Optional Why Us? Essays
Submitted Question:
|
As I prepare my applications, I can’t help but notice a few law schools have optional “Why Us?” essays. Are these worth the time and effort? How should I approach them? - GPA: 3.7 LSAT: 169 |
Corey:
These essays allow the applicant to explain why they are serious about attending the law school. If you truly want to attend a school with one of these essays, it is imperative that you submit one. When the law school is deciding between two similar applicants, and one has submitted a “Why Us?” essay and one hasn’t, the school will obviously favor the former.
You should approach these essays in a practical manner. Why is practical for you to attend the law school? Focus on the location of the law school and any family nearby. If you have a special connection to the school, tell them about it. Do not simply research the school on the internet and rehash the information.
