Hi guys! Today I'll be walking you guys through the Harvard Law School application process step-by-step. Of course, today's advice isn't just for prospective HLS students-the elements of an excellent law school application ring true for all law schools. We'll discuss:

1) College choice
2) Majors, GPA, and extracurriculars
3) Gap years/professional experience
4) The LSAT
5) The resume
6) The personal statement + optional statements
7) Letters of recommendation
8) Timing
...and much more!

Undoubtedly, the law school application process can be overwhelming. The trick is to take it one step at a time, and MOST importantly, have faith in yourself and the work you are doing. A note of caution: Don't let your undergraduate experience and gap years be overshadowed by the end goal of law school. Instead, let law school conform to YOUR ambitions and dreams along the way. This video is just a rough template of the tools you can employ to get there.

Love, Babs
