PowerScore is truly the industry leader when it comes to quality instruction and student results.

As you’re putting together your list of dream schools, it’s not a bad idea to compare all of the data, and to that end, we’ve put together a chart with … [Read more...]

Supplemental Essays in Law School Admissions: Yes or No?

Supplemental Essays in Law School Admissions Yes or No

Many law schools invite applicants to submit supplemental essays when applying to law school. Surprisingly, the topics you are likely to be asked about do not vary tremendously, and generally boil down to the following.

Can I Take the LSAT Instead of the GMAT to Apply to Business School?

Can I Take the LSAT Instead of the GMAT to Apply to Business School?

Using a GRE score for application to MBA programs (in place of a GMAT score) has become standard practice in recent years as ETS (the makers of the GRE) has aggressively marketed the GRE as a substitute for the GMAT. That's great for GRE takers, but is there a way to use an LSAT score to get into business school, and thus skip taking the GMAT entirely? It turns out that there is--but, there is also a condition in place on using that LSAT score, so let's talk a bit more about the process. LSAT vs GMAT Because the LSAT and GMAT are very different exams, and typically used for very different … [Read more...]

Law School Transfer Statistics and What it Means for You

Law School Transfer Statistics and What it Means for You

If you're nervous about your admissions chances, you might be considering your options for transferring. Something like: “If I don’t get accepted into my dream law school, can I just do well during my 1L and then transfer up?” In 2019, a total of 2,396 students transferred between law schools, so it isn’t uncommon. But as you can see in the chart below, most of the T14 schools admit very few, if any, transfer students.

A Law Degree is Worth Over $1 Million. Can You Get it for Free

Breaking Down the Numbers According to Law School Transparency, as of 2018, the average law school graduate carries $115,000 in student loan debt. To break that down, public law school graduates carry about $92,000 in debt and private law school graduates carry $130,000 in debt. This would all be fine, of course, if you were virtually guaranteed a six-figure salary after graduation. You are not. According to the ABA, nine months after graduating, only 57% of law students had full-time jobs that required passing the bar. For those lucky enough to have a job, the median salary was $60,500.
