Become a Star Law School Applicant


Remarkably, during the period between June 2009 to February 2010, more people took the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) than in any testing year since the inception of the exam. A total of 171,514 LSAT tests were given during such period, a 13.3 percent increase from the previous testing period. The trend is likely to continue.

The foregoing facts indicate that more and more individuals are deciding to go to law school and this means that the competition has also increased. Question: How can you stand out from the increased law school application competition?

Dear Law School Applicant,

Are you overwhelmed by the law school application process?  I was once in your shoes.  Applying to law school is a daunting and often stressful process.  I not only wanted to attend law school, but I wanted to gain admissions to an Ivy League law school or another top law school.  My dream school was Harvard Law School, but the acceptance percentage was approximately 10%.  I knew that I would be competing against students with similar LSAT scores and grades and even worse, against thousands of students with higher numbers.  I knew I had to make my application stand out as I was determined to create a polished application that highlighted my strengths and demonstrated that I would be an asset to any law school campus. 

In the end, I applied to nine of the top 16 law schools in the nation, and received admission to six of them, including my alma mater, Harvard Law School. By using the same strategies discussed in this guide, I was able to convince several admission committees that I was deserving of an incoming spot to their law school. With the strategies provided in The Star Law Applicant, you can do the same!

After years of answering questions about the law school application process and sharing my tips and techniques with prospective law school applicants, I decided to author The Star Law Applicant.  By buying this guide, you will gain access to strategies suggested by admissions officers at the top law schools as well as additional strategies I used when I was applying to law school - a combination of proven strategies found nowhere else.  Utilizing these strategies will help you maximize or overcome your undergraduate GPA and LSAT score in the application process, just like I did.

I guarantee that you will find this guide helpful, and by following the tips and techniques in this guide, you will improve your chances of getting into your dream school.

Wishing you the best of luck in your application process,

- Starlett A. Carter

Imagine going to the mailbox in anticipation of hearing back from the law schools to which you applied.  Today, there is an envelope from your dream school in the mailbox – you open the envelope with bated breath and ... YOU’VE BEEN ACCEPTED!

This is exactly what happened to me when I opened up my acceptance letter from Harvard Law School.  I was elated.  Thousands of students dream of attending an elite law school, but only a small percentage will be able to achieve it.  Getting into a top law school continues to be more and more competitive.

Everyone knows that the GPA and LSAT score are the most heavily weighted factors when determining admission into law school.  There are thousands of applicants to the top law schools, and you will be competing with those thousands of students that have similar or higher numbers.  The Star Law Applicant will help you stand out from the crowd and will help you maximize or overcome your GPA and LSAT score in the application process.

This guide will teach you the tenets of creating a cohesive application package that engages the admissions officer and increases the chances of you gaining admission into the law school of your choice.

 

WHAT MAKES THE STAR LAW APPLICANT DIFFERENT FROM OTHER LAW SCHOOL ADMISSION BOOKS?

That’s a great question.  I too had a difficult time deciding on what sources
would be most helpful in my journey of applying to law school.

  • The difference with this guide is that the strategies have been proven to work. In essence, this guide is a combination of the strategies I used to gain admission into Harvard Law School and the culmination of endless research from various sources, including direct advice from admissions officers at the top law schools in the country.
  • This guide will undoubtedly help you improve your application. Why waste time spending hours researching application advice when you should be spending those hours perfecting your application? I’ve done all the legwork so there’s no need to look further.
  • The Star Law Applicant is a succinct book consisting of 50 pages. Other written sources for law school application advice are repetitive and contain extra information that is often not useful. You don’t have time to waste reading unhelpful materials when you should be spending all your extra time creating an impressive law school application.
  • Remember ... there is no such thing as guaranteed admission.  What I can guarantee however is that the strategies in this guide are effective.  They worked for me, and they can work for you too.  If you use these strategies and put in the hard work and dedication into your application, you will see positive results!
  • Other admission guides are $20 or even $30, but I wanted to make this guide affordable for all prospective students by charging only $9.99. 
  • For less than the price of $10, you will be provided the tools you need to create an engaging application package and improve your chances of attending your dream law school.
  • The combination of strategies in this book is unique and cannot be found elsewhere. My goal is to help prospective law students enjoy the successes that I had when applying to law school. Get on track to becoming admitted to the law school of your dreams TODAY!
