“Don’t know if you remember me, but you helped my son prepare his qualifications and applications for law school. Well, he graduated from American U.’s Washington College of Law this past Sunday, in three years. So, I wanted to let you know and thank you again for your invaluable help.”

Fred Frank

For the past five years, the number of students and professionals applying to law school has increased at a record-breaking pace. As more and more students apply to law school, acceptance into the school of your choice becomes more difficult.

Most law school applicants believe that their acceptance into law school will be based primarily on their LSAT score and undergraduate GPA. What many applicants fail to realize is that the majority of students applying to the same law school have very similar numbers when it comes to their GPA and LSAT. While your LSAT score and GPA will undeniably be major factors in admissions, you can separate yourself from the rest of the applicant pool by assembling the most powerful application folder possible. To do this you must have a perfect personal statement, top-notch letters of recommendation, and flawless overall presentation.

PowerScore has gathered a team of admissions experts—including former law school admissions board members, top lawyers, and students from top ten law schools—to address your admissions counseling and personal statement needs. Our admissions experts can help you address weaknesses in your application such as a low GPA or LSAT score, inconsistent undergraduate performance, non-traditional undergraduate major, criminal record, and time gaps in your work history.

Our counselors also work to bring out the strengths in your application, allowing you to present the most attractive profile to the admissions committee. A strong application not only increases your chances of acceptance but also increases your chance of receiving scholarship offers. In addition, our admissions counselors can address many issues and questions including:

  • The difference between a regional and national law school
  • The benefits, responsibilities, and constraints of an legal career
  • The decision of whether law school is the right place for you
  • The academic and social atmosphere of law schools
  • The type of JD program to go into
  • The search for the best law school to achieve your goals
  • The best time to apply to law school
  • The early action dilemma
  • The solutions to being waitlisted or having your application held

One highly effective way to separate yourself from the rest of the pool is to write an impeccable personal statement. Our admissions counselors have had years of experience reading and revising personal statement. Many of our admissions counselors derive their writing expertise not only from first hand experience with law school application personal statements, but also from their journalism, legal, and professional writing careers. PowerScore has developed the best approach to help applicants prepare their personal statement, and once you enroll for any amount of admissions counseling a comprehensive questionnaire will be sent out to you to give your counselor relevant background information, an idea of your needs, and an opportunity to help you before they even speak with you, thereby maximizing the time spent speaking with your counselor.

Based on your discussions and the information you provide in your questionnaire, your counselor can design a game plan based on your specific needs. Whether you have weaknesses to address or strengths to be highlighted, our counselors have mastered the ability to create the strongest personal statement for you. If you are not sure what your needs are, but know you must to improve your admission chances, our instructors can help you identify your file’s strong points and limitations by going through your personal statement, addendums, résumé, and letters of recommendation. Unlike other companies who require you to follow a pre-set admissions counseling plan that may not fit your needs, our counselors will develop a plan tailored to your needs in order to provide you with the best possible application.

When you are ready to get started, simply give us a call or purchase hours online. Once we receive your admissions counseling request, we will have a counselor contact you within two business days. During your preliminary conversation with your counselor, you will discuss the time and date of your first telephone appointment, the duration of your meeting, and the specific components you would like to work on. If, at this time, you feel like you and the counselor do not mesh for any reason, we can arrange for you to work with another counselor.

We offer open-ended admissions counseling at the rate of $100/hr. Open-ended admissions counseling is designed for applicants that already know what they need to work on and feel that it would take less than three hours to complete.
