 people and got great twitter coverage and I’m so excited to build upon this to help law school applicants in new and different ways. I really look forward to your feedback!

Did you feel just a bit ill yesterday during the LSAT? Were the desks so small you were in a bad mood the whole time? Did the proctor start the test two hours late? If you’re applying for Fall 2011 admission, and the June LSAT works for your schedule, cancelling and retaking the LSAT in June is probably a great idea. Here’s a collection of some of my previous posts on cancelling an LSAT score:
Deciding Whether to Cancel Your LSAT Score
Considerations in Cancelling Your LSAT Score
For details about how to cancel your LSAT score, click this link.
If you have decided to retake the LSAT but you are not not sure whether to cancel your score on the February LSAT, be informed about which law schools average multiple LSAT scores for their index formula and which law schools count the highest of multiple LSAT scores.
Also, here’s a post that talks about taking the LSAT multiple times.
Be sure to read the comments of each post too because I give advice to readers that might apply to your specific situation.

If you’re looking for information about hiring a law school admission consultant or coach for the Fall 2011 law school application cycle, here are some resources you might find helpful:
I don’t like to use the blog as a sales pitch, but for those of you applying for Fall 2011 admission to law school and are considering working with me as your law school admission coach, I want to warn you that my rates are going up on February 20th because I will now have a professional proofreader/editor check things in addition to just my eyes checking (although I do think I’m a great proofreader and editor, it never hurts to have back-up and the added confidence that comes with a second reader). If you sign up before February 20th, you’ll be able to take advantage of my Fall 2010 rate, which is a great deal! I will also be adjusting the packages slightly based on recent changes in law school applications, like the common usage of optional essays.
Please let me know if you have any questions.

For all of you February LSAT takers, here’s the best 45 minutes you’ll spend this week – Listen to my Blog Talk Radio show with four elite LSAT Tutors talking about tips for test day. Listen to it online or download it through iTunes (BTR- Ann Levine)
Also, I’ve been hearing from a lot of people who are just deciding late in the game to apply for the Fall 2010 law school admission cycle and their practice LSAT scores definitely demonstrate that they aren’t ready. I do not advocate a last minute approach to LSAT prep or to the law school application process. To me, it usually means the person hasn’t really thought through the choice and applying to law school with an unknown (but predictably very poor) LSAT score is really throwing good money after bad. Here’s how to know if you’re really ready to take the LSAT.
For those of you who are ready, good luck this weekend!
