Don’t Rush to Apply to Law School

The problem with applying late in the application season is that you will not be among the first applicants to be reviewed by the admissions committee.

Jaywalking: Another law that nobody follows!

Applying To Law School Part One: The LSAT

The test should probably intimidate you, but taking it requires knowing this and facing it. I saw an ad once for an LSAT prep program that said, “Does the LSAT hate you? Yes, and it wants to make you cry.” I’d say this is roughly true.
