Customer Rating:

Summary: Better than Kaplan's Admissions Consulting
Comment: This book is an excellent overview of each part of the admissions process. It is clear and easy to read and offers significant advice. I recommend this book over paying hundreds if not thousands of dollars for Kaplan Admissions Consulting. This book tells you everything that my "consultant" has told me but leaves you feeling much more upbeat and optimistic without spending the extra cash. An excellent buy.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Perfect for all needs
Comment: 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.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Highly Recommended!
Comment: 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!

Customer Rating:

Summary: A MUST READ!
Comment: 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.

Customer Rating:

Summary: Not so good
Comment: 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.

Editorial Reviews:

As dean of admissions at the University of Chicago Law School, Anna Ivey decided the fate of thousands of law school applicants. In this book-the first of its kind by a former law school admissions officer-she draws on her expertise to cover topics from the application and the essay to the interview and the recommendations, touching on hot-button issues like how much the LSAT, ethnicity, and age really matter. Offering an insider's advice on how to produce the very best application, this guide gives straight answers to questions such as:

• What kind of essay should I write to set me apart from the rest of the pack?
• Should I explain my low LSAT score, my D in chemistry, my attention deficit disorder, my time in rehab?
• Is law school worth the debt I'll face when I graduate?

Full of invaluable examples and anecdotes about real admissions decisions, The Ivey Guide to Law School Admissions is certain to become the new bible for would-be law students everywhere.
