Excerpt "The one greatest piece of advice that I could have been given is this - “Strive as if you were trying to get into schools like Harvard, Yale and Stanford, regardless of whether you intend to or not. Understand that law school admissions is competitive to fiercely competitive no matter what law school you are interested in attending. Even the very best applicants with the strongest credentials can be rejected. You should strive for both the 4.0 GPA and the 170 LSAT score. You must make sure that every single component of your application is as competitive as possible. Remember that it is a comparative process and you are being compared with lots of others who are outstanding. Consider how you can make yourself different, better and stronger than the typical above average applicant. Keep your options and outlook high and realize that there are no guarantees.”"
