I wish I had hired her earlier. After taking the December LSAT I started working on my personal statement. I was basing the theme for it off a book I bought which included sample personal statements other people had submitted. I thought I was on the right track and this was going to be an amazing PS. My stepfather convinced me to hire a counselor to look it over. So, I researched law school counselors and came up with three choices. I ended up choosing Ann because of her employment background. It was the best decision I ever made. I contacted her through the website at 5 p.m. in mid-December and she called me back at 7 p.m. that night. I was shocked at her immediate response. We talked about what I needed for my applications and I hired her on the spot. The next day I sent her my PS, which I thought was great. When she sent it back 24 hours later, she had ripped it apart and told me to start all over. Ann pointed out some things she liked in my original PS and I started there. After completing the second version, the difference between the two was like night and day. I know if I did not have Ann there to push me in the right direction I would have never written such a great PS. On top of that, she helped me customize my PS for each of the 11 schools I applied for.”- C.R. (Loyola Los Angeles)

Your law school personal statement is generally considered the most important aspect of your law school application outside of your undergraduate GPA and your LSAT score. A law school personal statement is your chance to describe your strengths in a way that can’t be highlighted in other aspects of your application. It’s your chance to explain where you are coming from, how you approach problems, where your passions are, why you are someone the law school should bet on, how you will bring a valued perspective to the law school class, and/or the drivers behind decisions you have made and opportunities you have sought out. Most importantly, it makes you a real person to law schools. Authenticity is the key in crafting a strong personal statement. Ann Levine, a law school admission consultant with 10+ years of experience since opening Law School Expert in 2004, and with 18 years of experience in law school admissions, gets to know each of her clients and help them find the right message for their own – authentic – personal statement.
