Getting into prestigious law schools has never been easy, even when the demand for law school admission was much less than it is today. In today's highly competitive legal education market, getting into a prestigious law school is generally reserved for only the best and brightest. Here's a couple tips that will help you get into the prestigious law school of your dreams.

First, start preparing yourself for the law school admission process as soon as possible. This means working on your grades from the first day of undergraduate school with the understanding that they are one of the primary components of your law school application. You should also start preparing for the Law School Admission Test, or LSAT, years in advance. If you don't have year, start preparing now. The LSAT is not designed to test your knowledge so much as it is designed to test your mastery of the reasoning strategies required to perform well. With enough practice, you can learn to excel on the LSAT regardless of your intellect or general test-taking ability. Preparation will definitely help you get into a prestigious law school.

The next thing you should do if you want to get into a prestigious law school is to figure out what makes you unique and develop a strategy to convey that uniqueness as a selling point in your law school application. Law schools seek to maintain diversity in their student body and may set aside a spot for you if you add something to the mix that nobody else does. For example, if you're a Mormon and you want to go to Notre Dame law school, don't hesitate to point out that you are a Mormon and emphasize why, despite the fact you're not Catholic, you think Notre Dame would be a great place for you.

If you think a prestigious law school is for you, don't hesitate to invest the time and money required to make your law school application the best it can be. Getting into law school, whether it is prestigious or not, is a difficult endeavor, and you don't want to miss taking advantage of every opportunity out there.
