Ivey served as dean of admissions at the U. of Chicago Law School, and now runs Anna Ivey Admissions Counseling, a counseling firm for college, business school, and law school applicants. She draws on her experience to offer insider's advice on admission decisions from the application and essays, to the interview and recommendations. She also examines how much the LSAT, ethnicity, and age really matter, how to write an essay that stands out from the others, and whether law school is worth the cost? Stories about real admission decisions supplement the author's advice. Sample essays, resumes, and recommendations are provided.
