Listen Later

In this episode, Sydney Montgomery, Executive Director and Founder of Barrier Breakers, offers invaluable advice on writing a compelling 'Why This School' essay for law school applications. Using an engaging analogy with 'The Bachelorette,' Montgomery explains how applicants can convincingly express their genuine interest and connection to a particular law school. She provides essential dos and don'ts, such as avoiding generic praises and ranking mentions, instead focusing on personal stories and unique value alignment with the school. The episode also highlights family ties, geographic reasons, and community values as key angles to explore. Montgomery concludes by sharing an offer for admission advising services, including a special discount.
