Free Law School Admissions Consulting

I’ve heard the poor economy is expected to create a huge spike in law school admissions this year. With so many corporate lay offs and cutbacks, many people will probably decide now is as good a time as ever to go to law school. I recently found a new grant offering from Veritas Prep. Here is the basic info: “The winner will receive a Veritas Prep Admission Brief consulting package—a $3,100 value—that includes the guidance of a highly-experienced consultant from any law school to help you throughout the entire application process. The recipient will also recieve a personalized game plan to help them ace the law school application.” If you are interested in applying for this grant—just submit a one- page essay explaining why you want to go to law school to JDcontest@veritasprep.com by November 15, 2008. Visit their website for more information www.veritasprep.com/jd-contest.

If you look into you past and can dig up a reason (excuse) for your undergrad/LSAT performance that actually grabs a law school admissions officer within 2 sentences of your application - you may close the odds.
