Book Description
Get Into Law School With the Help of Your Own Pre-Law Advisor! Everyone who applies to law school dreams of the day they will open their mailbox to find a big envelope containing their letter of acceptance. During her more than 15 years as a pre-law advisor, attorney Carol L. Wright has helped thousands of applicants realize that dream. Now, she has published this comprehensive and engagingly written guide with the answers to all of your law school admission questions. She leads you step-by-step through the process of identifying and getting into the law school that is right for you. She outlines 15 "Essential Factors" to consider when choosing a law school, and relates "Tales From the Trenches" from her years as a pre-law advisor. In addition, a comprehensive appendix provides data on 187 ABA-accredited law schools to help you determine which fulfill your "15 Essential Factors". She shares secrets that most applicants, and even many advisors, do no know.
Customer Reviews:
The best law school book ever!.......2006-05-12
I can't believe how great this book is. I followed everything Ms. Wright said to do, and was admitted by some of my schools, but not by my dream school. Then, I got a letter from my #1 school telling me I could go on their waitlist. I followed all the instructions in this book, and today I got my letter!!!! Needless to say, I got in, and I am REALLY looking forward to going to law school in the fall. Thank you Ms. Wright for all your wonderful advice! This book is the best.
Everything my advisor SHOULD have told me!.......2005-10-13
My advisor never asked any of the right questions or gave me the kind of information that would have helped me with my plan to study law. While looking for books on the LSAT I found this book and it really helped. It told me everything that the best advisor would have told me. It really helped me evaluate how I felt about law school and how to properly prepare myself. The last time I went back to my advisor he was shocked at how much I knew. I feel really good about my applications and think I have a really good chance of getting a "big envelope".
MUST READING FOR LAW SCHOOL APPLICANTS!!!.......2005-07-16
As a college professor who has advised law school applicants for over 25 years, I found that this book is simply the best one I have ever read on applying to law school! I was so impressed by this book that I now require my students to read it before talking to me in detail. This book is so concisely written that it can be read comfortably cover-to-cover, unlike some of the other advising guides, that are so unwieldy that students do not want to wade through them. The comfortable and clear writing style of the book makes you feel like you are sitting down with Ms. Wright for a personal advising session. These students have consistently come back to tell me that this book was THE SINGLE MOST USEFUL thing they read to help them with the law school application process.
Those who critique this book as not having "insider secrets" have clearly not read it thoroughly. I was impressed by the large number of "insider secrets" to the process, that were previously unknown to me and my pre-law advising colleagues. Because of this book I have completely changed the way that I advise my students, and have noticed that their success rate for law school admissions has been rising dramatically. The key in this highly competitive applications environment is to know how to pick the schools you are applying to, and target your applications for those specific schools. The tips in this book tell you how to do that. This book also really goes through the two-stage process of law school admissions today--wherein you can get a variety of "envelopes", or notifications on the status of your applications. Schools do not just admit or deny you these days. There is a whole range of responses, and the wise applicant needs to know how to maximize their chances of turning any of them into an admission letter. This book helps you do just that.
If you want to get into the law school of your choice I urge you to read this book, then read it again carefully, and follow all of its advice! I am confident that your "big envelopes" will be sure to follow!
Not an "ultimate guide".......2005-07-13
Firstly,I enjoyed the format and tone of the book (how the author addressed the reader). However, I did not feel that she imparted any insider secrets that the book promised to reveal. If you are just starting to research law school, and do not know all the requirements of admission, then this book may be a tremendous help. If you have done your homework and are looking for an edge when it comes to admissions, I recommend some more topic-specific books. For example, books on how to write your personal statment, books geared specifically towards LSAT preparation (Powerscore books were the most helpful for me), and there are some websites with great advice geared towards aiding the individuals whom you are asking to write letters of recommendation. Yet, for those new to the entire affair, this book can definitely clarify the requirements for you.
The best book available about getting into law school.......2004-09-09
I have read several other books about getting into law school, and this one is clearly the best. It has many "insider secrets"--many of which are in its "Tales From the Trenches"--that you will find in no other books. For instance, I was surprised to learn that east coast schools differ from west coast schools in what they expect in a personal statement. This book tells you what those differences are, and how to turn that to your advantage.
In addition, the "15 Essential Factors" listed for choosing your law schools will make you see the schools you are considering in a different light. The appendix to the book gives you data on each of the law schools so you can start using the factors right away. Instead of making your choices on one or two factors, such as reputation or a magazine ranking, you will find schools where you will be admitted, be successful, and be happy. You will also learn how to choose the schools that will help get you to the kind of career you most want--or what to do if you are uncertain about what you want to do with a law degree.
I especially like the fact that this book is written for everyone--not just those who believe that they are destined to go to an "elite" law school. The advice in this book is terrific for the elite schools, but also helps those who are not "presumptive admits" to the most competitive schools. It contains a unique system for analyzing your credentials to determine where you will get in--including a system for analyzing your chances when competition for admission is changing from year to year as it is now.
Unlike many books that are filled with a lot of useless information masquerading as advice that make the book larger and more expensive, this book is insightful and concise, and written in a manner that is easy to read and comprehend. It is, I believe, the best purchase you can make for advice on getting into law school.

Customer Reviews:
Use it Wisely.......2007-09-12
This book should only be used as a guide and the ranking system is very biased. Each person is different and will want to use their own ranking system of importance, but this book does give a concise detail of every school. It sets a good foundation for knowledge about law schools.
I did not want a 2003 book.......2007-07-18
I did not know that I was ordering a 2003 guide to law schools. I never would have ordered it if I had known it was obsolete.
Good Resource.......2005-12-15
This is a great reference to anyone applying or thinking of applying to law school. Whether or not you agree with the influence US News has in law school admissions it remains a fact of life. It is a system that is inherently flawed, but along with the rankings, this book gives detail on each school which you can and should use to further investigate the schools to which you apply. Don't let the US News rankings dictate where you apply and don't let this book replace a campus visit and talking with the dean of admissions with a prospective school. Use it to supplement those things.
Some Good Information, but Faulty Data .......2005-09-07
First of all, I agree with the other posters that a lot of information is packed into this magazine/guide. It might be worth your while to purchase it for that reason.
However, the discriminating consumer should be forewarned that some of the data contained in this guide is inaccurate. The data is self-reported data collected from law schools. Since all the schools want to increase their U.S. News ranking, they sometimes report information that is inaccurate--or arguably fraudulent. I found this out the hard way. I attended a Top 20 U.S. News Law School. When I enrolled in the law school--and ever since--U.S. News has reported that the school I attended has roughly a 97% employment rate at graduation and that the median salary for graduates of my school was close to $100,000.
The year I graduated from the school--2004--maybe 40-50% of students had jobs at graduation. Many classmates of mine, for all I know, do not have jobs as of today. Of those students who had jobs at graduation, many were working low-paying jobs for smaller law firms or for state agencies. In other words, the U.S. News data was way off the mark.
I recognize that it is difficult for U.S. News to police the data supplied by law schools, but they need to do a better job of it. They could also use some common sense. For instance, U.S. News reports that over 95% of USC Law grads have jobs at graduation, and that the average salary is close to $100,000. But in its guide to business schools, U.S. News reports that 89% of Harvard Business School grads are employed at graduation with the average salary being $85,000 or so. How could career prospects possibly be better for USC Law grads than Harvard Business School grads? I don't believe it, and I don't see how U.S. News could believe it either.
It amazes me that law schools are able to report borderline fraudulent information and U.S. News does nothing. I was one of those who believed the U.S. News data, but then found out the hard way that the data was woefully inaccurate.
If you buy this guide, try to get as much as you can out of it, but take all the data you read with a grain of salt. Much of it was reported by law schools with an interest in inflating the data, and none of the data is ever independently verified.
Really good resource to have on hand.......2004-08-03
This is an excellent resource guide with useful information and summaries of all the ABA-approved law schools. The book provides detailed descriptions of the top 4 law schools- Yale, Harvard, Stanford, and NYU- as well. The book provides applicable and objective information, as opposed to other books which just spout off the obvious facts.

Customer Reviews:
Excellent Source of Information.......2006-08-20
I purchased the book on the grounds that I needed information about the hiring process and the steps it takes to gain employment with the FBI. In my opinion there should not be any prep books or material for the job, either you have what it takes to make it or you don't. This book gave me what I needed to know so that I was informed about how hiring decisions were made and what steps the agency takes in selecting candidates. I wish all who purchase this book the best of luck and to just remember that you have to live up to a lot to be part of the FBI.
Great reference, but in need of a revision.......2006-05-30
This book is a wonderful backgrounder on the FBI, its history, and how things work within the agency. The list of field offices and the areas they cover was alone worth the cost of the book. The interview hints were sparce, but very applicable. The problem is the application process has changed in some pretty dramatic ways since this book was published. The FBI now uses on-line applications and the application form has been changed. The needs and focus of the Bureau have also changed since 9/11
Yes, this book was helpful. But if you are interested in applying to the FBI, contact the Applicant Coordinator in your local field office and search the web for a law enforcement employment message board to get the latest news in the world of FBI hiring.
Great book.......2005-10-25
Great author, too. I had him as a Criminal Justice professor at Grand Valley State University. He was an adjunct professor there for a couple of years. Very nice, very knowledgeable. This book is a good reference and starting point. Sure, most of the information is available on the Internet, but why go through all the trouble of finding it when it can all be at your fingertips?
Not much info here........2005-09-15
I thought that this would be a good book to help me prepare for the phase 1 testing and what else is to come. Most of the recomendations are just common sense and all of the information was redily available on the internet for free.
FBI Minature Golf.......2005-08-31
We Hope in a future edition, that the author does not forget the path John Douglas (Ret.FBI: BSU) followed to finally arrive at Quantico. Miniture Golf Instructor. Yes now it can be told! Johns career all started at the end; if you will. Yep! at the end of McChord Air Force Base in Parkland Washington. At the venerable "Parkland Mini Putt" miniture golf course. I'll save the details for John himself to fill in, as he's kinda shy about his handicap.
