We have a simple yet very important strategy about how to write an effective, successful Personal Statement or Statement of Purpose for Law School.
Lawyers simply have a bad reputation as being mercenaries; in other words, they are often seen as people who are interested almost exclusively in making money, rather than helping their fellowman. As with most stereotypes, of course, there is both a small measure of truth to this accusation as well as numerous exceptions to the rule. For our purposes, however, it is interesting to ask why it is that Law School admission is the most competitive among all fields, even medical school; it is not like doctors, for example, do not also make a lot of money. We are in the business of helping people get accepted to Law School, as well as Graduate School, Business School, etc. For this reason we are very conscious of the fact that a broadly disproportionate amount of applicants to programs of higher education seek professional help with their Statement or Admission Essays when they seek to be admitted to Law School, much more than the number of applicants to any other field. Indeed, our research has shown that nearly half of those applicants to a higher education program that seek professional help producing their Admission Statement, are seeking to be admitted to Law School. If you are curious, you can confirm this yourself by simply doing a key word search on the phrases 'Personal Statement' and 'Statement of Purpose' noting the large number of searches that combine these phrases with the words 'Law School'. This should cause Law School applicants to pause and reflect. If such a large number of applicants are receiving professional help to get into Law School, what about those who do not? Are they at a disadvantage? Is it immoral or non-professional to receive help with your Personal Statement for Law School? We think not and we also feel strongly that it is wise to do so, especially given the fact that your competition is doing it in such large numbers. Many famous people, for example, freely admit getting help writing books. When Larry King asked Hillary Rodham Clinton if she had any help writing her latest book, she smiled broadly and said: "I had a lot of help Larry." Well, if Hillary can get help with her book and not be ashamed of it at all, why can't you get help with your Law School Personal Statement from a team of professionals who have spent years studying the question of what Law School Admissions Committees are looking for in an applicant, and what they like to see in a Personal Statement?
First, it is important to note that while the Statement is enormously important, it is generally not as important as grades and test scores. But, especially if your grades and/or LSAT scores are not that exceptional, in that case, everything depends on your Statement. These people make up the bulk of our clients, those seeking our help, because they hope to compensate for less than great grades and/or test scores with an exceptional statement. We think this is wise, and especially so for the following reason. Admissions committees, to the extent to which they can--at the same time that they face the hard reality of grades and test scores--want to admit applicants who truly care about humanity, their community, resolving conflict, making peace, helping people live more harmonious and trouble free lives, in short, those applicants who are motivated by other things than just getting rich. Unless your scores and/or grades are at rock bottom, using our service and getting help portraying your humanitarian interests in an eloquent fashion can often mean the difference between acceptance and rejection. And our fee of only $200.00 could well turn out to be the best investment you will make in your entire life. We also offer a significant discount for those applicants who were born in the Developing World.
