Applying to Ivy League schools - A lot of work?
Fri Mar 14, 2008 10:05 PM
Hi guys,

I'm woundering how much work it actually is applying to Ivy League schools? When applying to multiple institutions, do one use the same personal statements and what not? Are there any other requirements along the lines of individually detirmined essays and so on?

Thankfull for all thoughts!

There is no difference in the application because a school is an Ivy League. Of course each school has its own requirement and procedure, although these are quite parallel to the others. A personal observation however is that as you climb the ladder of application towards the top schools, they tend to be a bit more professional, however this does not make much of or any difference to an applicant. So don't bother and just follow the instructions carefully.

As far as the SoP is concered, it primarily talks about yourself and that somewhat remains a constant. However depending on what course you seek to apply to a particular school and why that school the SoP changes or may change. However I'd say the basic structure of your SoP should quite be the same.

For other requirements I suggest you visit the respective law schools website.
