Tips

Ms. Wallick finds that the most common mistake students make is that they start thinking about the application process very late. Applicants don’t spend enough time and effort building a competitive profile for their LL.M. Instead, they rush to apply and miss out on easy but critical improvements that can add holistic value to their application. A challenge is time management – when preparing publications, services and ‘extra-practice’ activities, care should be taken to balance practice responsibilities and often a very full workload, or, for students, a full course load. Notes and rank matter but are not the only vertical on which suitability for admission is measured, whether in the United States or the United Kingdom.

Ms. Wallick is a barless subject matter mentor. She believes that students should not ask for “help on demand”. Instead, they should request a profile review and work with a mentor who can provide guidance in the early years of law school. This will help the student understand how their performance in law school affects their application process in subsequent years. Ms. Wallick and her team spend sufficient time with their students to ensure a fundamental understanding of the application procedures, materials and requirements. Additionally, Ms. Wallick carefully explains how submissions might be viewed by readers and reviewers of the college admissions team. This is one area where she can provide first-hand insight into her time at Harvard Law School.
