Law School Applications / Re: Any good resume websites?« on: July 25, 2005, 08:49:23 PM »Go to a used bookstore. You will find a million books about this, and at a price you'll love. All books on resumés that I've found suck. Most examples given are bad for job resumés and aweful for grad. school resumés. Just my $0.02. 2

Check out college websites. On the career services sites there are, usually, sample resumés. If you have a lot of work experience, I'd recommend that you check out a graduate school site. The graduate career services tend to have more sample resumés geared to people with WE.

Black Law Student Discussion Board / Re: What are some of your favorite quotes?« on: July 23, 2005, 01:57:52 AM »Quote Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear. Quote If you hate your lot but wouldn't trade it, it's not your lot you hate. Quote People with courage and character always seem sinister to the rest. Quote Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives. Quote We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give. I have more but I cannot remember them all. 4

I was in a similar situation (that is, I graduated college in less than four years) and I was able to graduate early due to AP credit. It didn't cause me to take any more classes than my friends.
What do you mean? I really don't do much at all, even during school... I just start really early, remember? 5

Recommendations / Re: Do I give transcript to recom« on: July 22, 2005, 01:41:19 AM »I should note that the sample LOR's in Montauk's book are above and beyond what anyone can and should expect from a professor. they are ridiculously best-case LOR's that very few, if anyone actually gets. I wholeheartedly agree. However, every book I have seen explaining how to write an LOR is targeted toward employers. Montauk gives a basic LOR and an outstanding (albeit unreasonable) LOR example for each case. The OP could try to write an LOR that is in-between the two examples. 7
Law School Applications / Re: UTexas Admissions Change« on: July 22, 2005, 12:38:27 AM »Compared to Texas, GULC sucks. I don't know many people who think highly of GULC. Also, I think Texas is better than Duke, though Duke can stay in the Top14 if GULC drops.Wait, if is sucks compared to UT, then why is it ranked higher? What makes UT better than GULC and Duke in your "humble" opinion? How many people here have heard and regurgitated advice saying that rankings don't matter with regard to closely ranked schools. Ask around; the general consensus is that Texas is a better school than Duke/GULC. 8

Look at "How to get into a Top Law School" by Montauk. He has some sample LORs, both exceptional and basic. You'll be able to see what is expected of a good LOR.

Law School Applications / Re: I've decided to take it easy and not rush with law school.« on: July 21, 2005, 03:30:15 PM »Actually, my LSAC is probably going to be around a 3.5 (maybe a little higher) by the time of application. I can probably get around a 160 on the LSAT (I haven't even opened an LSAT book thoug Take a practice LSAT before throwing out an arbitrary number. That's like me saying I expect to get a 3.83 Law School GPA, when I haven’t even applied. |
