In approximate order:

1. Ask professors for letters of recommendation. Law schools prefer letters of rec. from professors instead of employers.

2. Study and take the LSAT. I'd recommend at least 6 weeks of studying, but the total length depends on how much time you can invest during this time.

3. Develop a list of schools you're interested in applying to based on your GPA and LSAT. If you have time, plug both of those numbers into the LSAC's useful online tool. It shows you your probability to get accepted at a school based on your GPA and LSAT and will help you significantly narrow down your search.

4. Develop a list of deadlines and requirements for those schools. Most law schools use rolling admission, so the sooner you apply the better. If you can't apply earlier, at least be aware of when the deadline is. Also, be aware of deadlines for scholarships at schools.

4a. Often schools with special scholarships will require applicants to apply earlier to apply for that special scholarship

5. Prepare a personal statement. Most schools limit your statement to four pages, so aim for that.

6. Mail out all your apps.

7. Hope and pray!

8. Go visit the schools you're accepted at to see where you get a better feel. You this judgment, combined with any scholarship offers, the ranking of the school, and any specialty of the school that interests you to determine where to go.

9. Accept the offer! And be prepared for 3 years of agony

What are the entry requirements for the university of Ghana law school?

Answer: first of all it is important to distinguish between university of Ghana law faculty and the Ghana school of law. the former, which is a faculty of the university of Ghana, offers a bachelor of laws degree (LLB) while the latter offers the professional law course leading to a call to the Ghana bar upon successful completion (and other courses though). the current requirement of entry into the Ghana school of law (for the professional law course) is a bachelor degree in law, and the current requirement for entry into the university of Ghana law faculty is a good first degree from a recognised institution. there are other internal procedural requirements to be met, for instance the writing of an entrance exam and interview session at the university of Ghana law faculty. it may be helpful to visit these institutions to make the necessary inquiries as to current requirements. .

Law School Admissions Officer Keeps Enrollment Full?

Although the number of applicants to any law school usually outweighs the available openings, schools are intent on attracting the best and brightest candidates to their institution, which is the job of the law school admissions officer. Jobs in admissions require at least a bachelor’s degree for an entry level position and advanced degrees for top director slots. Some entry jobs in this field, involved in the recruiting, evaluation and admissions of students into law school, are positions involving travel. The law school admissions officer visits campuses around the country to introduce prospective law school applicants to their institution though one on one meetings as well as group presentations arranged by the school. Other entry level jobs involve working on the law school campus as an admissions officer, providing tours of the campus for prospective applicants as well as answering initial questions about the curriculum, student housing, graduation requirements and any other facet of law school life. A law school admissions officer helps to support the Dean of Admissions in the continuing recruitment, evaluation and admission of qualified new students to the law school. Whether working on the road or on campus, every law school admissions officer is a public relations representative of the institution and as such, should be well mannered and well groomed, interested in interacting with students, with genuine salesmanship skills that will attract suitable law school candidates of the calibre the institution desires. An energetic personality with the ability to converse with a wide range of individuals from diverse cultural, economic and ethnic backgrounds is also quite helpful to be a successful law school admissions officer, as is a lifelong passion for education. Law school alumni who are very vocal supporters of their alma mater often make the best law school admissions officers because their enthusiasm about the school’s program is easily conveyed to prospective applicants. Annual salaries can start around the low to mid 40s and go well beyond $70,000 annually for experienced law school admissions counselors who have an excellent track record of knowing how to recruit high calibre students. Many field representatives can work their way up at the same law school to become director of admissions or they may find that admissions is a good jumping off place to enter other law school administration such as fund raising and development or alumni relations.
