What is most important for me as a junior or senior?
• Concentrate on your studies. Make sure that you are taking 300 and 400 level classes in your junior and senior year. If your LSAT is less than great, your GPA will be particularly important. • Keep in continual contact with your Pre-Law Director. Make sure that you resolve any problems and stay on schedule. Completed applications should be submitted by Thanksgiving, or Christmas at the latest. • You should have your personal statement completed before the start of your senior year. Start working on it during your junior year and hone the statement during the summer. Although there is usually a 2-3 page limit, many students find it difficult to write about themselves in a convincing manner, even for 2-3 paragraphs! Make sure that you have the statement reviewedgo to the Writing Center, ask a faculty member or speak with the Pre-Law Institute advisors. It must be letter perfect!
