How Mike Spivey Would Apply to Law School


Listen Later

This is a very encompassing podcast that features the A to Z of the law school admissions process, starting with "Why am I applying" and finishing with scholarship negotiation and the three things that applicants are doing who are punching above their numbers this competitive cycle—with most everything in between covered.
Three other blogs/podcasts are mentioned during this podcast:
First, the brief motivational blog Mike wrote that caught that eye of deans of admissions in respect to writing about what matters to YOU, which is what often stands out to others. https://www.spiveyblog.com/posts/failure-is-a-liar
Second, the podcast on being extroverted when visiting law schools. https://www.spiveyblog.com/posts/overcoming-insecurity
Finally, the applicant who was admitted to Vanderbilt for standing out despite being 15-17 points below the median LSAT is mentioned here: https://blog.spiveyconsulting.com/if-you-didnt-get-the-lsat-school-you-dreamed-of/
