Getting into law school. For many, the culmination of their
college career. The reason for 2-month LSAT prep courses,
summers spent in internships at little or no pay, and that
slight sinking feeling in your stomach in the winter and spring
of your senior year. And what happens if you’ve been
out of school for a while, thinking about applying to law
school after years in the work force? You’re older,
you’ve started a career, opened a savings account, maybe
acquired a mortgage and started a 401(k); all the work you
would have had to do if you’d applied to law school
while in college is now tripled—and all the risks remain
the same.
No matter what stage of life you’re in, applying
to law school can be an intimidating task.
Now add this in: In 2008, over 82,000 people submitted
applications to the 197 ABA-approved law schools in the
United States. Of those, only 55,500 gained entry into a
law program—a mere 67%. Statistically, this means
a third received rejection letters from every law school
they applied to. Applying to law school is daunting enough
without counting the possibility that universal rejection
not only happens, but happens 33% of the time.
You’ve spent months studying for the LSAT. You know
how to conquer that test—you know how to make it do
exactly what you want it to do. What happens, though, when
it’s admissions officers that you need to conquer?
What happens when you’ve done all you could and now
the final decision rests entirely with someone else and
the thin sheaf of papers summarizing your academic accomplishments
in their hand?
That’s where we come in.
Law school admissions continue to become increasingly competitive.
Think of the years you have spent preparing for this episode
in your life, the months spent studying, the late-night
crunch sessions, the endless speculation and preparation—why
leave the final and most important part of this process
to chance?
While the LSAT/UGPA combination is certainly very important
for admission, it is oftentimes the rest of your application
folder (the personal statement, recommendations, résumé,
addenda) that end up making that final and most crucial
difference. Sometimes, just getting a second set of eyes
to look at your personal statement or a single unbiased
second opinion of your application is all you need to turn
that thin sheaf of papers into a fat envelope in your mailbox.
How can PowerScore help? We can:
Give
you a complete evaluation of your application
Communicate
your story to admissions counselors in an unforgettable

When you are ready to get started, simply give us a call
or purchase a package online. Once we receive your admissions
counseling request, we will have a counselor contact you within

your counselor, you will discuss to the time and date of your

feel like you and the counselor do not mesh for any reason,
we can arrange for you to work with another counselor.

"I am so happy that I chose PowerScore over
the other courses offered! PowerScore helped me see the LSAT as a very
structured exam that could be tackled effectively. My score went up tremendously
once I understood the logic of the test! I recommend this course to anyone
