How Applying to Law School Early Could Pay Off
Many law schools use a rolling admissions process, meaning they evaluate applications as they come in and release admissions decisions, one by one.
Because there are typically more spots available in a law school class at the beginning of the admissions process than at the end, the ideal time for J.D. hopefuls to apply to law school is in the fall or early winter, experts say.
"I tell anyone planning on applying to law school to apply early," Dineen Pashoukos Wasylik, a partner and owner of DPW Legal, an intellectual property and appellate practice boutique law firm in Florida, wrote in an email. "The class just fills up, and it gets harder and harder to get in as time goes on."
Wasylik, who earned her J.D. from Georgetown University, says she knows from experience that the timing of a J.D. application is critical. The first time she applied to law school, Wasilyk was in her senior year of college, and she submitted all her application materials at the last minute because she felt unsure about whether she wanted to attend law school at the beginning of her senior year. She only realized later in her senior year that law school was the logical next step for her, and says she was disappointed by the responses she got from law schools when she eventually did apply.
Evaluate How These Soft Factors Might Impact Your Law School Chances
A lot of factors go into consideration when an admissions committee evaluates a law school application. Many are obvious, such as GPA, LSAT scores, personal statement, letters of recommendation and resume.
Many, however, are unaware that there are other aspects of an applicant that don't necessarily appear on any one document that may grant them a positive nudge when being assessed by law schools. We call these "soft factors," and if one of them is part of your life experience, you would do well to highlight it in your application to improve your chances.
Highlight military service. Schools love veterans, as they typically have the discipline, maturity, and life experience that many applicants – especially those applying from college – may lack. However, as you'll see in almost any soft factor, not all veterans are viewed the same.
Any decorations – especially the rarer ones, such as a Service Crosses or a Silver Star – would give you a leg up on other veterans, so you should discuss the circumstances surrounding any decoration in a personal statement or an optional essay. Additionally, commissioned service, or serving as an officer, is viewed more favorably, as it carries with it additional training and leadership experience.
Showcase outstanding co-curricular achievements. If you have had a paper published in a recognized journal in your research field, or have won awards from recognized outside groups for your research, those are fantastic achievements to highlight on your law school application.
Obviously, the more widely accepted and cited your paper is, the more weight it will carry with schools. Similarly, being a recipient of a prestigious scholarship would also work in your favor, the more exclusive the better.
Play up work experience and relevant expertise. Think about how exclusive your position was to determine how much weight it will be given. Scooping ice cream is unlikely to move a needle much, but being a top-tier executive at a Fortune 500 company would be quite appealing to law school. The expertise, knowledge, determination and demonstrated work ethic are exactly what law schools expect from their students and alumni.
Similarly, being even somewhat-widely known in your field, perhaps by coming up with a new treatment as a doctor or a new approach to a common problem, should also be highlighted. Finally, some relevant, extensive work experience in a field relevant to legal field, for example, working as a chemist for a biotech company who is now looking to get into IP law, could also reflect favorably with the admissions committee.
Demonstrate your leadership experience in school. Even in college you’ll have a chance to shine in many capacities, but here too the specifics matter too. The more people relied on your guidance and the more pressure you were under, the better your application will look.

The average home dweller is unfamiliar with his Homeowners Insurance policy. Of course, this may prove to be exceedingly problematic for those who must deal with the risks and aftermath of losses and damages.
Did you know? A standard policy does not cover damages caused by an earthquake. In addition, earthquakes can actually erupt in places where it is uncommon for its general occurrence.
As odd as it may seem, earthquakes have been known to occur in thirty-nine of this country's fifty states. Approximately ninety percent of Americans reside in spots that have earth movement activity and liability status. What should come as a relief to many without the particular coverage is that earthquake insurance does not have to cost a great deal. An experienced independent agency that has the customer's best interests in mind will be able to provide further information about a policy that is tailored to homeowners, condo, renters or landlord needs at low quotes.
To really understand why most US residents would benefit by adding an earthquake rider to their policy, think about the following:
There is a seventy percent likelihood of destructive earthquakes with a 6.7 magnitude or greater to take place in the San Francisco Bay area in the foreseeable future.
There is a forty to sixty percent likelihood of a large earthquake to occur anywhere in the eastern part of the US in the foreseeable future.
There is a forty to sixty-three percent likelihood of the New Madrid Fault running amid the states of Arkansas, Kentucky, Missouri and Tennessee to experience a genuine earthquake, measuring a magnitude of 6.0 in the foreseeable future.
To sum it up, your insurance professional will tell you that coverage provides protection in the event your home incurs damages from an earthquake. The earthquake rider usually does not cover flood or tidal wave damage. Nonetheless, should you suffer losses as a result of an earthquake's aftereffects, such as a landslide, land settlement, mud flow or because of rising, sinking or constricting of the ground, the coverage may protect you.
When buying earthquake insurance, ask the following:
Will this form of coverage solely protect my home? What about the garage where my car, truck, motorcycle or any other vehicle that I drive is parked?
Will it cover my belongings inside of my home? Will it pay for rent if I need to temporarily relocate as a result of home damages?
Does it have coverage exclusions or limitations?
How high of a deductible is there prior to any coverage payments?
Like any form of insurance, an earthquake endorsement is complicated. Be sure to discuss all aspects of your plan with an agent you can trust.
