Applying to law school can be an expensive, long, and stressful process. Your undergraduate GPA and your LSAT score are two of the most important metrics for determining your chances of being admitted to any given law school. Although, sometimes applicants overlook law school letters of recommendation. Most law schools require you to submit at least one letter of recommendation, but it shouldn’t be an afterthought. Strong letters of recommendation can be the difference between being admitted or waitlisted/outright denied from a school. Here are some tips for handling this part of the law school admissions process.
The early bird gets the worm, but does it get a law school acceptance letter? For some students, applying to a binding early decision program is the right choice. For others, it is a mistake. To help you decide, we’re breaking down the pros and cons of law school early decision programs.
Join us on September 11 from 3 PM – 5 PM EDT for a free virtual event hosted by The National Jurist. The webinar created for law students will instruct students on how to succeed in law school, even during the COVID-19 pandemic. This summit is led by JD Advising founder, Ashley Heidemann. Ms. Heidemann graduated #1 in her law school class. She will teach you the strategy she used to graduate as the top student. This strategy is NOT taught in law school. Many of our students have used this strategy to excel in law school, graduate at the top of their class, and land their ideal job.
All attendees will receive a free copy of our law school one-sheets! Note: you must attend to receive these!
This summit is hosted by The National Jurist and sponsored by West Academic.

You may have the misconception that all law students received typical “prelaw” like of undergraduate degrees, like political science or history. While many law students do major in those areas, law students from virtually all academic disciplines – from music to mathematics, engineering or theater! Students with diverse academic backgrounds offer a range of experiences and perspectives that are valuable in a law school environment and accordingly sought after by law school admissions offices.
For that reason, there is no single or “correct” path to law school. However, there are classes that can help build fundamental writing skills, sharpen analytical thinking skills, and enhance your understanding of specifics subjects that will serve you well in law school. Other undergrad classes may help prepare you for law school by providing background for future areas of law you may be interested in pursuing. In this post, we discuss classes that prepare you for law school and offer six of our top recommendations!
Applying to law school with your LSAT score is generally straight forward and a one-stop-shop within LSAC. Applying to law school with your GRE, however, can be more complicated. Applying to law school with a GRE score is relatively new, but many institutions are accepting this form of standardized tests (about 1/3 of schools accept the GRE, including Harvard!). Follow our step-by-step guide on how to apply to law school with the GRE for guidance!
Law schools love to advertise the fact that they consider all of an applicant’s qualities in making admissions decisions. While this may be true, the fact remains that almost all law schools care most about your LSAT score and your undergraduate GPA. It is called the “Law School Admissions Test” after all. That means you’ll need to put significant time into studying for the LSAT to get the best score possible. Studying for the LSAT doesn’t mean giving up all semblance of a balanced life. It should actually be quite the opposite!
Check out these tips to avoid LSAT burnout and maintaining a balanced and healthy life while studying.
Even though law school is tough, there is a gentle easing in period with law school orientation. So, you will essentially have two “first days of law school;” your first day of orientation and your first day of classes. Orientation will begin with mainly informative and administrative sessions a week before classes. As orientation progresses, you get exposure to legal writing and research. Then, there is your first day of the semester. This is the day you begin regularly scheduled classes. Here, we will discuss both, so you know exactly what your first day(s) of law school will look like.
