Anna Ivey is a former Dean of Admissions at the University of Chicago Law School. Through her former position, she admitted thousands of students into the Law program. Her former position offers her the insider knowledge of what Admissions Officers look for in potential students to accept into their programs. Through her book The Ivey Guide to Law School Admissions: Straight Advice on Essays, Resumes, Interviews, and More, she reveals what the student should expect when starting the process of applying for law school.

I was impressed by the in-depth advice and actual samples that were contained in this book. Entire chapters were devoted to important topics such as fine-tuning a resume, writing unforgettable essays, and making a star presentation for the interview. These chapters alone would set a potential student far above the typical applicant.

This book is like having a personal consultant working for the applicant’s own best interest. It will provide a needed edge to make an application shine. I feel that if her expert advice is followed, a person should double their chances of gaining admittance to the college of their choice. Very highly recommended.
