Burke followed next by asking himself why he wanted to go to law school.

“The ability to determine why you want to go to law school is the most important step in actually starting the process and applying to law school. I still constantly ask myself why I’m in law school. You will continually ask yourself until you graduate and you will have that degree and then eventually determine was it for the money or was it for the prestige?” Burke said.

McMahon then introduced the topic of how to navigate the application process and determining where to apply to school.

McBain responded by explaining her process and going from a tier two school to a tier one. After knowing the location where you want to go to school, McBain suggests being a risk taker and challenging what you think you can achieve.

“I think I applied to eight or nine schools. Why are the lowest [applications] usually one to three? Anything over 10 starts to be a lot in my opinion, but I think my biggest tip when applying to law school is to be a little bit delusional,” McBain said.

“Reach for the things that are above what you think you can attain. I was the perfect high tier two student with a scholarship and I ended up going to a tier one school only because I risked outside of my score range. I think you can reach more than you might have thought in the beginning of the process.”

Fahrenkopf acknowledges getting applications completed early and explained how scholarships and spots are easier to come by in an institution because chances are higher.

The discussion was then returned to Carmen and opened the floor for students to ask questions about different topics when it comes to taking gap semesters or a break before pursuing law school, as well as get advice on what to look for in internships and scholarships.
