What made you stand out above other applicants?
It would also be appreciated if you can leave your name, your job title, and what company you work for. Thank you.

Hi Graciela,
When I graduated law school in a competitive market, I believe my having worked throughout law school (while doing well academically) helped me stand out. I believe the fact that I majored in the arts (dance) and clearly followed my passion also made me a little different on paper and in interviews. My advice would be to work hard, be yourself and know that not fitting the template can be a good thing. Best of luck to you!

Hello Graciela,
I firmly believe that my internships and previous work experiences have significantly contributed to my distinctiveness. Moreover, the law school you attend can greatly influence the opportunities that come your way. However, this is not to imply that if you don't attend a top 50 law school, opportunities will elude you. It might simply mean that you may need to put in a bit more effort.
Ultimately, regardless of the law school you attend, having work experience and multilingual skills can truly set you apart. Additionally, the law journals you may have contributed to during your law school years can also enhance your profile. Remember, every step you take towards enriching your experiences and skills is a step towards standing out in the crowd. Keep pushing forward!
