The Ivey Guide to Law School Admissions: Straight Advice on Essays, Resumes, Interviews, and More

This was well done. Referred to it often and helped guide me through this process on many larger issues as well as what may seem to be minor issues.
I credit this book with my acceptance and making Law Review in my first year. Thank you.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book! Anna Ivey, former Dean of Admissions at The University of Chicago Law School, provides an insiders guide filled with practical advice for any aspiring law student. It's not too often you will come across a book written by someone from the "other side" of the application process telling you what they are looking for from you when applying to law school. I first started reading this book at the bookstore. To my surprise, I couldn't put it down and sat there reading for at least an hour! If you are planning to apply to law school read this book! You will not be disappointed!

This is a good book that gives helpful advice. It also points you into the right direction as far as the application process and what to expect. You may also want to look at Richard Montauk's most recently released guide and/ or the Princeton Review. These books offer information that you will not find it Ivey's book. However, this book is still provides quite a bit of useful information.

This book is not good. There are much better books that explain what is included in the book. I would only advise buying this book if you need help in writing a request for a recommendation letter because that is the only informative section in this book.

I bought this book hoping to receive some good advice on how to write a statement of purpose and she provided two examples. However, I was extremely disappointed when I read the examples because they are written by people who have experiences that most law school applicants don't. I haven't been in the Coast Guard for 8 years and I haven't been a researcher at a top hospital...She gives no good advice for the normal law school applicant. SKIP THIS BOOK!
