Is law school admissions really holistic, or is that just buzzword smoke and mirrors? In this episode, Autumn, Lizanne, and Logan pull back the curtain on what committees actually look for when deciding who gets in. From the truth about “optional” essays and letters of recommendation to why GPA and LSAT scores still dominate the process, we unpack the science and the art of admissions.

We also dive into the US News and World Report rankings game, why it shapes admissions more than applicants realize, and what you can do to stand out when thousands of files are competing for a seat. Whether you are starting your application or rethinking strategy, this episode is a must-listen for anyone serious about law school.
