[blindLaw] Law School Admissions Advising

[Paige]

Hi Marina,

I have experience applying to the same schools during two different admissions cycles. 

I would say the main thing to consider is editing your personal statements and addendums to show how you have grown/gained more experiences because schools may keep things on file throughout multiple years. 

I did not use any admissions services so i can’t speak to that, however, I did have an amazing pre-law advisor, so feel free to ask me any admissions questions :)

Best,

Paige Miller

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:
