PS
The personal statement should demonstrate your ability to communicate effectively and concisely. While you have the widest possible latitude in choosing the substance of your personal statements, experience shows that the most successful personal statements are those which develop a sense of the person, his or her values, aspirations, and concerns. A discussion of the unique contributions you would likely make to the student body, the legal profession, and ultimately the larger society, would also be well received.
We ask that your personal statement not exceed two pages, double spaced.
Note: Additional materials such as videotapes, audio tapes, term papers, theses, dissertations, articles, memoranda of law, legal briefs, etc., cannot be considered, and will not be returned to the applicant.
CV
Your resume should highlight your professional and academic achievements as well as volunteer experiences and extracurricular involvement.
Fee
Enclose a check or money order in the amount of $70 (payable to Fordham Law School) for the non-refundable application fee. If you are applying electronically through LSAC, you will need to pay this fee with a major credit card.
