Do NOT Say This in Your Law School Personal Statement (Even If It’s True) (Ep. 19)
About this episode
In today’s episode, Ben kicks things off with what might be the most unforgettable personal statement of all time. From vulgar mantras like “shut the f*** up” to reflections on paralegal work and courtroom chaos, Ben gives a brutally honest breakdown of what works—and what absolutely doesn’t—when it comes to law school essays.
Next, Ben dives into the recent changes to the Grad PLUS loan program, explaining why this might actually be good news for future law students. He breaks down how government lending has propped up overpriced, low-ROI law schools for far too long—and what the new caps could mean for tuition, accessibility, and the future of legal education.
Finally, it’s a mailbag lightning round: LSAT retake strategy, proctoring complaints, reading comprehension struggles, character & fitness disclosures (including punching a cop?!), and more. As always, it’s unfiltered, practical advice for people serious about crushing the LSAT and law school admissions.
