[Derek Manners]

Between the great people on this listserv, I think you can probably get the same or better advice for free. Happy to chat offline sometime if you have questions or just want some general advice, and happy to review any materials.

>> 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
