What law school should I attend? Is there a difference?
For many people, the landscape of career opportunities after graduating from college is confusing, large, and overwhelming. Many find that they need more training and specialization even if they don’t quite know the field of work they ultimately see themselves working in. A law degree is an amazingly powerful, flexible, and rigorous choice of study that often rewards someone greatly over his or her life.
So.
You worked on your standardized test scores, got your grades up, got awesome recommendations, and sent in your applications. You bit your fingernails, paced back and forth, and waited until the day when the envelope came in the mail from the college of your dreams. You opened it eagerly, and read the letter inside, which let you know that you had been…put on the waitlist.
Oh.
What are some good tips to writing a successful school essay?
If you find yourself struggling with school essay assignments, and everyone does, there are some helpful guidelines you can follow to craft a successful essay. The first essay tip is simply to use all the time you are allotted. Most teachers will give you a few days to a week to work on a paper and you should use all that time. Your teacher is expecting you to. Even if that means only thinking about the assignment at the beginning, you need to begin the intellectual process of crafting an essay as soon as you are given the assignment.
Make one point in your essay. Every successful English paper or history paper is centered on a singular thesis. This isn’t to say you can articulate many ideas about a subject along the way, but the focus of your writing must be unitary for your ideas to cohere. Once you’ve boiled your ideas down to a singular, central thesis, you can begin to plan your essay.

Over the course of college visits, reading brochures, talking to friends, college counselors, and family, students are forming an idea of the kind of school they want to attend. Then comes the decision of applying to college early or not.
There are two kinds of early decision options open to applicants in the college process. One is early decision, which requires a student to submit his or her application around November 1st of his or her senior year. The student will then usually be notified by December15th whether the college accepted, rejected or deferred them to regular decision. There are a couple of big advantages to early decision.
