  • Bad Idea Jeans: C&F Drive-Bys

    I find it astonishing that I have to address Character & Fitness issues every year, but despite having written here and here about being completely candid in your application, every year I come across applications that provoke me to shut the door of the admissions office and have a private Donkey...

  • 203 Redux

    I've been increasingly getting writer's block when sitting down to write for the blog, and realized recently that it might be because we've been blogging now for FIVE YEARS and have already covered a lot of ground. Going back and reading some of my old posts, I noticed that I've gotten...

  • P.S. Boot Camp II: Outsmart, Outwrite, Outlast (a.k.a. The TFA Essay)

    OK, so I'm a year late with the promised second round of my P.S. Boot Camp , and frankly, much later into the summer than I had hoped to be in writing this. But I was gone to San Diego for a much-needed vacation, and San Diego isn't a place where one feels inclined to do work. In fact, as an...

  • Speaking of Law School Scams...

    It's that time of the year again when we get inundated with emails from applicants letting us know that they have scholarship deadlines and that they "must" receive a decision from Yale or that they will be required to withdraw their application in order to accept the scholarship. I addressed...

  • Bad Idea Jeans: The Biggest Mistake You Can Make in Your Yale Law School Application

    I've been procrastinating about writing on the blog, because the more time that passes since my last post, the more embarrassed I am to come back. "Fell off the wagon" doesn't really do justice to the THREE posts we've been able to manage this entire season -- as Craig suggested...

  • Please Don't Lie

    Yes, I've been away from the blog for a while, and my plans for a fall P.S. Boot Camp II got waylaid in light of recruitment travel, flexapp issues, and life in general. Usually, when I come back on the blog after the summer I try to write some cleverly-titled post that offers some humor to kick...

  • Scholarship Deadlines: Truth is Power

    Originally posted April 6, 2011. In my last post , I referenced some law schools' practice of giving "exploding" scholarship offers, requiring students to accept a major, full-tuition scholarship offer within a matter of days. Well, as usual, we've been inundated in the past few days...

  • Apple Trees, Honeybees, and Snow White Turtledoves

    I spent the holidays alone , in my office, reading files. Seriously. Not J.D. admissions files (I'm all caught up with you guys!), but L.L.M. files, which are an international bunch. L.L.M. files are...interesting. Especially the transcripts. For example, did you know that in Germany, the second...

  • Technical Matters

    We've concluded our recruiting for the season, and I hope that many of you got to see us in person, either at your school or on one of our webinars. I think I've covered most of the questions usually asked in our information sessions at some point in this blog (the very early Ask Asha posts covered...

  • Bad Idea Jeans: Nobody Does It Like Sandra Lee

    As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, many of you are putting the finishing touches on your law school applications. You might also be getting a few cooking tips from some of the great chefs at The Food Network. We here at 203 are especially big fans of Sandra Lee, host of TFN's Semi-Homemade...
