[blindLaw] Law School Admissions Advising

[Marina Rake]

Hello,

Does anyone have suggestions on utilizing any law school admissions advising services? Or advice on whether those services are helpful during the application process? My undergrad university does not have a pre-law advisor, but since many of the resources through Kaplan, Law School Expert, and some others are pretty expensive, I am trying to figure out if they are worth the investment. Some of the admissions questions I have are:

1. How does the process differ (if at all) from applying to a law school the first time, and then re-applying later? I ask this because I did not get accepted into two programs I applied for a couple years ago but will be trying again. I am also adding a couple of schools to my list this time.
2. When talking with admissions teams at each law school I am interested in, the admissions counselors always say that they cannot give any individualized advice on the application. Where are good places to seek assistance and/or editing of my personal statement and addenda?

Thanks all! Really appreciate any advice here.

Sincerely,
Marina
